Wedding gowns are not made to measure, but cut to a size on each company's chart. Bridal sizing charts are not consistent with ready-to-wear sizes.

What matters most is that your dress fits your personality. The line design should maximize the positive aspects of your figure and minimize the negative. Illusion is more important than what we see.

The better you feel about the way you look, the better you are going to look in your gown; no matter what anyone thinks.

To relieve stress: Make arrangements and/or order the critical "five" a year in advance, Gown, Church, Reception, Photographer and Florist, when time permits.

Friends are all-important to each of us, but your wedding day is yours. All decisions should reflect you and your fiancées opinion. After all it is your very special day.

Choose bridesmaids wisely. Personalities should blend to create an exciting, loving atmosphere.
