Find the Perfect Wedding Dress for Your Special Day

Buying a wedding dress can be tricky. A wedding dress is far more than just a piece of clothing, it represents every bride-to-be's vision for the future. At Zapaka, whether you're looking for a romantic ball gown wedding dress, an ethereal A-line wedding dress, or a chic mermaid wedding dress, you will got it. We've compiled some of our best tips and tricks for narrowing down your bridal gown selections. It’s your big day, so make sure to have fun and never settle.

When Should I Order My Wedding Dress Online?

The short answer is: the sooner, the better, so that you can have time for alterations (no matter how or where you purchase). More specifically, brides should order their looks six to nine months before the big day, depending on the time of year. Ideally, start looking 9-12 months in advance to allow time for alterations. Bridesmaids should order six months in advance at least. When ordering, be sure to look at the size chart specifically created for the designer of your choice. If possible, get yourself professionally measured before choosing the size.

Find the Perfect Wedding Dress

Dress shopping starts with the silhouette. One of the most popular styles is the ball gown wedding dress, which has a full skirt, fitted bodice and a cinched waist. This style will define your waist and highlight your bust. If you’re looking to create a little extra curve, try corset bridal gowns to give your style even more drama. Plus size wedding dress collections are available, however nearly all Zapaka wedding gowns and dresses can be custom fit for all sizes.

If you’re looking to elongate your figure, a tea-length gown is just the ticket. This design has a tapered skirt that flares out above the knee, to lengthen their figure. Also, an empire waist gown can also create the illusion of longer legs.

If you’re a fan of clean lines, modest dresses will give you a chic minimalist style that you’ll love. The straight cut adds even more length to your figure. If you’re looking to highlight your hips, there are two fabulous cuts you should try: the trumpet style, which is fitted below the knee, and drop waist style dresses, which shows off your waist and hip area. The most coveted of all silhouettes is the A-line. The fitted bodice will showcase your waist to perfection and the skirt will flow softly in an A-shape from your hips. This classic look makes this a classic go-to cut for ball gowns.

For dresses color, if you want nothing like other brides, choose the unconventional color. You can try the black wedding dress for a bolder and edgier touch.
