When selecting your gown, be open minded to trying on all styles and all designs. This means you must be comfortable with the salon consultant working with you. Don’t be afraid to talk and communicate with her. Tell the consultant what you like and don’t like. Do you want a special button, sleeve, neckline, fabric? Tell your consultant what you envision. With so many designers and gowns, they can usually find it for you. We have found that with nine out of 10 brides their final choice is not what they came into Imaginations thinking they wanted for their wedding dress. For example, the silhouette is a popular style. Everyone loves the fit and flare, but it may not be the right style for your body. Be open minded and trust the salon consultant.
