Wedding dresses & designers you will love
Now when it comes to picking out your wedding dress you might know exactly what style and designer you would like to wear or have no idea.⠀ ⠀ I know it can seem overwhelming as there are SO many styles. The best advice I was given before I started dress hunting was to not just book any old wedding dress shop but to do my research first:⠀ ⠀ 1. Create a mood board of dresses you like on Pinterest⠀ 2. Find out what the designers of those pinned dresses you favour⠀ 3. Use Google to find shops that stock the designers you love and where they are based⠀ 4. Book an appointment ⠀ 5. Hopefully find your dream dress Below are some of my favourite dresses designers which real brides and models have worn whom I have photographed. I hope these inspire you and help you on your journey to find your dream dress.
