How to dress as a bride depends on personal taste, location and time of the event. The following tips will guide the bride-to-be in choosing the appropriate attire.
Determine location and time of wedding. A church wedding may require more modest attire while a destination wedding could have something a bit more fashionable.
Determine personal clothing tastes. Some brides are more modest and desire modest attire. Other brides prefer to wear fashionable garments while others lean towards classic lines. Read bridal magazines, pattern catalogs and other sources to determine what is available
Consider the age of the bride. Younger brides may choose to wear a full length dress while a more mature bride may select an elegant suit.
Choose the fabric and design according to the season. Christmas brides could wear richer, more elaborate fabrics while summer brides may lean towards lighter, simpler designs.
Dress for the time of day. Daytime weddings typically have simpler styles while evening weddings are more elaborate.

If your bridal gown fabric and lining are polyester, you should easily be able to clean your own wedding dress by hand-washing it. Wet cleaning will often clean your gown better than dry-cleaning because dry-cleaning solvents do not remove water based substances including perspiration and most food spills.
Step:
The first thing you need to do is a make a thorough inspection of your dress. Look over the dress for any stains. What does the stain consist of? Make sure you have the cleaning supplies you will need. Take a good look at the hemline. Unless you lifted your skirt, and carried your train everywhere you went on your wedding day, your train will be dirty. Wedding dress trains are like great, big, dry mops that clean the floors of churches and reception centers!
Keeping the body of the dress out of the water, soak the dirty hem in a clean bathtub using warm, sudsy water for a couple of hours if possible. Next, working your way around the dress, use a toothbrush and the liquid detergent to “massage” the hemline clean. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously on lace or trims. Be sure to clean the underside of the hem as well. Check the dress lining/s for dirt as well. Clean the hem of all layers very well. Rinse the hem thoroughly when you are completed.
Turn the dress bodice inside out and spray the lining of the bodice area (the part that fits on your upper body) with the soap and water solution. Use the toothbrush and the detergent to clean perspiration stains. Next clean the skirt lining. If your dress has many layers of lining in the skirt, be sure to look over all of them and clean all the stains you find.
Look over the outside of the dress very carefully and spot clean any stains you might find. Spray the spot with a sudsy spray solution first. Use the toothbrush if necessary but be very gentle. Just “massage” the fabric. Add the liquid detergent straight if needed Be particularly careful of laces and trims.
If soap and water do not remove the stains, mix up a solution of Oxy Clean® and place the stained area in the solution to soak until the stain disappears. Do not use chlorine bleach, such as Clorox, as it leaves a film that is very difficult to remove.
When you are satisfied with the cleaning of your dress, fill the bathtub with warm water and place the whole dress carefully in the tub. Swish the dress around in the water as soaps from the cleaning process are rinsed out. Let the water drain and then fill the tub again and repeat the process. Follow this procedure several times until the water is very clear without any soap bubbles. We recommend three rinses at least. It is critical to get all soap and cleaning solutions rinsed out of the dress.
The dress should be “line” dried, but not by hanging it on a hanger. The weight of the wet dress could damage the dress. One way to line dry it safely is by placing a fold-up drying rack (vinyl coated) in the bathtub, and hanging the dress over it. Do not place the dress on bare wood. Place the dress so the weight is equally distributed over the rack. Another way to do this would be to place a clean towel over a shower enclosure, and then place the dress over the towel. If you do this, be sure to place some towels on the floor underneath the dripping dress to protect the floor.
After the dress has dried for several hours and the bulk of the water has dripped away, it may be possible to hang the dress to finish drying it. Carefully spread any layers of tulle in the skirt or lining and smooth out all wrinkles in the dress as much as possible. This will make the pressing process easier.
You may choose to have a dry-cleaner steam your dress, or you may press it yourself. If you press it yourself, we recommend that you first wash and dry your ironing board cover to remove any dirt, starch, or sizing. Spread a clean sheet on the floor of your working area to protect the dress as you press it. It is best if you use a clean press cloth of white cotton sheeting or muslin unless you are using a brand new or freshly cleaned iron. It is a rare iron that is clean enough to press a wedding dress without risk.
Where possible, press the dress from the inside. If you have a thick, cushy, ironing board cover the sequins and beads can press into it. Be sure your iron’s heat is set at the proper temperature. Start at a low temperature, and increase it gradually. If it starts to stick, reduce the heart immediately. Start at the back and bottom of the train until you feel comfortable with the pressing. Take your time and use caution. When it is finished you are ready to preserve your gown.
Tips:
Hand pressing nylon tulle can be difficult. Tulle is usually nylon, which melts very easily. You can press tulle at very low temperatures with a pressing cloth, but you would need to be extra cautious.
If your gown is polyester organza or tulle, consider spot cleaning only. Many polyester organza and tulle fabrics lose their crispness after any kind of cleaning.
If you think your gown will need to be professionally pressed after cleaning, call around and get a price for the job first. Some dry-cleaners charge nearly as much for steaming and pressing as they do for the whole job.
If your goal is to save money by cleaning the dress yourself, make sure you will save money before doing it.
You can also preserve your wedding gown yourself. Use museum quality preservation supplies which you can find at a number of online resources. Heritage Garment Preservation offers two different preservation options: hanging and boxed. They sell Do-it-yourself supplies at: http://www.heritagegown.com/catalog.php
Warnings:
Professional dry-cleaning is recommended for silk fabrics. Silks can be wet cleaned but require experienced cleaners as silk damages easily.

Spray bottle filled with warm, sudsy soap and water

Step 1: Keep an Open Mind
Unless you make a habit of wearing extravagant frocks you probably won’t know which shape suits you best. Many brides end up wearing something they would never have picked out in a shop but which looks amazing on, so allow plenty of time and don’t be afraid to try on several different styles. Take someone with you whose advice you trust!
——————————————————————————–
Step 2: Dress Shapes
There are six basic traditional wedding dress shapes:
Sheath dresses are simple, close-fitting and usually unstructured. Most come in soft, flowing fabrics like georgette and crepe. These are definitely best for tall slim brides.
An A-Line or Princess shape dress has fitted vertical seams running from the shoulders down to a flared skirt, which creates an “A” shape. It’s best for brides with small waists and those wanting to hide broad hips and large thighs.
An empire line dress has a high waistline and a seam just underneath the bust.It’s best for small busted brides and it makes petite brides look taller.
The traditional ball gown wedding dress has a fitted bodice and a floor-length skirt, and usually suits a more formal setting such as a church. This style of dress is best for brides with slim waistlines, and is great for hiding full hips.
A mermaid or fishtail dress is a narrow fitted dress with a flared hem. This style is great for making petite brides look taller; and if you’re tall and slim, it’ll give you curves.

Step 3: Remember comfort!
When you’ve found the style that suits your body shape best, make sure that you can move around in it easily and sit and stand in it with comfort. And watch out for unsightly bulges which appear when you sit down! If you’re thorough, you’ll find that perfect dress for your special day.
