Wedding Dress services for your big day!
On the wedding day we want to look stunning in our dress, so the advice we always give is to start looking for the wedding dress several months before the event, so that we can choose the one we fall in love with and that fits us perfectly. The dress of our dreams is not always the one we later choose, sometimes because it does not fit our body, other times because once worn it disappoints us. Then the search begins…
There are so many types of dresses: princess, mermaid, short, boho… and the list could go on. The most important thing is to feel good in your dress: it will represent our personality and the evening will be full of movement, between greetings, photos and dancing.
HOW TO CHOOSE A WEDDING DRESS?
The most common advice is to start looking for the dress at least 8/9 months before the event, but actually it should be done as soon as we feel ready. Clearly, the earlier we start, the more time we have to choose and decide. For the fitting, we can bring loved ones, as many as we want, because ateliers are used to it and no one will be upset even if we show up with 10 people. We don’t bring people we feel we “have to bring,” otherwise the choice will be conditional and inauthentic. Don’t be in a hurry: we dedicate time to ourselves, and choosing a wedding dress takes a lot of time, also because the one we think is perfect is not always the one that in the end makes our heart flutter. For this reason, let’s rely on the atelier that will let us try on even dresses that we would NEVER have thought of wearing, but that in the end, perhaps, could fit us divinely!
Let’s set a budget and declare it to the atelier: it will be easier for them to show us the dresses that fit our budget, and we won’t feel frustrated if we have to wear a dress we love but can’t have.
There are several considerations that let us know if the dress we choose is really the right one:
My biggest suggestion for every bride is to pay attention to the bodice: in fact, the upper part of the dress is the most delicate: it should allow every movement to the bride, as if it were a second skin. As for the skirt, on the other hand, we can play with the width that we like best: from the very wide princess skirt to the mermaid skirt, which is more swathing.
There are so many accessories to choose from: from the Swarowsky tiara, to the belts matching the dress that can be taken off and put back on, to the smooth or decorated veil, short, long or very long, to the hair decorations or hat, to the gloves… again it will be our personality that will make the best choice. Last but not least, the shoes. There are brides who adore very high heels, but also those who like to get married in sneakers or Texan boots. We look forward to helping you choose your dress together with the ateliers we collaborate with, who are very attentive to every aspect and will find solutions for every bride’s dreams.
Whether it excites us
The dress must make our heart beat faster. The first ones to be excited must be ourselves.
Be yourself
If it represents ourselves. We don't have to go to a play.
How do you feel
If we feel beautiful, in fact beautiful. Being a dress that we wear for the first time, on such an important day, it will have to make us feel great.
Tradition indicates that the bride on the wedding day should wear 5 things:
- An old thing - Means the past, the life before the wedding.
The bride will wear her own thing from the past (a hair clip, jewelry...) to start the new life
- A new thing - Means the new path about to begin, with new joys, new challenges and new changes (can be the dress)
- A lent thing - Usually a friend or loved one lends an object, to signify that loved ones will always be close and supportive even in the new life (a good luck charm to be sewn to the dress)
- A Gifted Thing - Means the affection of the people who love and cherish us (the garter, a pair of earrings, or a necklace)
- A Blue Thing - It signifies sincerity. Usually this color will be the color or a detail of the garter the bride wears.
At the end of the party there are still 2 traditions to observe:
The bouquet toss and the garter toss
The bouquet toss: The bride gathers the unmarried guests, and turning her back, tosses the bouquet backwards. Tradition says that whoever manages to catch it will be the next to get married, or at least, the first to receive the request for marriage.
Garter toss: This toss is less known, as it is sometimes embarrassing, therefore omitted of the bride and groom. If instead, you want to do it, the bride and groom gather the bachelor guests and the groom should remove the garter from the bride with his teeth (if this embarrasses, one can put the garter just above the knee so as not to uncover too much and not to cause embarrassment). Once the garter is slipped off, the bride will toss it. As with the bouquet, the guy who catches the garter will be the next groom.
The request to be a bridesmaid is an honor, a joy and a responsibility: in fact, the bridesmaid will be a support for the wedding preparations and the one who will organize a bridal shower.
They range from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 8 bridesmaids (above 8 and up to a maximum of 12, they are found in royal weddings).
Originally they wore long formal gowns, but now various solutions can be adopted. If we have a daytime wedding, we can also choose a short dress, while for an evening wedding, a long, elegant dress is preferable.
Excluding white and black, all colors are perfect, as long as the bridesmaids feel comfortable. Since they are different people, perhaps with different colors and physical characteristics, some assessments will have to be made.
The most difficult choice, because some may not feel comfortable if we have different physicalities.
The easiest choice as the color remains the one chosen but each bridesmaid can choose the dress that fits her best.
The best choice for the bridesmaids' freedom. However, to make them "part of the team", they can have a corsage or bouquet. The bridesmaids' bouquet is smaller than the bride's and is given by the bride as a thank you for their closeness and support, and should echo the style of the bride's bouquet. The alternative to the bouquet, is the corsage: a bracelet with the flowers as the bride's bouquet.
