Getting ready in advance
Traveling to bridal shops should not be the first or last thing on your wedding to-do list.
If you buy a dress before you've set a budget or chosen a style, it can be difficult: it's hard to fit a rustic dress into a classic wedding concept. If you put off buying a dress until later, you risk not having time to find exactly what you need. Therefore, it is best to choose a wedding dress approximately 3 months before the expected celebration.
To begin with, we recommend looking at images and photographs of brides on wedding websites, blogs, and magazines. To understand what style may suit you, what is trending now, study the styles and works of designers in your city, in Russia and abroad. Only after you have briefly outlined your preferences and images, you can start choosing a salon.

What happened in the first season
In the first season, the participants were different. Each had their own requests. Someone wanted a classic wedding dress no more expensive than 45 thousand rubles. Someone expressed wishes about buying a chic princess dress. And someone talked about a Harry Potter-themed wedding. And choosing a dress in this case was very difficult. But not impossible.
Experienced designer Bicholla helped each girl. And everyone was happy. However, it was not always possible to meet the expected budget. But the suitors were lenient in this regard. And they were ready to pay additional expenses, just so that their beloved’s eyes would glow with happiness. And one groom, seeing his bride in a chic dress, even proposed marriage to her again.
There were more surprises. One of the brides came to the fitting with her mother and grandmother. Grandmother got married 50 years ago. And Bicholla decided to surprise her. He picked out a dress, hat and gloves for his granddaughter exactly the same as the grandmother had worn many years ago. Thus touching the lady.
Popularity
It is desirable that the selected stores are popular and in demand among brides. Why? Usually you can find reviews about such salons in the public domain, which means they monitor the quality and level of service.
Good light, friendly staff, comfortable and spacious fitting rooms - this is not the entire list of characteristics that a good wedding fashion salon should have. If finances do not allow, then refrain from traveling to overly expensive boutiques - this may give false dreams of a dress that you cannot afford.
Choose a few salons with a good selection and visit them first. Too many places and dresses can quickly become boring, so it’s better to choose from several options and not spread yourself thin.

Joy
This app creates something of a social network for you and your guests. As an admin, you can change its design (for example, put a photo with the groom), upload pictures, make a guest list, change information about the venue, timing, dress code - and it will immediately be displayed in the application for all invitees. And they, in turn, will confirm their presence - you will see it on the screen.
The application is complemented by the online version of Joy, which allows you to create an entire website dedicated to your celebration - with any notes, interviews with the bride and groom, maps with convenient routes to the ceremony site and much more. Everything seems to be convenient and beautiful, but it is suitable only for those who have no problems with the English language: neither the application nor its online version yet has a Russian version.

Consultants
Listen to the advice of consultants. Consult about your body type and the styles that suit it. Ideally, try on different dress models to see for yourself your preferences and see how your figure looks in each of them.
This recommendation especially applies to the first salon if you plan to go to several - at the first fitting you will already be able to dismiss dozens of dresses that definitely do not suit your figure, height or mood.

Bella's wedding dress from the movie "Twilight"
The Twilight film franchise became mega-popular all over the world after its release, just like the actors who played the main roles - Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. This was especially true of Bella’s image - her clothing style, hairstyle, demeanor, phrases, down to the little details of her image (for example, her engagement ring), literally became an object for copying and imitation. And of course, this applied to her wedding look!
Fans of the saga were eagerly awaiting the release of the Twilight movie. Saga. Breaking Dawn - Part 1" because it was in this film that Edward and Bella got married. One of the main intrigues was the bride's dress - after all, due to the fact that this is a fantasy film, the designers had an almost unlimited flight of imagination.
As a result, Bella Swan's wedding dress did not disappoint fans - it was created by the stylists of the Carolina Herrera brand from satin fabric, straight cut, which emphasized the slender figure of the bride. There were no unnecessary details or massive decorations on it. A special feature of the dress was the back, trimmed with lace, and a number of small buttons along the entire length, from the collar to the hem.
The sleeve cuffs were also trimmed with lace fabric. The whole look was completed with satin stiletto heels with a square buckle, a small comb with sapphires and a long veil. Also a noticeable detail of the image was the engagement ring, which we talked about in the material The most popular jewelry from movies and TV series. Bella's wedding dress looked very romantic and elegant, but at the same time suitable for a young girl:
Textile
Pay attention to the quality of fabrics. The fabric of a wedding dress should be light and airy. It should not shine, rustle or prick - otherwise you risk scratching your skin all evening until it turns red. The higher quality the fabric, the more expensive the dress, but there are exceptions, so if you are not an expert, it will be great if you bring someone into the salon who can help, or consult with specialists in advance.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1"

