. . . you still need to think about shoes, veil, head covering and accessories. Shoes are especially important, so let’s start at the bottom!
SHOES
Above all bridal shoes need to be comfortable. You will be wearing them a long time. You will be standing in them for hours. You’ll probably have to dance in them. Comfort must be your prime consideration! Therefore, you don’t want the heels to high. You want them perfectly sized for your feet.
And of course, you want them to be attractive. That means they have to match your gown in style and color. If you have an old-fashioned lace gown, you don’t want modern patent shoes! Find a style that matches or complements your wedding gown. Color is also important. Make sure your shoes are white or ivory, or whatever the exact shade of your gown is. Find the right style and size first. The shoes can probably be dyed to match the dress.
Another thing to consider is the bridesmaids’ shoes. Many times you’ll want them to wear the same or very similar shoes but in a different color. You’ll also want about the same height heels in the bridesmaids’ shoes as in your own.
Break in your shoes by walking in them at home. This will add to the comfort level during the ceremony and reception. You’ll also want to bring them to every fitting for your gown. That way the hem of the gown and the size of your heels will perfectly complement each other.
HEADWEAR
Bridal millinery is important on several levels. First, it is what frames the bride’s face. As such, it appears all the wedding photos, and is often used to accentuate the bridal radiance. It forms the background of your most romantic wedding portraits, so you want it to look amazing and still be comfortable for the hours you’ll be wearing it.
The choices in bridal millinery are vast these days. It choosing the type for you consider your facial features and shape, the style of your gown (of course!), and the style in which you plan to wear your hair. All these should be complemented by your headwear, whether it is veil, hat, flowers, tiara, or some combination of these!
And you don’t always have to order it months in advance. A good milliner can work quickly given the materials you wish to be used. He or she can create a one-of-a-kind hat that will complement your gown and your face in every way, and it won’t be all that expensive.
ACCESSORIES
The key to choosing accessories has been revealed already – matching and comfort. Don’t go overboard on your jewelry. When in doubt, tone down. You don’t want to walk down the aisle having your friends, relatives, and soon-to-be in-laws awestruck over your jewelry! You are the center of attention, and it should complement, not overshadow, you. Many brides find it very special to wear a family heirloom or other piece of great sentimental value.
Think of everything, and make it all match – necklace, earrings, bracelet, etc. All should match each other and match or complement your gown.
Plan your day ahead of time so you’ll have nothing but love and fun to think of on your special day. Here’s wishing you the best!
