Hi Love!

Are you ready for another Tip Tuesday?

We get so many questions from our brides about finding The One. The perfect gown. Though this really depends on the Bride’s personality and style, we do have a few ideas on how to make the right choice!

You should wear your dress; it shouldn’t wear you. Find something that accentuates all of your best features and makes you feel your best, not something that takes away or covers up who you really are! All of the details should compliment and add to who you are without overpowering your personality and body type.
Don’t become too attached to your Pinterest dress or beat yourself up if it didn’t look the same on you as it did a model! First of all, you are a BOMBSHELL. Second, though Pinterest is amazing for figuring out styles and details that you like (we love when brides have done a little research and come in knowing styles that intrigue them), we find that A LOT of brides end up choosing a style totally different than what they originally pinned. Just like most online shopping, styles and designs sometimes look differently on you than they do in photos.
Is your personal style trendy, timeless, or a little of both? We carry an incredible selection of beautiful trendsetting and timeless gowns. Though we love all of the new styles we see each season, the trendiest styles aren’t always for everyone and we want all of our brides to love their gowns 10, 20, and 30 years from now! Make sure you shop for what makes YOU light up, and not just what you’ve seen on the newest Say Yes to the Dress. If what you love is the newest trend, you go girl! It is possible to rock a trendy AND Timeless dress on wedding day.

We hope this takes off a little pressure when choosing your perfect gown at Bateau. We can’t wait to meet you!

XOXO,

Bateau Team
