What are the do’s and don’ts of choosing a wedding gown?
Amanda Lee (AL) Always consider your venue, which will usually set the tone for the wedding—and hence the look of your gown. Do take your personal style into consideration, because your gown should be a reflection of who you are. Most importantly, seek professional advice. Don’t follow trends blindly, and don’t buy your dress from dubious sources just because the price seems attractive. Simply said, the “right” price may not get you the “right” dress.
There has been a rising trend of non-white wedding gowns. Are there any colours brides should avoid?
AL Colours really speak to every individual differently, so frankly, there’s no particular colour a bride should avoid. Rather, we will only advise her to steer away from hues that don't complement her skin tone.
