But
deciding on even the starting implements can be hard to do. Thankfully, if you
keep our advice in mind, you should be able to take care of this no problem at
all. Consider:
One Or Two Primary Colors
One or two primary colors
is a great way to ensure that everyone in your bridal procession can easily fit
with your theme. Of course, you’ll likely be choosing the bridesmaid dresses
and the page boy suits or at least the color schemes they follow. Giving
everyone the chance to accessorize easily, even if it’s just a rose in the same
color, can help them all look cohesive and beautiful walking down the aisle with
you. Consider what color you might enjoy wearing most, which one has the best
meaning for you. While different colors might mean different things, all that
matters is how you respond to seeing them.
For
example, if you’ve both lived in a property with its famous bright orange door,
a place you cherish and intend to live in for the next years of your life, a
bright orange accessory might work well when crafting your outfits. While many
people try to find the items that make them look best, or that they can afford,
sometimes finding the right item for you means finding something personal, no
matter what other people say. People might find theming yourself in the same
colors as your favorite soccer team quite a distasteful thing to do, but if you
and your partner share a love for the club and it makes you happy, who is to
say you’re wrong for doing that?
Fun
Accessories
Fun
accessories can help bring your wedding to the next level, giving that sense of
levity and comfort you might really wish to adopt. Tiaras, fun flower
adornments, and even different forms of adornment such as a beautiful collar bar can switch up the pace
for the usual crafting of outfits that people expect at a wedding. You might
consider the bridal gown to be the most serious of outfits at the wedding, with
no room for anything of levity or joy. But wearing a brooch that your mother
used to wear, or a respectful heirloom of your fathers, or something that both
signifies love and that uplifting feeling of mutual care can truly give you a
sense of presence, of wonder and of calm.
Personal Context
Formal
accessories, and perhaps alternatives to your normal dress, are worth
considering. You might decide to wear something more relevant to your culture,
such as scottish kilts for your wedding, or a traditional piece of clothing as
a compliment to your main outfit. There is no reason why you need to follow the
suit/dress formula either. You might both turn up in suits, and vice versa. You
might even decide to wear more casual gear. You might decide to enjoy a better,
more down to Earth and grounded ceremony in which thousands on suits and
dresses isn’t needed to declare your love for one another.
Formality
is what you make of it, and what the situation requires. If you’re getting
married on a boat, a dress with a ten foot train might not be appropriate, for
example. Consider how the tradition or change in proceedings might contribute
to how you dress, and never feel pressured to follow down a certain path just
because your family values tradition. Conversely, never feel afraid of
following strict tradition just because your friends suggest they might not
want to do that. Your wedding is your wedding. Once again, your wedding is your
wedding, so it’s important to do everything you can to make this day perfect
for you, your betrothed alone.
