Be realistic about the amount of money that you have to spend. Come up with a budget for the whole event and then allocate some money for the dress. Once you have set a figure, try not to burst your budget. For instance, if you have a small budget, consider buying second hand dresses or buying from cheaper shops.
Consulting a stylist can help you find the best dress for you. A stylist can make recommendations that you might not even have thought of. They can also help you to find the best designs for your bridesmaid's dresses as well. So, if you don't naturally have a good fashion sense, consider consulting a stylist.
Give yourself adequate time to find your dream dress. However, keep in mind not to shop too early, or the dress might be out of fashion by the time you are wearing it. Another thing is that you can keep changing your mind about altering it all the time, if there is too much time to your big day. If you wait until too close to the date of the occasion, you might get frustrated running around trying to find the perfect dress.
Be open minded. Don't be too rigid about what you want. Be willing to try out styles that you might not even consider. Or be willing to shop in places that you might not have thought. For example, a second hand dress can turn out much better than even a new one. Just be willing to experiment and find what works for you.
As much as it is fun to have your friends take you shopping, keep a sober mind. Don't let their opinions sway you too much, so that you are confused about what to buy. Let them advice you but it is up to you to make the ultimate decision. Buy something that makes you happy.
Be prepared to do some hard work. Finding a good dress takes work. You have to invest your time and energy in the search. If you are too lazy, you will greatly limit your options and not find a good buy. If you are too busy at work or school or with other things, then consider asking your best maid or some of your friends to help you.
Be practical on the decision that you make. No need to go for a bare back or bare shoulder when it is freezing cold, buy something that will keep you warm. Also, consider the theme of the event and how your dress will go with it. Go for something that blends in well with the surroundings, whether you are indoors or outdoors.
