wedding dress

 What to wear, the BIG picture

For both brides and grooms, there are so many factors to consider when deciding what to wear on your wedding day. Think about your own style and personality, your colourings, your budget, your figure type, the setting, the weather, your families' expectations and traditions….all of these factors are extremely important and need to be looked at before you try on your first wedding gown.

But there is also another angle that is worth considering - the overall "look" and "image" that you want to project on your wedding day. Set up a theme that will run consistently throughout the day, from the bridal party fashions, to the wedding ceremony, the wedding flowers, the wedding décor, the music, the food and the overall atmosphere.

Professional wedding planners /co-ordinators can be employed to assist you in this task, but with a bit of imagination, you and your partner can create a theme that will reflect your tastes and personalities and result in a unique wedding which will linger in the memories of your wedding guests forever!

Sit down with your partner and write a list of words that pop into your mind when you think about your wedding. Perhaps you could both write separate lists, then compare them and find the words that match up, the key ideas that you both share… this is a fun way to find a common thread which will lead you to your theme.

Once you and your partner set the scene or mood of your wedding, choosing your wedding outfits will suddenly seem so much easier … just ask yourself if that wedding gown or that tailored suit will fit into the theme. Try to visit a variety of wedding dress boutiques and try on as many different styles as you can, to help you decide on colour and shape. Once you narrow down your possibilities, or at least decide what you DON'T like, the real search can begin! Remember that the best wedding dress suppliers tend to be booked out for months in advance, so get in early to avoid disappointment!

Set a budget for each your wedding dress and your fiancés suit, and stick to it as much as possible. Most importantly, you must feel comfortable with your selection - don't choose something that does not suit your own personal style, otherwise you will appear awkward and will not look yourself on the big day.

Make sure you and your partner decide on your own outfits first, before choosing what your wedding attendants will wear. Everything revolves around the two of you, and don't you forget it! When thinking about your bridesmaids, remember that long full length dresses and "up" hair-do's will always look much more formal than shorter hemlines and wearing the hair out.
