Some brides are more nervous about the physical act of walking down the aisle, with every friend and family member watching their every step, than the prospect of promising to combine their life with another till death do they part. However, if you are not only looking forward to becoming the center of attention all day and night on your wedding day, but this is the fundamental reason why you are having a big wedding in the first place, then this article is for you.
Here is how to stand out with your wedding dress, accessories, and bridal decor on your big day.Think Outside of the Wedding Cake Box
These days, even though traditional, all-white wedding cakes in a three-tier formation with an ornate depiction of the bride and groom are still popular and, indeed, are usually the designs featured in wedding magazines, if you want your cake to be just as much as a spectacle as yourself on your wedding day, then think outside the box.
Alternatives to the traditional, white wedding cake design include, amongst a barrage of others, the following:
- A tower of delicious fruit tarts
- Naked cakes with no fondant or frosting
- A three-tier cake made entirely from cheese
- Individual cupcakes with personalized wedding iced designs
- Jelly and ice-cream with all the trimmings
Choose an Asymmetrical Neckline for Your Wedding Dress
If you were to speak to fashion experts, both lead designers and general public members, as to what the more flattering neckline is, especially in thicker and more ornate fabrics, you would find the vast majority would answer ‘asymmetrical’.
An excellent example of a leading designer who produces absolutely gorgeous and eye-catching pieces is Ronald Joyce wedding dresses, who will be more than happy to spend as much time as you need choosing the right length and cut of asymmetrical wedding dress to ensure your look and feel like a princess.
Build Your Confidence Ready for Your Big Day
Despite what every single television program featuring excited brides who have brought along their whole entire entourage to choose their wedding dress would have you believe, the truth is that you should only buy a wedding dress because you love it and you feel confident, not because you loved ones tell you should.
If you are particularly self-conscious and even suffer from bouts of low self-esteem, yet still want to shine bright on your wedding day and turn into a beautiful butterfly, keep the dress plain and make your accessories and shoes grab the attention instead.
Hire Professional Hairdressers and Makeup Artists
Finally, unless you yourself have an extensive and well-read background in all things hair and make-up, do not risk it when it comes to the finishing touches on your wedding day.
Hire a professional hairdresser to style your hair before you change into your wedding dress, and crucially, make sure you have a trial ahead of time, with the same applying to your make-up too.
