Wedding Gown Styles Shopping Is Easier if You Have a Rough Idea of Styles to Try On
There are many wedding gown styles in the markets – in Nigeria, as well as all over the World. Choosing the right style that will flatter your best body assets and hide your not-so-great body features is what most brides spend so much time on, and some even end up buying wedding gowns that either look like it’s wearing them or they look pregnant in or makes them look ugly. We are tired of hearing grooms tell us how disappointed they were when they first sighted their bride in her wedding gown. So, start early to find the right wedding gown style – see the pictures in the above video slideshow for the in-vogue wedding gown styles in Nigeria – call it our naija wedding gowns lookbook.
For engaged brides preparing to walk down the aisle, wedding dress shopping is one of the most stressful and time-consuming parts of wedding planning, even though every bride-to-be looks forward to it soon after her engagement. Wedding gown designers advise that brides first start from catalogs and magazines or wedding websites to compile pictures of wedding dresses they like – before starting to shop. It can get tiring if you have to try up to 20 weddings before finding the “it gown”. Most bridal shops won’t even let you try-on so many of their gowns.
