How The Find The Perfect Elegant Wedding Dress

Hello, I'm Ellie. And I am Charlotte, and we run a bridal boutique in Southwest London called Ellie & Charlotte. We've been making wedding dresses for the last ten years and we're going to show you some of our top tips on finding the perfect dress and accessorizing.

In this video, I am going to show you how to find your perfect elegant wedding dress. When looking for your wedding dress, you need to consider what style of wedding you're having, if you're having a winter wedding, a summer wedding, a beach wedding etc. Once you've established that and actually got a date set for your wedding, then you can start the mission of finding your perfect wedding dress.

The best thing to do is to actually look in your wardrobe and see what dresses and tops you absolutely love wearing. Whether the neckline is a sweetheart, whether it's a round neck, whether you've got a strapless dress that you adore wearing, or whether you really like wearing sleeves. Once you've kind of determined that you sort of know the style of dress you are going to be looking for, and then you can start your mission of wedding dress shopping.

Don't have a preconceived idea really of what you are going to end up with because when you start trying on a full length ivory dress, everything changes, but it is good to have a vague idea of, I definitely want sleeves, I definitely don't want strapless. Then when you start looking and trying on, then it will all become clear. The best thing to do is just to book a whole load of appointments and go in and try on dresses.

The more you try on, the more obvious it becomes to what suits you. Now ,at Ellie and Charlotte, we all believe that elegance is at the back. Because you're going to have your flowers at the front and actually it's all about you at the front, so at the back, that is where all the elegance happens.

Strapless dresses are beautiful but we think that when you actually have the V and the buttons in the back, that's when you have the real elegance in the dresses. Lots of our designs are influenced by the twenties and thirties and these dresses are just timeless because of the influence. This dress for example, this was actually my wedding dress, and I'm crazy about the twenties and thirties, and I wanted to feel really elegant on my wedding dress.

So even though I had the V and essentially this is a strapless dress at the back, because I had these sleeves coming over here, I think this is the reason why it looks really elegant, because you've got this extra flowing fabric. And it's the same when you have the V here, it draws the eye down from the shoulder and just makes the whole of the back look really elegant. So when trying to find your perfect elegant wedding dress, think about what the back looks like.

And that's just a few tips on how to find your perfect elegant wedding dress.
