How to pick the right wedding dress?

The time has finally come for you to splurge on the wedding dress of your dreams. The special day is only a few moments away so let the hunt begin. 

Why is picking the ultimate wedding dress important? During your wedding day, you will be the center of attention. Pictures will make this special moment last a lifetime. Wearing a dress you feel comfortable in and that suits you is mandatory. Our team of wedding planners layout all their tips in order to pick the right wedding dress.

For a season a specific dress

A few elements will influence the choice of your wedding dress model. For starters, the season in which you are getting married. The length, the material and the design will vary whether it’s a summer wedding or a winter wedding.  

For a destination wedding, if in a warm country, light material and wide shapes are preferable. This will make it easier for you to handle the heat. We recommend  choosing airy and soft materials such as cotton, silk or organza.

On the other hand, for a winter wedding, opt for a dress with “noble” and warm fabrics such as satin or velvet, with embroidered or lace embellishments. A winter wedding allows you to personalize your wedding outfit with chic and elegant accessories such as: a pair of gloves, floppy hat or bolero!

Take into consideration your wedding venue

The choice of the dress must be harmonious with the venue and the wedding theme. If you have chosen to get married by the sea, you can opt for a light, flowing dress, and if you are getting married in a masseria in southern Italy, a bohemian style dress with a veil and transparent fabric will be more appropriate. If you have chosen an Italian castle as your wedding venue, a more structured lace dress will fit perfectly with the decoration and the theme of your wedding. Finally, if your wedding location is Tuscany, in a sublime villa overlooking the Italian valley, a sleek satin dress will fit perfectly into this dolce vita atmosphere.

Choose a dress that makes you look good

It’s not enough to fall for a dress model, it’s also important that it shows you off to your best advantage. To choose the model that best suits your figure, it is essential to identify your physical assets: chest size, hip size, leg length… So many criterias need to be taken into account when choosing your wedding dress. Mermaid shapes and V-necklines are generally more suitable for slim and long figures while very fluid dresses and princess shapes are more suitable for brides with generous shapes. If you have a fair skin tone, it’s best to avoid an ivory dress that might lack luminosity.

Wear a dress that looks like you

Choosing a wedding dress is above all a personal choice. It is not enough to be accompanied by your loved ones for the fittings. Only your heart’s desire will allow you to make the right choice. The wedding day is often accompanied by a good dose of stress: the pressure of the big day, the fear of having forgotten something, or the anxiety of the unexpected are the main reasons. Also, no need to choose eccentricity to distinguish yourself from your guests, at the risk of feeling uncomfortable.

Indeed, the choice of the dress can be a source of stress especially if this one does not fit your style or if you feel self conscious in it. Just be yourself, pick a wedding dress that fits you like a glove! That’s why wedding planners are mandatory in order to enjoy your wedding day. Delegating the organization and coordination of the wedding to a team of experts allows you to relieve yourself of this extra pressure.
