8 Wedding Dress Tips from The Pros:
“Try on several dress styles: Your dream gown may be different from what you originally had in mind.”
“To diffuse any make up stains, blot your dress with white talcum.”
“Pick a gown in a color that compliments your complexion: If you have dark or olice skin, a White gown will sparkle and shine. If you’re fair, consider Ivory.”
“Bring 2 pairs of shoes: one for the ceremony, the other to put in the reception site’s feezer. Whe your feet start hurting, slip on the second pair to feel instantly refreshed – trust me!
“To get creases out of your dress, take it out of its bag and hang it up several days before the wedding, with a clean drop cloth underneath.”
“Get a proper last fitting for your gown. Many brides lose or gain weight until right before the wedding.”
“Bring toupee tape, safety pins, and needle and thread in case you need to make emergency alterations. And don’t forget to wear Band-Aids to protect your heels from a night of dancing in new shoes.”
“Have your bridal salon teach your maid of honor the art of bustling – one less thing for you to worry about.”

Thanks to “Brides” for the tips.

Many are available in dyebable white satin, so your color options are endless!
