Wedding planning can be extremely stressful for a bride. There are just so many pieces to keep track of to create the whole “Wedding Day” picture. Just like putting together a puzzle, sorting the edge and corner pieces first can help the rest of the pieces fall into place more easily. Some of those top priority “corner pieces” are to find your venue and to find your wedding dress! These need to be at the top of your to-do list because they have such a foundational part to planning your wedding. Booking your venue is an obvious top priority–you need somewhere to host your celebration! But some don’t realize how important it is to find your dress early on in the planning process! Finding your dress several months (even a year) before your wedding will give you the widest possible selection of gowns to choose from and will take a huge load of stress off your plate!
Aside from your timeline, your wedding dress also impacts a lot of other aspects of wedding planning. It obviously affects how you do your hair, makeup, and what accessories you choose, but it also has a big influence on the overall aesthetic of your big day (think decor and florals).
Here’s an example of a mood board with the entire wedding planned around the design and details of the dress:
The dress is really what pulls it all together and helps the whole wedding aesthetic feel harmonious. Your dress showcases your personality, unique beauty, and your love story. Finding your wedding dress is like filling in those edge and corner pieces on a big puzzle. You are setting yourself up for success to let the rest of those pieces fall into place!
