The producer and creator of the American entertainment show Fashion Police, which analyzes the looks of the red carpet celebrities, Raquel Kelley, told the Huffington Post her main advice on what not to do when looking for the big day dress. Check out:
1 ? Don't believe everything you see on television
Movies, soap operas and even TV shows often show the choice of dress as an event that needs a lot of drama and excitement. In the American show Say Yes to the Dress? (In English, say yes to the dress), the brides cry, scream, tantrum, take, the mother, the mother-in-law and even the groom for the choice and some even take cousins, sisters and aunts.
However, this does not correspond with the reality of most real-life brides. The timing of choosing involves analyzing many aspects of the dresses, various tests, and the help of only a few close people, such as a godmother and the bride's mother. Bringing a lot of people on the day of choice or days, will only disturb, after all no dress will please everyone and you will be nervous and indecisive.
And don't worry if you don't cry or have a fit of emotion when choosing your dress, what matters is that you feel good about it, not all brides cry or get too thrilled to choose.
2 ? Take your time
Wanting to buy the dress as soon as you get engaged can be a temptation, but it can also be a recipe for regret. Imagine you are getting married in 1 year and you already bought the dress. In half a year, a new collection comes up and the collection of yours goes into liquidation. In this case, in addition to losing the chance of a good discount, you may fall in love with a dress from the new collection of the same designer who did what you bought and regret having rushed to buy.
However, it is not recommended to leave it to the last minute, because the choice is not fast and often it is necessary to make several adjustments and try the dress countless times until it looks perfect on your body. So put anxiety aside, schedule yourself and do it all calmly, with time and planning.
3? Do not stand still during the race
When you're trying on dresses in the store, don't just look at the dress in front of the mirror, standing still or just posing. Walk, jump, sit, squat, anyway? move. Make moves that you will make on the big day.
Try to hug and greet someone. Simulate your activity on your wedding day so you will know if the dress is comfortable and allows you to move around freely and if it doesn't fall or pinch you at any point. This test of movement with the dress is essential to avoid inconvenience on the day of the ceremony.
4? Do not forget that you will take pictures with this dress
Few stores will allow you to take photos with the dresses you are trying on, but if you allow them, take photos with and without flash from various angles. By doing so, you will be able to analyze if the dress will look good in the photo and if you will like how it looks with the photos.
Dresses with fabrics such as taffeta and silk can look very bright in flash photos, so it is important to consider this when choosing and having the work of a good professional who will know how to photograph your dress without the flash? your dress.
5? Do not forget that the groom exists
We know that traditionally the choice of dress is exclusive to the bride and the groom cannot see the dress until the wedding day. However, he may also have his preferences and want to give his opinion at least on the style of the dress without even seeing it. If you consider it important to include his opinion when choosing, be sure to think that you are breaking a rule, as this is completely acceptable. Talk and decide together about the dress if you think it's convenient.
