Aaaagggghhhhhh!!!!! And I still don't think thats a big enough aagh! Ive just started shopping for my wedding dress and I couldnt be more stressed - I thought it was suppose to be the best time of your life?

How hard can it be I thought! Do I want ballgown, a line, hoops, bones? Eh??? I have no idea what I want I just want to look nice! The choice is absolutely overwhelming and I don't know where to start.

I have now visited 2 shops for fittings and try ons. I have tried around 10 dresses on and think 1 looks ok. I have another 5 dress shops to visit and already my head is spinning.

From my very limited experience so far I have some tips....

* Wear nice underwear!!!! They need to help you in and out of dresses, granny knickers with holes in just won't do!
* Take a friend or family member with a camera - after trying on so many dresses they tend to turn into a blur after a while.
* If you already have your wedding underwear or shoes take them with you to try on with the dress.
* Don't feel pressured into buying anything straight away. It is an expensive and (hopefully) once in a lifetime purchase - take your time.

Overall I think I will grow to enjoy the experience but I need to do a few more shops first!

Summary: like marmite - you either love it or hate it
