Every bride deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and true to herself on her wedding day. But with endless options, trends, and price points, finding the perfect dress can feel overwhelming. That's why we've brought in Alexandra, owner of Bella Bride Boutique, to share her decade of experience in the bridal fashion industry.Alexandra's approach is refreshingly practical yet deeply respectful of the emotional journey that is wedding dress shopping. "Make sure that when those doors open and you're walking down the aisle, that they're looking at you as a whole," she advises, emphasizing that your dress should enhance your presence, not overshadow it.We dive into the current shift toward minimalist, timeless designs that won't look dated in photos decades from now. The basque waist silhouette is making a major comeback, creating that perfect hourglass shape that flatters virtually every body type. And if you're wondering about colors, Alexandra confirms that pure white is on its way out, with ivory, champagne, and blush tones taking center stage for their universally flattering qualities.Beyond aesthetics, we cover essential practical advice about shopping timelines (ideally start a year before your wedding), price expectations ($1,500-$3,500 at Bella Bride Boutique), and why your dress should be one of your first wedding planning decisions. Alexandra explains how your gown creates a domino effect, influencing everything from bridesmaid dresses to floral choices to hair and makeup.Perhaps most importantly, Alexandra challenges the notion that your venue should dictate your dress style. Whether you're getting married in a courthouse or a cathedral, on a beach or in a ballroom, you deserve to wear whatever makes you feel most beautiful. After all, you're still the bride, and it's still your special day.Follow @bellabrideboutique on Instagram to see their latest inventory and learn about upcoming trunk shows and sample sales where you can find your dream dress at a dream price.Send us a textSupport the showIf you enjoyed this episode, hit that subscribe button and drop us a review!
