Every bride gets nervous before her big day arrives.
For some brides the mere thought of walking up the aisle in front of dozens or perhaps even hundreds of people, with all eyes on her and how she looks in her dress, is enough to bring on the nerves.
So what can you do if your big day is approaching and you are worried the nerves will become too much? Here are some tips to ensure you can relax and enjoy that very special day.
Know your size and shape This is one of the most important things to remember, as all wedding dress designers will tell you.
You may love the gown the Duchess of Cambridge was married in, but it doesn't mean it will look equally as good on you.
You must find a design that suits you, that you like, and which makes you feel confident inside.
It should accentuate all your best assets and play down the things you're not as happy about.
Seek the advice of professional wedding dress designers and understand how to ensure what type of dress will look best for your body.
This alone will give you plenty of confidence when you come to wear it on your wedding day.
Consider paying for a bespoke design It's worth remembering that an off the peg design is just that - a design that is made to suit a certain type of woman, rather than an individual.
If you end up trying on a range of gowns and you fail to find anything that works for you, consider looking up a few wedding dress designers to see whether any one of them could work some magic for you.
Be open to the ideas wedding dress designers have to share with you as well.
Remember, while you get the final say on the design, they have created dresses for many women before you.
Be open to their expertise and suggestions - any one of them could be the right one for you.
Practice looking confident before the big day This might sound strange, but if you don't look confident you won't feel confident either.
Remember to stand tall and push your shoulders back a little.
Take some deeper breaths and hold your head high.
Smiling (which you should be doing on your wedding day anyway!) will make you feel better too.
Spend a few moments each day practicing this on your own, and you'll find it comes more naturally to you on the actual day.
In the end it is a question of making sure you feel your absolute best on the day you get married.
A big part of getting that right is choosing the right dress as this will help you feel confident and beautiful when you finally walk down the aisle.
