What is your style? Once you have found the "One" you need to make it your own. It is giving your signature to your dress, look, wedding and venue. It is like the icing on the cake.
How do you imagine walking town the aisle? In a modern or more bohemian dress - with your hair loose or sprinkled with flowers or headpiece- or in full ball gown with cathedral or just a blusher veil - or with traditional lace or instead with a glamorous embroidered bodice? You are presented with a world of options.
One advice for all the brides: Don't try to be someone else on your wedding. Your wedding dress & style should be the extension of your personality- you need to be and look comfortable with the dress and style or you just won't look right on the day, because it won't be you!