Fans of the Harry Potter franchise adore it for its amazing atmosphere of magic and wizardry. It is not surprising that the wedding dress in the film had to be difficult. Costume designer Jani Temime created a dress of a real sorceress for the heroine Fleur Delacour - the snow-white outfit was embroidered with black threads in the form of a pattern - two phoenix birds that decorated the bodice of the dress. Unfortunately, after the release of the film, the creators were accused of plagiarism - the outfit was somewhat reminiscent of a dress from the 2009 Alexander McQueen autumn-winter collection.
Company
Be sure to take company with you - your mother or best friends. People who can tell you the shortcomings of the chosen dress or its advantages. But remember that the wedding is still yours. It’s worth listening to advice, but only if it relates exclusively to the style of the dress itself, price or its appropriateness, and not to subjective characteristics. First of all, listen to yourself!
Don't be afraid to ask about discounts! This is especially true in the off-season - from November to February you can buy a beautiful dress at the best price or even get on sale.

The wedding of Anastasia Steele and Christian Gray was no less anticipated than the wedding of Bella and Edward. In the third part of the franchise, called “Fifty Shades Freed,” the main characters got married and Anastasia’s dress (played by Dakota Johnson) became the object of desire for many brides. The image turned out to be memorable - the wedding dress was made of lace fabric and emphasized the bride’s figure, and the whole image was completed by a long veil and decoration on her hair.
The dress was designed by Monique Lhuillier, and the outfit was created in a classic style, but with modern elements of cut - it is a mermaid style with long sleeves and open shoulders.

Ravenna's wedding dress in the film "Snow White and the Huntsman"
Another film about the adventures of Snow White, which was released almost simultaneously with the previous one, “Snow White: Revenge of the Dwarves.” But in this work, the main role was played by Kristen Stewart and the film itself turned out to be more dramatic, but still in the end with a good ending. At the beginning of the film, viewers can see the wedding of the king, Snow White's father, and Ravenna (played by Charlize Theron), her future stepmother.

This film has become a classic of world cinema, and the book is one of the most popular novels that people still read with pleasure.

Among all the main character's outfits, one of the most memorable is the wedding dress in which Scarlett gets married for the first time. In the story, this is her mother's dress, which was hastily altered to fit Scarlett's figure and this makes it look a little larger than necessary. The voluminous sleeves of the outfit also emphasize this, but overall the image turned out to be very solemn and memorable:
Bridget Jones's wedding dress in the movie "Bridget Jones 3"
From the very first part, fans of the book and the film wondered whether Bridget Jones would eventually marry Mark Darcy, and if she did, what her wedding dress would be like. We had to wait quite a long time: the third part of the story was filmed in 2021 - that is, 15 years after the release date of the first film, and this, you see, is quite a long time. But it was in the third part that the scriptwriters showed the wedding of Bridget and Mark, which became the finale of the film and the entire story as a whole. So the strong love of the main characters conquered both time and all disagreements between them. The main character was 43 years old at the time of the wedding, and she wore an ivory dress with a “princess” silhouette, complemented by a bolero jacket and veil:

Although the filmmakers did not show the wedding ceremony, in this episode of the show the main character emphasized that it was a wedding dress.
It was made of organza and chiffon, and also embroidered with Swarovski crystals, with a very original decor of intertwined rhinestones on top of the dress. By the way, in the material The most popular jewelry from films and TV series, we talked about a brooch with the image of a mockingjay, which became one of the symbols of the film.
