Weddings should be flawless. This is the idealism that brides coming from many eras and cultures have been keeping in mind; the reason why a year or at least six months before the big day, everything should be prepared in a very detailed manner. If you are the bride coming of age, knowing what to do in order to avoid a total catastrophe during your wedding day is a must. Why is this important?
Well, no one wants to come anywhere near a Bridezilla and come out scathed, right? You also want to be your wedding day as the most relaxing, hassle-free and well-coordinated day of your life. You want to be the bride who is free of fuss and worries on that day. The wedding dress, as enchanting as it might appear to be, is also as cunning as a monkey waiting to leap over you and mess up with your composure if it has not been given the proper attention it needs.
Treat your bridal gown as your baby; the only piece of gem you should treasure until the last minute of your wedding preparations. You cannot just jump into the wedding aisle without remembering how essential it is to be acquainted with your whole wedding ensemble. Therefore, it is advisable for any bride-to-be’s out there to familiarize themselves with the wedding dress preparations. This will lead you to tip number one.
Know What You Want!
What has been the type of wedding dress you have been dreaming of in all those years ? Is it a sophisticated and long classic wedding dress made of flowing bridal chiffon? Or would you rather strut down the aisle with a taffeta ball gown with a long trail to complete off that fairytale-themed wedding of yours? Conceptualize whatever you have in mind and consult it to your tailor so she/he can give you fitting suggestions on what type of cuts fit you and what colors suit you best.
Know Your Wedding’s Theme
Not all weddings are designed to be similar to one another. Here is the US, for example, there are people who get wedded at different circumstances for cultural or religious reasons. Usually, it is the bride’s decision to pick a dress which will suit the propriety of the occasion. If it is a wedding ceremony which is expected to be solemn and conservative, it is more suitable for the bride to pick a dress which is not to bold for the audience. She can choose a floor-length wedding dress with a neckline that is not too daring to look at. One can still be lovely in an old-fashioned way. Same goes with a wedding that is unconventional. If you have, for example, a Vegas-inspired wedding or anything else which is not too formal, a knee-length wedding dress topped off with a white hat with the alternative of a wedding veil should rock the event just enough and will give the bride a laid-back vibe.
Know Your Budget’s Capacity
It happens. Bride-to-be’s are often tempted to max out their credit cards for a very special wedding because why not? However, an expensive dress might be the trigger for you and your spouse’s financial suicide post-wedding. You don’t want to be in a long list of debt, do you? Your guests will no more be able to distinguish a Vivienne Westwood or a Dior creation from that of a $100 gown once you are already heading to the altar. Either you will have to accessorize well or pick a dress which suits your frame. Invest in an excellent makeup artist who will help to bring out the blooming bride in you. It is all about creativity and knowing what to further accentuate on your features. Who says looking your best requires thousands of bucks?
