Then there’s the matter of the dress—one of the most important decisions a bride will ever make. Informal surveys reveal that what people look forward to the most at a wedding is to see the bride’s dress! Case in point: Meghan
Markle’s wedding gown was the subject of global interest, with thousands of articles dedicated to it on the internet. And observe, when one goes to a wedding, phone cameras will be at the ready to take pictures of the bride and groom when they make their appearance. There will definitely be unedited pictures from the wedding popping up on social media, of which you have no control, so it’s crucial to wear a piece that best suits you on your special day.
