If I was having a wedding dress, I'd make an appointment at Mirror Mirror in Crouch End, North London, and get loads of ideas.

You need to go to a wedding shop and try on all the different styles. That way you can see what looks good.
Just been with my sister ( lots of trips actually) and once she decided that she deffo wanted a fishtail she just looked for those types.
Have you got any appointments booked?

Not yet..silly I know but even as a mum of three the 'Weding Dress Shop' seems too intimdatingly grownup and what 'ladies' do...

Oh you should def book some.

The ones we went to were very friendly. They want your money!
We did some locally and some in London. Make a day of it and have lunch etc.

You really can't tell what they'll look like till you try them on. You may think a particular shape is right for you then change your mind when its on. And vice versa for styles you didn't think you'd like.

Berkatex Brides had loads of different stlyes.

Eek, lace up bags are naffo imo.
The plainer the better for me - less is more, as they say.

Definitely agree with others - go out and try on and try on adn try on. Often people end up with something they really wouldn't ahve thought they'd like just looking at the hanger.
