Wedding planning is not only a hectic process but also extremely time-consuming. And the bride is the central part of any wedding. We asked Adina Brunetti, who has experience working on dozens of weddings over the last few years. She and her team are known for providing catering, decoration, and event planning services for luxury weddings in Miami and South Florida. As Adina is known not only for her business side but also as a woman with perfect taste in fashion and understanding of the latest trends, we prepared her tips for new brides to be.
Adina Brunetti: “It’s start with choosing a dress for the bride and a suit for the groom. Since one of the most important starting points in the overall design and style of a wedding is the image of a couple, the style of the dress is chosen at the very beginning of the journey. In addition, it is important to understand what style suits you: mermaid, ball gown, a-line. Therefore, the help of a stylist will be very appropriate. A professional will help you determine the perfect version of the finished dress for you or, due to the growing popularity of handmade wedding dresses, will provide invaluable assistance in choosing a dress model and details when sewing it”.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to buying a ready-made dress. On the one hand, after looking at the websites of well-known and little-known but creative wedding dress designers, you can identify a dozen of your favorites and try them on in the salons where they are presented. You will immediately have an understanding of what is yours and what is not. The disadvantage is that the model you like may not be in your city. So you will be faced with a choice: order it without trying it on through an online store (which is very risky), continue your search further, or sew something similar.
“Your dress doesn’t have to be very expensive, but you should make it look like it’s worth a million,” – says Adina. “If you can’t afford the dress you like, consider a less expensive option. Much more expensive than the rest are complexly tailored dresses with metal or plastic inserts in the bodice, with a corset, beading, and glass beads or lacing.”
Do not forget to include in your budget the cost of fitting the dress to the figure and accessories: from hair ornaments to veils and shoes. Always make sure that the embellishments on the dress are sewn on and not glued on. If it is beads, sequins, or pearls, they should be attached one by one and not a whole thread. The zippers should always be hidden, and the lining should be of good quality because if it is polyester, you will want to jump out of the dress soon after the celebration begins.
Most haute couture brands tailor the dresses to the measurements of the bride. It may take more than one month to work. The more complex your idea, the earlier you need to go to the salon. As a result, you get an outfit that fits perfectly on your figure.
Adina Brunetti: “If you ask me what type of constitution suits which style the most, I will answer that in my opinion, there is no standard advice in this area. Having emphasized the best parts of yourself, do not focus on the rest. Any dress can be changed according to your desire so that the outfit becomes perfect for you.”
It doesn’t sound very romantic, but when choosing a salon and attire for a wedding, you first need to start with the budget for the dress. Having decided, pay attention to the collections presented in the salon. Do not be afraid to experiment and try on unusual images for yourself. Very often, brides leave with dresses that they didn’t even want to look at at first.
Adina Brunetti: “Jewelry for a wedding look should be quite modest, not pretentious. Wear only engagement and wedding rings on your fingers. The sheen of a dainty pair of earrings or an elegant hairpiece will set off your hair and face.”
The main principle when choosing Jewelry is to maintain harmony: if the dress is embroidered with beads and decorated entirely, choose simple Jewelry – pearls, modestly framed diamonds.
Adina Brunetti: “A makeup artist is one of the most important people for a bride on her wedding day. It is he who helps to achieve the perfect appearance, creating flawless makeup and hair. In order to choose the right stylist, you need to understand which image is most suitable and combined with the dress, bouquet, and overall style of the celebration.
However, even with the most daring decision in the color and style of the wedding, you should not make your face heavier with bright and multi-layered makeup, as this contradicts the light, innocent look that has forever been fixed in the image of the bride.”
It is very important to time your morning preparation so that everything happens on time and there is no panic and rush. Plan at least two hours for the work of a stylist provided that he comes to your home.
