Wedding Dress, Styles and Tips

So you’ve picked the date and booked the venue for your big day. This in turn helps with picking the theme and/or colour scheme, for example, a beach wedding in the middle of summer calls for a light , bright colours as opposed to rich, darker tones for a lakeside autumn wedding. But how do you tie the dress and overall style into this? It’s easier than you think with these few simple tips to get you started.

Firstly, and most importantly, take into account your own personal style and what you feel comfortable in. Your wedding dress should be amazing but in its’ own unique way. If you favor a more casual, simple dress sense then the last thing you want to wear on one of the most important days of your life is a puffed up taffeta number just because that’s what your best friend likes and the sales assistant convinced you that it looked stunning. However, if a Cathedral length train with a diamante encrusted corset style bodice is more you and everyone agrees it matches your super-star smile and out-going personality then by all means, go for it!

Secondly, work with what you’ve got and enhance your natural features. If you are blessed with a small waist then emphasize it with a lace-up back and create a beautiful hour glass figure. One shouldered styles balance out a bigger bust, A-line skirts disguise larger hips and empire lines hide lumps and bumps with ease. Whatever your body shape there is a dress style and cut to suit. Likewise, when it comes to deciding on a hair style for your wedding day you should take the length, texture and colour into consideration. If you have long, gorgeous curls then embrace your crowning glory and wear your ringlets with pride. Although, with the ever increasing advancements in salons today there will always be products and tools to create the look you’re after, whether it’s embracing your natural wave or not. Your hair stylist will know plenty of tricks of the trade.

Last but not least, when it comes to completing your wedding attire style, accessorize. Pretty pearl earrings and a classic ivory court shoe could very well be your choice for understated elegance or perhaps a flashy diamond tiara is more your style? The traditional something old, new, borrowed and blue is also still a great way to accessorize too. With so many choices to suit all budgets you have many options!
