Let’s be honest, we’ve all dreamt of our very own Say Yes to the Dress moment since we were a little girl. The moment you put that special dress on turn around and look at yourself in the mirror and you just know. Well, none of this would be possible without a boutique or dress designer. So shopping for the perfect gown can be an exhilarating, exciting and, yes, overwhelming experience. But, where should you be looking? Which wedding dress designers should you go to? It can be quite tricky to figure out the first steps.
Your wedding dress will most likely also be the most stared-at, photographed piece of clothing you ever buy. No pressure!
So we are here to narrow down your choices of places to find your dream wedding dress:
