How To Choose Perfect Second Wedding Dresses

Hello, I'm Ellie, and I'm 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 your perfect dress and accessorizing. In this video, we're going to talk to you about how to find your perfect second 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 kind of determined that you sort of notice the style of dress that you're going to be looking for, and then you can start your mission of wedding dress shopping. Don't have a preconcieved idea, really of what you're 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 sort of vague idea. 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 just because you're getting married the second time around, doesn't mean you can't feel like a bride.

You may have, for instance, got married in your twenties and wore a really traditional wedding dress which isn't going to suit a registry office which is probably more than likely where you'll be getting married the second time around. But the same time, you still want to feel like a bride, so consider slightly more sophisticated sheek ideas. Something depending when your second marriage is, from your thirties, forties, up until your sixties, you want to consider your figure and how it's changed.

So think about your setting. Are you having a manor house, or where you're having the blessing inside the house, you can wear something slightly more traditional. But maybe keep away from the bigger a-line.

I would consider sleeves, or maybe a shrug, or any sort of slight embellishment to keep the dress sophisticated and elegant. And I think that's the key to finding your perfect second wedding dress. .
