Before choosing the perfect designer wedding dress, brides-to-be should explore the many styles available. By carefully pairing a designer wedding dress with beautiful accessories, you can truly make your wedding day into one you will never forget.
Wedding Dresses
Perhaps more than any other detail of your wedding day, your wedding dress will make a lasting impression. Luckily, there are a multitude of cuts, styles and silhouettes to choose from—so much so, that it’s not uncommon for a bride to be to feel a little overwhelmed by all her options.
A good starting point is to consider the cut you want. Higher cuts, like the empire waist, for example, convey a traditional look. While lower waist cuts generally portray a modern or more playful look.
Next it’s time to think about the straps and neck line you would like for your gown. A strapless is a classic choice that can be made modern or classic depending on the other details of the gown.
Remember to try on as many gowns as possible. Even if you think a certain cut or style won’t work for you, give it a try. This is the best way to single out the shapes that do your figure justice. Bear in mind that the right dress will not only look great, but it will also feel great. Don’t leave comfort behind in your search for the ideal dress. Even the most stunning couture gown will look off if you’re uncomfortable the entire day.
Accessories
After you’ve tried on a multitude of gowns and have found the cut, color and style that you’re happy with, it’s time to finish off your look with the right accessories. Just like dresses, there is a wide array of accessories to choose from. From jewelry and veils, to hair pieces and shoes, the amount of accessories that you can incorporate into your wedding look is endless.
It’s important to be patient and try on plenty of different looks until you find what works best with your dress. While bold accessories can make a look all your own, it’s important not to go overboard and detract or distract from your dress. Think of your accessories as the supporting actors and your dress as the star.
Shawls
Many brides opt for shawls, particularly in fall or winter weddings. They’re available in a wide array of colors, patterns, textures and fabrics. Again, the key is to try on plenty of options until you find the look that fits your overall look.
Shoes
Whether you decide to wear designer shoes or simple ballet slippers, it is important to pick out your shoes early on in the wedding planning process. Wear your shoes around your house to break them in a bit. This way, you can avoid painful blisters or wobbly, uncertain steps on the big day.
Remember that you’ll be on your feet for hours at a time. So if you don’t normally wear sky high stilettos, choose a modest heel, or even a flat. There are plenty of designer shoes available that combine head turning detail and glamour with comfort and practicality.
Jewelry
The right wedding jewelry adds that perfect finishing sparkle to your ensemble. Many brides wear something traditional that’s been passed down for consecutive generations, but you can also pick out something brand new that reflects your own personal style. This is a great opportunity to play with color and add a pop of interest. Don’t overlook bright gemstones or flashy diamonds, but again, don’t go overboard with your jewelry. If you’re going bold, choose earrings, a necklace or a bracelet rather than all three.
Veils
Veils are the epitome of wedding tradition. But today, the symbolism has become antiquated and many women wear them as accessories. Whether you are staying traditional with a long, flowing veil, or leaning toward the modern with a short and sassy blusher, designer veils can be a central element of your wedding ensemble.
Hair Pieces
Hair pieces can also play up your beauty and style on the aisle. If you choose to wear something on the ornate side, it’s a good idea to take the hairpiece to your hairdresser before the morning of the wedding. Request a consultation and brainstorm ideas. A few practice runs can make your wedding morning much smoother and eliminate additional stress.
Pairing a designer dress and accessories can be a fun and creative experience. Remember to leave yourself plenty of time and keep an open mind. The more options you try on, the better your chances of finding your dream look.
