Being a Timeless Bride on Your Wedding Day

Choose a wedding dress that will last forever

How to be a timeless bride – choosing the right dress

How do you choose a wedding dress that looks amazing on you and that will stand the test of time? How do you know that you’ll look back through your wedding album in twenty or forty years and fall in love with your wedding dress all over again?

Look for a dress that loves you as much as you love it!

I had a lovely chat with Michelle Hinds from Cheshire’s Timeless Bride a few weeks ago. Michelle has built her business around the concept of loving your wedding dress for more than just the big day and she shared her expertise to help you find the perfect, timeless, wedding dress.

Top tips for finding a wedding dress you’ll love forever

Inside Timeless Bride, Cheshire wedding dress shop

• Getting that timeless look is about going with your personality, finding a dress that suits you, and notnecessarily following the most current fashions
• It’s about finding a dress that looks beautiful on you and won’t date – because it’s all about you in the dress, not just the dress itself


Timeless Bride - a magical bridal experience

• It’s about your grandchildren seeing your wedding photos and loving
  the beauty in them – imagine your wedding album in years to come. If you have a granddaughter, she’ll love your dress as much as you do!
• Michelle from Timeless Bride recommends choosing the shape of wedding
  dress that flatters you, and only then thinking about the details: crystals and beading, sashes and belts, folds and pleats in the fabric


Choose a dress shape that's right for you, then look at the details

• Choose a wedding dress that fits your wedding venue: what works for a bijou venue like Cheshire’s Belle Epoque won’t for Salford Cathedral
• Finding a dress you fall in love with will give you confidence and poise; if you feel amazing you will look stunning
• Enjoying the experience of choosing your dress will make all the
  difference: find a bridal store where you feel at home, with friendly and welcoming staff who will listen to you and offer advice in a nice way.

Naturally I recommend Timeless Bride as one of these bridal shops! Michelle is there to welcome you and help with your wedding dress search so if you’re in the north west she should be top of your list. With dresses from £600 you won’t break the bank either – and the fabulous experience at Timeless Bride is all part of the service.

Thanks to Michelle for these great tips. I hope you find them useful!
