Most brides have a vision of what their perfect dress should look like and, thanks to apps like Pinterest and Instagram, are usually teeming with ideas before the first meeting with their bridal stylist. But the reality might be a bit different.
"Sometimes [clients] don't stop to think about or ask if that is the best style for their body type, their venue, the type of wedding that they're having, the season, or the time of year," Risatti told Insider.
"So if a [client] comes in with pictures and wants this heavy satin ball gown and isn't getting married in August, that's probably not a great idea, or you're going to be super hot."
Your best bet is to ask the stylist for his or her recommendation. Then it's up to you to decide which of those is best for you.
