How to perfect your wedding day look

Your wedding day is meant to be one of the happiest days of your life, so it’s only natural that you need to look your best. That means every aspect of your outfit needs to be perfect, from your dress to your hair, makeup, and accessories. 

But planning a wedding is incredibly stressful, so here are a few tips you can follow to perfect your wedding day look. 

Choosing the right wedding dress for you

On your wedding day, you want all eyes to be on you, so you need to find an option that suits a couple of different factors, including your personal style, body shape, and wedding theme. 

After all, if you’re going for a rustic, outdoor wedding, a puffy wedding dress with frills might look out of place, no matter how well it fits you. On the other hand, if you’re planning a beach wedding, you likely want something smaller and lighter to suit the intimate, relaxed atmosphere. 

Finally, it’s important to remember that your wedding dress is only the starting point, so all other elements of your outfit will be designed around it. 

Navigating jewellery and accessories

Once you have your wedding dress, you’ll need to choose accessories to match it. The style of accessory you choose will depend on your choice of dress. For instance, if your dress has a V-neck, you might want a delicate pendant. 

Of course, you need to consider other accessories, like earrings, veils, hairpieces, and gloves. If you’re going for an elegant, refined look, then you’ll definitely want to consider a pair of simple diamond earrings. This classic choice is ideal for adding a touch of sparkle without overpowering the dress. 

The perfect pair of shoes

While you want your shoes to be stylish, you need them to be comfortable. Weddings are long, and you’ll likely be wearing them throughout the day and night. To pick the perfect option, you’ll need to take your venue into account. For instance, while heels might be perfect in a traditional church wedding, flats are the better option for an outdoor venue. 

Ultimately, you do also need to consider the dress. A long dress may get caught, especially if you’re in heels. So don’t be afraid to tailor your outfit to something that will keep you both safe and comfortable. 

Hair, makeup, and the final review

The final piece you need to consider is your hair and makeup. While these can seem relatively minor compared to the other elements of your bridal outfit, they can make or break your final look. 

Ultimately, we recommend trying out different hair and makeup styles well in advance of your wedding to find something you are happy and comfortable with. You should also get your hair and makeup done while in your bridal outfit so you can judge the completed look. 

Organising trial sessions and sharing plans with your chosen stylists also means you can secure your desired look and know how long it’ll last. This is also ideal in case you need any touch-ups throughout the day.
