Step 6:
“Hold that purchase. Seriously, don’t even think about buying that perfect dress you found without having a date or location chosen. Both of these can have tremendous impact on what the look and feel of the wedding is going to be, including the attire. Also, keep in mind that wedding gowns, like all fashion items, are seasonal. Something you see in the summer may not work for a winter wedding. On the other hand, I have designed an entire wedding with an amazing gown as my inspiration. So, if you fall madly in love with a gown and your besties approve, go for it (as long as you're willing to be flexible on the other stuff)!”
