Monique Lhuillier's tips for wedding gown shopping

An article published in the USA Weekend lists Monique's tips when shopping for a wedding gown. They are:

1. Go in with an open mind. You may think you know what you're looking for and what works for you, but you have to try on several different dresses.

2. Don't shop with too many people. You'll just get confused, because everyone has an opinion. Listen to the little voice inside of you.

3. Fit is key. Be as comfortable as you can in your wedding gown. The better it fits, the happier you will be on the big day.

Monique's bridal gowns are available exclusively in Australia at Helen Rodrigues.

Be yourself

Whilst we may have the perfect outfit in mind when it comes to a special dinner, party, or even work, choosing a wedding gown is a momentous moment in every girl’s life. As Oscar de la Renta asserts, your wedding gown is the most significant dress you will ever wear and should therefore reflect your personal style and taste. Individuality and flair is encouraged – whether you are a classic bride after a graceful, romantic feel or would prefer a more modern, edgier sort of frock.

Nevertheless, it is important to be open to trying on dresses of varying style and form, as many brides ultimately decide upon something different than originally envisaged. The best advice afforded to any bride-to-be is to choose a gown that is in keeping with your inherent style – and you can’t go wrong.
