After You Get Your Wedding Dress
After getting your perfect wedding dress, you have other decisions to make.
1. What about your headpiece and veil? The sales staff should be able to assist you in choosing a headpiece that goes with your dress. Veils come in several lengths and styles, and again the staff can help you decide which is best for you.
The veil you choose for your wedding depends on the dress you have chosen. If you are wearing a street length casual style dress you wouldn’t choose a cathedral or chapel veil, both of which trail the floor. By the same token you wouldn’t wear a flyaway veil, which barely brushes the shoulders, with a formal dress with a train.
2. Don’t forget you need to get the right lingerie, shoes and jewelry, to go with your beautiful wedding dress.
3. Before we leave the bridal store, there is one more detail to attend to – bridesmaids dresses. When choosing these dresses, you need to take into consideration the ages, complexions, and body types of your attendants. Fortunately today’s bridesmaid gowns are no longer the cookie cutter dresses all in the same color, which nobody would ever wear again.
Some options for wedding bridesmaid dresses are to choose a color and fabric suitable for all of the women and let each of them pick a style that she is comfortable with. Or you can choose a simple a-line or empire waist dress that flatters all figures, and let the girls choose the from a color family. If you do choose to have all attendants wear the same dress, they can personalize the look with small beaded purses, scarves, jewelry or shawls. Be aware that the colors and your bridesmaid’s wear have to complement.
