The Bride’s Dress
One of the most important things a bride will do before her wedding is choose her
wedding dress. There are several options for the bride, she could buy a dress from any
wedding designer/retailer. Some retail shops also offer the option to hire. The other
option is to have your own design made up. If you are having a dress made ensure that you
leave plenty of time to buy the material, have it made and have any alterations made to
it.The Bridesmaids' Dresses
Most brides tend to choose a colour scheme for their wedding. The colours chosen would
appear in the flowers, at the reception in the form of balloons, napkins and sometimes
even the cake.

The bridesmaids dresses could also follow this colour scheme. If you
have both older attendants and little attendants it can sometimes look better to alter the
shape and style of the dress to suit the age of the person wearing it.
Groom/Best Man/Father of the Bride & Ushers
It is not a necessity for all the men to hire the same suits. However if the bride wishes
for the colour scheme to be included in the men’s outfits it can be achieved by
hiring or buying waistcoats and cravats or ties in the chosen colour scheme.
Headdresses
Headdresses vary with each bride. Some like to wear a veil, others prefer flowers or a
head piece such as a tiara. Whatever you choose it is a good idea to practice wearing it
so you are confident that it will not fall off and it is not going to be uncomfortable
throughout the day. Also, it sounds obvious, but think about the style you are going to
have your hair in before you buy a headdress. For the best examples try here
Jewellery
This will obviously depend on the bride’s outfit. Try several pieces of jewellery and
ask friends or relatives for their opinions. You should also look through bridal magazines
to get ideas from them. The only jewellery which you must remember to buy are the wedding
rings. Don’t leave this to the last minute because if you find ones that you like but
they don’t have in your size, it may take a couple of weeks to order them.
Going Away Outfits
If the bride and groom are going away that night or the next day, a going-away outfit may
be required Remember if you are spending a long time travelling in a confined space make
sure that whatever you choose will be comfortable.

Lingerie
As with the jewellery this will depend on the bride’s outfit. There are many places
where you can buy beautiful lingerie and obviously as it is your wedding day you may want
to splash out and spend a little bit more than you would do normally. When you have
purchased your underwear try it on with your outfit to ensure you that it complements the
line of your dress. (See feature page)
