No bride wants to look back on their wedding day photos and regret what they wore or even worse, feel like their style didn’t stand the test of time. Wedding dresses are now closely trailing to the hottest runway shows. There are so many things you need to take into consideration to look and feel amazing on one of the most important days of your life. After all, a dress suited for a beachy July wedding is going to be completely different than the one you would choose for a wedding on an autumn afternoon. Here are some expert wedding-style hacks to help you look stunning when you walk down the aisle.
The for-real comfort heel
Choosing the right shoes is one of the most important tasks if you wish to look amazing and to be able to dance all night long without feeling any pain in your feet. Surprisingly as it may be, heels can, in fact, be comfortable. Shoes should feel like a beautiful final touch to your dream bridal look but it doesn’t necessarily mean that bridal should always be white. You can have fun with colors and textures and choose something like glittery gold or silver. Also, you should consider the ground you will be walking on for both the ceremony and the reception party because, for example, stilettos may not be the best choice for an outdoor or beach wedding. Whatever style or color you choose, make sure you wear the shoes beforehand because the last thing any bride would want to be doing during the reception is suffering through those break-in blisters.
Consider an outfit change
One of the hottest wedding-style trends is changing dresses from the ceremony to the reception. Yet, it does not necessarily mean that it is the only way to revamp your look during the party without changing your outfit completely. Some brides love their wedding gown so much that they want to wear it for as long as possible. So, an outfit change can also be a removable caplet which can create one look during the ceremony and later turned into a fun off-the-shoulder look for the reception party. Also, you can let your hair down if you wore it up for the ceremony because it will give your look a totally different vibe. There are so many creative ways to switch up your look throughout the whole day. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and stylish at the same time.
Choose the right amount of accessories
Obviously, your engagement and wedding rings are the stars of the show during your wedding, but how about bringing a fine touch to your look with some stylish long silver earrings? It can be the right amount of glitz that your look needs because less is always more. You don’t need shiny accessories to make your wedding look glow, simple accessories can be exactly what your bridal gown may need to shine during your wedding party. Accessories add a unique touch to your look but one too many or too big can be downright distracting. Wedding-style experts also advise brides to avoid large earrings since their faces will be the focus in most of the photos and large earrings may be too overpowering in that area.
Makeup matters
Remember that your hair and makeup can play a vital role in the way you look on your big day. Your wedding day is likely to be the most photographed day of your life so your bridal beauty should be high on your priorities list too. Professional makeup artists say that a trial is an absolute must because you will have the opportunity to try out different looks and refine one that suits you the best. Whether you are planning to play it safe with a neutral palette of rosy pinks and dusky browns or embrace brighter colors, your lips and eyes should be highlighted to stand out in your photos. Makeup artists claim that they always advise even the most fashionista brides to choose a makeup style that is a reflection of their personal style to feel more like themselves and confident in their look. You don’t want to not look like yourself but rather a flawless version of yourself. A full smokey eye or a flick liner and red lips will just feel uncomfortable if you are a nudes kind of girl and your wedding day isn’t quite the best time to take risks.
Bridesmaids need to look good too
Almost a decade ago, there was a popular joke saying that a bride should choose ugly dresses for her bridesmaids on purpose to ensure they don’t outshine her. Yet, today, the trend is quite the opposite and your bridesmaids should look amazing too. You bridesmaids need to feel comfortable in what they are wearing or they will simply not have a good time at your wedding. Plus, if they don’t look and feel at their best, it will definitely show in your wedding pictures. It may be easy to think of yourself as the dictator off bridal party fashion when you are the bride, but don’t let yourself go there and remember that what your bridesmaids should wear should be a conversation, not just an assignment.
Feel beautiful on your big day
The main objective of any bride should be to feel beautiful on their wedding day. Despite the latest trends and the mismatching opinions of your friends and relatives about the bridal gown you should choose, it is important to choose what makes you feel happy and confident about your look. It is a very common thing for brides to overlook the comfort aspects of their wedding look, but you have to remember that you will wear the same outfit the whole day long. So, don’t just go with trends and choose what you think you should look like, instead choose things that you feel comfortable with and create the outfit that you like.
