Bridal Secrets unlocked: 7 Tips to Help You Look Glam and Feel Super Comfortable on Your D-Day.



A wedding day is one of the most special occasion in a lady’s life. It’s crucial that she looks and feels comfortable to make the best of this day.
So, how exactly can you look hot while being comfortable on your D-Day? This, ladies is the billion-dollar question.
 For utter comfort and glam during this special day, the choice of your attire must be guided by the formality of your wedding, the season and your body shape among other important things.

1. The gown should flatter your best features and camouflage your problem areas.

For a dress as important as a wedding gown, comfort should always be a priority. Comfort in a gown dictates that the gown should be the right fit, appropriate silhouette that will flatter your best features and camouflage the problem areas, appropriate length, optimum weight, and quality fabric.
Whichever silhouette you favor, check your gown for practicality as you consider the activities of the day. A gown with a long tail and delicate fabric will be easy to maneuver with in a ball room set up, but not a garden wedding.
Before you settle for the dress, kindly note that the best gowns are impeccably finished and not only look, but feel as good on the inside as on the outside.

 2.  Headpiece should be well secured and suit the formality of the occasion.

Whatever headpiece you choose, it should be flattering, feel secure and complement your wedding gown and the degree of formality of the occasion. A crown of fresh flowers will be appropriate for an informal countryside ceremony and will perfectly blend with a timeless, windswept chiffon gown while a clever fascinator will blend perfectly in a ballroom setup.

3. Accessories should be subtle.

Accessories add up to the finishing touches of an outfit and a bridal gown is no exception. Ideally, less is always more when it comes to accessories. Too many accessories or loud ones may wash out the beauty of the gown and consequently weigh you down. Delicate pearls and precious stones are a bride’s favorite when it comes to accessories due to their ease and timeless elegance.

4. Hair should be ‘natural’ and well secured.

Do ensure that your hair is as ‘natural’ as possible during your wedding day and not brand new- this is not the time to experience with a new hair-cut or hair colour. You can achieve this by making any hair changes prior to your wedding day. As tempting as it may seem, a drastic hair change is high-risk and may leave you feeling uncomfortable on your wedding day.
Don’t forget to do your hair rehearsal well before the D-day. Unless your hair is short, opt for a hair-up during this day- you’ll immediately look more elegant and with just a touch of hair spray, you’ll be able to forget about your hair throughout the day.


5. Shoes should be comfy and blend with the formality of the occasion.

Your shoes should be comfortable, stylish and suit your wedding formality. Look for shoes that cut a good balance with your gown in terms of design and delicacy. High heels can be tedious when worn to a garden wedding. If your wedding is outdoors, wear chic flats that will not sink to the ground. In case you opt for heels, a back-up pair of shoes with a lower heel is essential.
To avoid the usual brand-new-shoe-pinch kind of discomfort, ensure that you wear your shoes around the home prior to the wedding day.

6. Your skin should look natural and immaculate.

Before you evaluate your make-up needs, you’ll want your complexion to look at its best. The best skin care preparation a bride can have is a consistent skin care regime well before the D-Day. This includes frequent facials, massages, cleansing, scrubbing, moisturizing, drinking lots pf water, healthy diet and exercise.
For your big day, opt for subtle bridal make up if you must. Too much make-up may make you look too gaudy and out of place.

7. Undergarments should be alluring and comfortable.

Lingerie and underpinnings should be utterly sumptuous and comfortable. Sumptuous because the wedding day is followed by the wedding night, and comfortable because it will be very disheartening if the most alluring undergarment is constricting.
Don’t forget this key basic undergarments; A comfortable corset with a lux fabric and a healthy petticoat (especially if you’ll opt for a ball gown with a voluminous skirt)

There we go! The basic tips that will guarantee you effortless elegance and ease on your wedding day.
