For the Bride:
1. Know Your Body Type
- Hourglass: Choose mermaid or trumpet styles that accentuate your curves.
- Pear: A-line dresses balance the hips and emphasize the waist.
- Apple: Empire waist or ball gowns can create a more balanced silhouette.
- Rectangle: Look for dresses with added volume, like ball gowns, to create curves.
2. Consider the Venue and Season
- Beach Wedding: Lightweight fabrics like chiffon or organza; consider shorter hemlines.
- Formal Indoor: Satin, silk, and lace are ideal for a classic and elegant look.
- Winter Wedding: Long sleeves, thicker fabrics, and layered skirts can provide warmth and style.
3. Color and Fabric
- Traditional White: Timeless and classic.
- Ivory or Champagne: Adds a touch of vintage elegance.
- Fabric Choices: Satin for a sleek look, lace for romance, tulle for volume, and chiffon for flow.
4. Dress Shopping Tips
- Start Early: Begin shopping at least 6-9 months before the wedding.
- Set a Budget: Include costs for alterations, accessories, and undergarments.
- Bring Trusted Opinions: Limit your entourage to a few close friends or family members.
- Be Open-Minded: Try on different styles to see what flatters you most.
5. Accessories and Undergarments
- Veils and Headpieces: Choose based on the formality and style of your dress.
- Jewelry: Less is more; select pieces that complement your dress without overpowering it.
- Shoes: Prioritize comfort, especially if you’ll be on your feet all day.
- Undergarments: Proper fitting bras and shapewear can enhance your silhouette.
For the Groom:
1. Suit vs. Tuxedo
- Suit: Versatile and appropriate for most weddings.
- Tuxedo: Best for formal or black-tie events; features satin lapels and stripes on the trousers.
2. Fit and Tailoring
- Tailored Fit: Ensures a sleek and polished look. Invest in alterations for the best fit.
- Shoulders and Length: The jacket should fit snugly at the shoulders and the sleeves should end at the wrist bone.
3. Color and Fabric
- Classic Black or Navy: Timeless and versatile.
- Gray or Tan: Great for daytime or less formal weddings.
- Fabric Choices: Wool blends for comfort and durability, lighter fabrics for warm-weather weddings.
4. Shirt and Accessories
- Shirt: Crisp white or light-colored dress shirt; consider a pleated front for formal attire.
- Tie or Bowtie: Match with the wedding theme; solid colors or subtle patterns are classic.
- Cufflinks and Pocket Squares: Add a personal touch and elevate the look.
- Shoes: Polished dress shoes; black for darker suits, brown for lighter suits.
5. Coordinating with the Bride
- Complementary Colors: Ensure your suit color complements the bride’s dress and the wedding color scheme.
- Boutonniere: Should match the bride’s bouquet for a cohesive look.
General Tips:
- Comfort is Key: Both the bride and groom should feel comfortable and confident in their attire.
- Weather Considerations: Plan for the weather; have a backup plan for rain or extreme temperatures.
- Cultural Traditions: Incorporate any cultural or religious dress requirements or preferences.
By following these tips, both the bride and groom can ensure they look and feel their best on their special day.
