Elements to Keep in Mind Before Choosing a Wedding Dress
When planning a wedding, one of the most exciting things for a bride is finding the perfect wedding dress. You will go through a period of looking at dress, after dress, and having so many options, dress shops, materials, and styles make that decision even harder. Before you get overwhelmed and wonder which dress is the perfect one for you, consider these elements that make your decision-making process a lot easier.
Length
There’s enough to think about during your big day and the last thing you want to be is distracted because you’re uncomfortable or getting caught up in your dress train. Some occasions even call for a short and sassy dress. Many brides change into a second dress so they can dance the night away freely and comfortably. You can also spice things up and even wear a white jumpsuit for your reception.
Fabrics
Whether you’re having a glamourous wedding or a rustic-chic wedding your fabric selection sets the overall tone for your day. Some fabrics are also better suited for certain climates than others.
Venue/Location
Think about the location you’re holding your wedding. Tying the knot in a hot and humid climate? You want to look for a dress made from a light and airy material like chiffon to help keep you cool. If you’re getting married in a cold climate, you might want to consider a heavier fabric or a bolero.
Color
When it comes to choosing the color of your wedding dress sometimes the options are far and wide depending on how open you are to color. While white is the traditional color for wedding dresses, you don’t need to feel limited to this color! Ivory, blush, or even champagne shades. If you want to keep people on their toes you could do a jewel-toned dress for your boho wedding or an all-black or red dress for your rock n roll Wedding. Just keep in mind what color goes well with your skin tone and the overall aesthetic of your wedding.
Your wedding dress is one of the most important pieces of clothing you will ever wear, so choosing wisely is important. With all these elements in mind you are on the right track to finding the most special dress of your life!
