What is your wedding day style? Is it traditional, contemporary, eclectic? Are you quirky, elegant, modern? Whatever your style is, express it! Fortunately with today’s weddings you can have fun, be whimsical, and be your own bride!
First: you’ve found the guy; you’ve found the dress, but you really want your bridal look to scream YOU/ME! Consider the following suggestions for your bridal style on your wedding day.
Personalize it: Have your initials and your wedding day monogrammed into your gown or your veil. Who knows? This might start a family tradition. Making the embroidery blue give you that “something blue”. Now you don’t have to rely on that standard blue garter.
Surprise Everyone! Add a fun layer of fabric under your gown. You can go to a local seamstress and have the fabric sewn on the inside of the gown. This is a way to add a little color and fun into your gown. The underlying fabric can be your wedding colors. If your gown isn’t full enough, consider having crinoline added and dyed to your favorite color. What a perfect photo op this will make!
Your Shoes: No more plain ivory or white heels for today’s bride. Here’s where you can add fun and color. If your wedding colors are purple, have purple shoes. If this year’s pantone color of the year, radiant orchid is also the color of your wedding, have shoes dyed radiant orchid. The shoe fun doesn’t stop here. From cowboy boots, to bridal sandals, to running shoes, brides are finding shoes that appeal to them, and express their personality. Have fun with this one, and make sure you get shoes you can wear over and over again and that are comfortable!
Not just white or ivory: Who says you have to wear a white or ivory wedding gown? If your favorite color is pink, then wear a pink gown. If you are having trouble finding your gown in your favorite color, try a sash or belt in that color. Your options are endless. Have fun! This is your wedding. Bring your sense of style into your wedding and into your gown!
