If you are recently engaged or plan to be soon, congratulations! Being a bride to be is a very exciting time in anyone’s life, but with that can come a bit of stress. Planning a wedding is more complicated than you may have realized because there are so many different things to think about. Since what to wear is one of the things many brides care the most about, here are 5 fashion tips for brides to be.
Showcase Your Ring
Though traditionally you already have an engagement ring on your wedding day and just add a wedding band to it, showcasing your ring on this special day is important! Make sure to have it professionally cleaned before the wedding, as well as sized by a jeweler so that it fits perfectly. You may also opt to have your nails done (or do them yourself) so that you feel comfortable having pictures taken of your ring and nothing else on your hand distracts from it.
You Don’t Have To Wear White
Though the vast majority of brides still wear white to their weddings, there are really no rules that you are required to stick to when it comes to wedding attire. If you would prefer a black dress, a red dress, or something that isn’t even a dress at all, that’s fine too! We are whatever makes you feel comfortable and happy. It’s your day after all.
Don’t Let Jewelry Steal The Show
One common mistake many brides make is wearing large or flashy jewelry that ends up detracting from their dress, or being the whole focal point of their look. If this just so happens to be your personal style, that’s great. However, if you want your dress to be the main thing your wedding guests are looking at, try to keep everything else about your look understated and simple.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
One thing a lot of brides fail to think too much about is their choice of footwear on their wedding day. When you choose your shoes, it’s important to consider comfort as well as style. If you have to wear heels because of the length of your dress or because you want them to look a certain way in photos, make sure to bring an extra pair of more sensible shoes that you can walk (or dance) around in!
You Can Do Your Own Hair And Makeup
Although many brides pay to have their hair and makeup done, you shouldn’t feel obligated to do this – especially if it’s not in your budget. It’s totally possible to do it on your own. Just look at inspiration photos online and do some research about what types of products to use. At the end of the day, whether hiring a hairdresser and makeup artist is a part of your plan or you opt to do these things yourself, you’ll look your very best as long as you are happy.
Deciding how to style yourself on your wedding day can be challenging, so hopefully these tips help!
