How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Dress for Your Melbourne Wedding
1. Budget and timing
Set your budget and timing first. A custom wedding dress is usually more expensive than buying off the rack or renting. Decide early, as it can take 12 months for a popular designer to make a custom wedding dress.

2. Venue and wedding vibe or theme
Your wedding location and vibe can help you decide which dress style to choose. Your wedding dress should match the location and the wedding vibe. For instance, a modern satin dress suits an urban location and theme, while a line gown with lace details suits a winery or black-tie theme. A less structured silhouette and lightweight fabric, such as tulle, would look best in the wind and at the beach.

3. Silhouette and details for your body
Choose a silhouette that highlights your favourite feature or hides your least favourite. If you want to highlight your curves, a drop-waist A-line gown or a mermaid gown would be a great choice. If you are conscious of your hips, an A-line or a soft ball gown that flares from the waist would highlight your small waist and hide your hips.

Neckline is another detail to consider, depending on what you like or don't like about your shoulders. For instance, if you are conscious of a small bust, a gently curved sweetheart or soft scoop U-shape is a good option, while a halter or mock neck would also work, giving a chic, elegant look. For upper-arm confidence, an off-the-shoulder neckline would look best.
4 Fabric and lace
For a structured, modern look, satin is a great choice; for something more romantic, a lace wedding dress in an A-line or a fitted column silhouette is a perfect choice. There is also a cost consideration: beaded and 3D lace are often expensive because they require additional time to hand-sew onto the dress.
