How to Make Your Bridal Look a Little More Unique
Often when it’s time for a bride to select her wedding day look, she’s poured over countless photos of real brides for inspiration. So, it’s not uncommon for a bride to express to us a concern about looking “unique” on her wedding day. We love when a bride wants to add an unexpected, personal touch to her bridal look. These types of elements aren’t for everyone…which is exactly what makes them so perfect! Here are a few ways you can add an element of individuality to your bridal look.
overskirt
A detachable overskirt always adds an unexpected dose of drama, and it’s perfect for the bride who can’t decide between a fitted silhouette or voluminous ballgown.
gloves
Gloves are not for everyone, which is why they make the perfect unexpected addition to your bridal look - if and only if they are true to your personal style. Satin gloves are classic and elegant, while tulle gloves, both plain and embellished, offer a fresh addition to your look.
detachable sleeves
Nothing encapsulates “the best of both worlds” quite like detachable sleeves. A sleeve on a bridal gown is always a unique element, but when you reveal that they are completely detachable, a memorable moment is born. We most commonly suggest wearing a detachable sleeve for the ceremony, and removing before your entrance into your reception.
Statement veil
A statement veil is always a clever way to add a dose of personal style to your look. A veil itself is inherently classic, so there’s room within that traditional look to add some whimsey and personality. We love a veil with three dimensional florals, colorful embroidery, or even feathers if the mood strikes you. The options are literally endless, and are completely removable throughout your day…so you’ll have photos without the bold statement as well.
What’s important when styling your bridal look is ensuring that there are elements of you and your unique personality expressed within your look. It can be very easy to play it too safe when selecting your wedding day attire, thus resulting in an overall look that could be worn by…well…anybody. Don’t be afraid to get creative and have fun with your look. It’s those unique elements that will have you looking back on your wedding photos with fondness and fun, we promise :)
