Want to look amazing on your wedding day,
well these tips are here to make it a reality – take a look and see for
yourself.
1.
Choose The Right Undergarments
The undergarments you choose can really
change the way your dress will look on you. Unless your dress covers most of
your shoulders, you are going to need to find a good strapless bra or at a bra
with clear straps. I lost weight for my wedding and found it helpful to have my
measurements professionally taken before shopping for undergarments. I tried
the dress I had picked before losing weight and found that my bust did not look
like I expected it to. It turned out that my bra was a cup too small and was
too loose around my waist. I tried the dress again after a few adjustments were
made and was happy with the result.
2.
Keep Your Make-Up Simple
Getting ready for a wedding can make you
feel extremely aware of your appearance. The circles under your eyes that would
usually be barely noticeable seem hard to ignore. You might feel that the
fluorescent lighting is making your make-up hard to notice. Keep your make-up
simple when meeting with your consultant and do overdo it on the day of your
wedding. Stay away from self-tanner since this product can damage your dress.
Wear your hair like you want to have it on your wedding so your consultant can
help you create the right look. There are some good tips here on bridal makeup.
3.
Don't Say Yes To Everything Your Consultant Says
Your consultant will present different
options and needs you to give them your honest opinion. My consultant Andrea
pointed out that I was complimenting every dress she was suggesting. She
reminded me that she didn't design the dresses and that I wouldn't hurt her
feelings by saying that I didn't like a dress. I adopted a more critical
attitude and turned down some of the choices she was presenting me with,
including the Lazaro dress you can see above. I eventually found the perfect dress
with her help. I found that working with a consultant was really helpful since
she knew what looked good on me and what didn't.
4.
Wear The Dress Outside Of The Dressing Room
My consultant Andrea helped me put the
dress I had chosen and the veil on so I could wear them outside of the dressing
room. I walked around the store before heading to the entrance where my dad was
waiting. Seeing his stunned look was an incredible experience and it made me
confident that I had found the right dress. I knew I loved the dress when I
first saw it but this reaction is what helped me solidify my decision. Wear the
dress for a while, walk, sit down and dance to make sure it is comfortable and
looks good from every angle.
5.
Trying Dresses On Can Be Draining
Wedding gowns are heavy and getting in and
out of them takes time and can be draining. I found myself looking forward to
taking a nap after trying several dresses. I had spent hours making plans for
my wedding before trying on dresses, including which venue I wanted, what kind
of pictures I wanted and what kind of music should be played. Everything I had
written down on paper came to life once I saw myself in my dress. I started
crying and I am usually not the type to easily shed tears. I have a good friend
who cannot watch a romantic movie without crying and yet she did not have that
kind of reaction when she found her wedding dress. Everyone has a different
experience with the wedding planning process but you should be ready in case
this is an emotional moment for you. I was really impressed by these beautiful
dresses from Teokath Bridal ofLondon.
6.
Try On The Dress Your Mom Likes
Your mom has been looking forward to your
wedding for years, and she is probably just as excited as you are at the
prospect of going to a bridal store to try on some dresses. If she recommends
that you try on a dress, oblige her. You might find that you were right about
lace not being the right choice for you, or you might find that your mom's
choice is actually a great fit!
7.
Ask About Discounts
Some stores will give you a discount if you
buy your wedding gown along with some dresses for your bridesmaids or a mother
of the bride dress. If you go to a trunk show where entire collections from
designers are showcased, you can usually get between 10 and 15% if you buy a
gown at the show. If you see a dress that you love but cannot try it or buy it
right away, ask if they can give you the discount anyway.
