Marriage is a one-lifetime ceremony and accords fresh colours to your hope and new life as we all know, how Indian weddings are. You’ll find a wide range of diversity, full of fun and energy. You can see vivid cultural customs and colours. It is a ceremony where friends, relatives, and neighbours of the bride and groom unite and celebrate this sacred union.
And most importantly, it’s every womens’ dream day and is very precious to her. Every wish is fulfilled, from wearing fancy clothes to wearing heavy accessories and bridal makeup. And as on this day, every gaze is on the bride; it’s crucial to choose the right outfit, which could be difficult.
The wedding dress differs from heavily embellished lehengas, vibrant colours to modest wedding ensembles, giving an elegant and sophisticated vibe. This blog will cover all those factors you must consider while choosing the right dress for your wedding.
WEDDING SEASON
The first and foremost thing to keep in mind while choosing the perfect dress is the wedding season you will get married. For summer weddings, choose light-weight fabric such as chiffon, silk, or net. If it’s a winter wedding, choose a velvet ensemble.
LOCATION
The second thing to consider is the location in all the wedding extravaganza. Being a bride means your wedding dress will be the talk of the entire town. Your wedding dress must be in concurrence with the dress code, theme, and location. For a smart and elegant look, go for a saree. If you are looking for something girly and funky, go for a traditional style lehenga.
PERSONALITY
Weddings come with an ample amount of flattering options. And with a market with so many flooded options, it often becomes tricky and confusing while choosing the one. Therefore, the key to choosing the right outfit is by understanding your personality. Yes! You heard it right. Understand your complexion, the colours, design, and layout you love the most and can carry gracefully. Which category do you belong to? The “bold-feminine”, “classy-elegant”, or the “girly-chic” type? The dress is what represents your personality.
WEDDING STYLE
Is your wedding going to be outdoor or indoor, or will it be a grand or an intimate reception? These questions play an immense role while determining the perfect wedding outfit. You have every right to look the best, but ensure that the outfit is too dramatic and blends effortlessly with your wedding style.
BUDGET
Another major aspect that needs to be considered is the financial constraints. With a cheap price tag, you can’t dream of an extravagant custom-tailored hand-embroidered wedding lehenga or dress. Choose your dress, keeping the budget in the loop.
BODY TYPE
The petite: If you belong to the petite category, where you have very little or absolutely no fat on your body, you must look for an outfit that makes you appear a bit curvy. Avoid wearing satins and chiffons. It will make you look more skinny. Choose fabrics like Tussar silk or Jamdani. They’ll look very appealing. And as your waist is the most important part that needs to be accentuated, you can go for sarees. Explore various ways to experiment with your upper bodice, like choosing a backless neckline, tulles, embroidery, and much more.
The Hourglass: The perfect silhouette is the easiest and perfect shape amongst other body types. As the name itself suggests, you can go for a heavily beaded lehenga with lively colours. Lehengas, sarees, and dresses in golden or silver zari work and such intricate embroidery work will uplift your overall look.
The Busty: The finest option for plus size and healthy women is to go for a monotone fabric with a simple upper bodice. A round and V neckline with slight variations is just what you need in your blouse. Choose darker colours. And most importantly, prioritize your comfort first.
JEWELRY AND ACCESSORIES
We all have seen Indian weddings. And we also know how these ceremonies are flooded with chunky traditional jewellery and accessories. Believe us; the list is endless. Choose the design, layout, and colours that effortlessly blend with your outfit. Choose the accessories keeping in mind how your personality is.
HAIR AND MAKEUP
Pre-book your beautician for your appointment. Understand thoroughly with the professional your skin type and hair consistency. If you are going for smokey makeup, emphasis on your eyes, use nude shade lipstick. If you apply red or dark lipstick, choose subtle eye makeup. And no matter what you choose, always go for a no-makeup makeup look. If you are confused, come a bit early, and you can try various hair options. After all, you can’t afford to look any less than a queen.
