Your wedding dress should be more than beautiful — it should be unforgettable. From understanding your body shape to selecting the perfect fabric and silhouette, discover expert tips to help you find the gown that reflects your personality and vision.
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life — and your bridal gown should reflect the beauty, confidence, and magic of that moment. At Elan Fashion, we believe choosing the right dress isn’t about rules — it’s about finding your perfect expression.
Here are our expert tips to help you choose a gown that makes you feel unforgettable:
- Start With Your Vision — Not Trends
Before you scroll through Instagram or follow bridal trends, pause and ask yourself: What do I want to feel like on my wedding day?
Romantic? Regal? Minimalist? Cultural? Let your emotions and personality lead the way — the right dress will follow.
- Think About Your Venue and Ceremony Style
Your location plays a big role in your gown choice. A formal ballroom may call for a dramatic silhouette, while a beach or garden wedding may inspire a light and flowing look. A traditional Nigerian ceremony? Think Aso Oke or lace with rich embellishments. Match your gown to the moment.
- Know Your Body, Embrace Your Shape
The perfect dress fits you, not the other way around. At Elan Fashion, our bespoke process is all about honouring your natural shape. Whether you’re curvy, petite, tall, or plus-size, there’s a silhouette that will flatter and celebrate you beautifully.
- Choose Fabrics That Speak to You
Lace, satin, silk, tulle, Aso Oke — each fabric tells a story. Consider how the material moves, feels, and photographs. Our stylists will guide you through the options and help you find the one that suits your theme, skin tone, and personal style.
- Trust the Process — and the Experts
Choosing a custom gown is a journey, not a rush. Give yourself time for fittings, adjustments, and emotional clarity. Our team is here to guide you through every step with love, patience, and attention to detail.
- Don’t Forget the Details
Your gown is the centrepiece, but don’t overlook the veil, jewellery, shoes, and hair. Each element should complement your look, not compete with it. We’ll help you tie everything together for a seamless, elegant finish.
