I was watching "SAY YES TO THE DRESS" today! (Yes I watch wedding shows, and usually laugh or feel the planners pain!!! ha ha)

Today I felt the bride's pain! Her mom HATED every dress she tried on! In a different segment, the bride brought several people with her -- her mom, her future mother-in-law, sisters, girlfriends, Oh My God, there about 15 people....None of them liked the same dress, they tore this poor bride apart till she was sobbing!

I cannot tell you the number of times this has happened to me. I have accompanied brides to find their perfect dress.....besides me, they brought several people.....and chaos is always inevitable!

One bride loved a gown so much, and her mother went as far as to tell her that if she insisted on buying that particular dress, she was not attending the wedding.

As you can guess, she bought the dress of her mother's dreams and was very unhappy!

I can't tell you sad that makes me. Your dress is one of the most important purchases you will make for your wedding day.

I believe that if you are not happy with the way you look, even if everyone else loves the look, you will not feel beautiful and confident! Every time you look at your pictures for years to come, you will regret listening to everyone but YOURSELF!

I have put together a little guideline for you that may make gown shopping a little easier for you:

1. DO NOT bring a lot of people with you. Just bring a couple of people that will support you and not push their ideas on you. Someone who will be objective and supportive.

2. DO NOT venture out of your comfort zone on your wedding day. You want to look like yourself when you look in the mirror!! If you are not use to wearing low cut tops or strapless dresses, don't buy a low cut or strapless gown!

3. MOST IMPORTANT --- Follow your HEART and you will look FABULOUS on your wedding day!
