So you have made it to the wedding planning stage,
congratulations! Now that you have set a date you need to start getting
everything together that you will need for the big day. You need to take it
in steps so that you won’t be overwhelmed; you know eat the elephant one
bite at a time!
Some of the things you need to plan are what kind of
dress, make up, your hairstyle, what kind of jewelry, and other things that
you want included in your special day. There are lots of helpful resources
available to help you with the planning stage of your wedding, especially
online, plus you can pick up some wedding and bridal magazines.
When you are choosing a wedding dress don’t just choose it
because it looks pretty on the model. Your wedding dress should be something
that you really like, but it should also go with your body type as well.
Choose a wedding dress that accentuates the positive aspects and minimizes
any negatives. Look at a lot of different styles before making a choice.
Take a friend along, or better yet make it a fun event and take several
friends or your sisters and go make a day of it.
When you find a dress you
like, try it on and make sure it isn’t too tight. You want it to fit well
and still be comfortable and be able to move around so that you will be able
to dance and have fun at the reception afterwards!
After you have chosen a dress that you are happy with you
have to find a pair of shoes that will look good with it. If you are going
with the traditional look of a white wedding dress then you will want some
sort of white shoe. The exact type of shoe is a personal preference. You can
choose everything from a shoe that is like a ballet slipper to sandals, to a
pump. I do recommend however that if you are very tall, not to wear a heel.
The length of the dress you have chosen will have a lot to do with the
decision of shoes as well.
Now that you have covered the main parts of your wedding
day wardrobe, you may want to add some customization to your apparel to
personalize it a bit. One excellent way of doing this is by accessorizing
with jewelry. The jewelry should accentuate your wedding dress and not draw
attention away from it as the dress should be the focal point. A nice
necklace and earrings and possibly something woven into your hair will do
nicely. Remember not to wear any rings at all other than your wedding ring
that you will receive on your big day.
