How to choose a unique wedding dress?
These days, to-be-weds spend so much time personalizing their weddings and trying to find really unique big-day details that it does seem reasonable to freak if another couple chooses the same wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, favors or flowers or food. Before you decide to arm-wrestle for it, let us suggest a different way of dealing.
If someone else steals one of your ideas, you’ll probably hear a lot of imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it will be at your wedding, not theirs, so it’ll be totally different. Whether these statements are true or not (they are), they’re probably not going to make you feel better — but neither will stewing over it. Instead of worrying about someone else’s wedding looking the same as yours, think about how you can make the copied detail different.
If a friend chooses the same wedding dress as you, add details to make your perfect wedding dress unique: Accessorize with a brooch, add a sash, and accent the train with some embroidery (you get the idea). Has someone else swiped your fun favor idea? Find a way you can package yours to set them apart.
And if you’re really that worried about copycats, here’s a thought — just keep mum. If you don’t divulge every last big-day detail, you won’t have to worry about your bride friends snatching them.
Yes, I have a unique wedding dress and I was the only outstanding bride all over the world.
