Based on these guidelines you can start building your look! If a dress code has not been defined by the spouses (in that case it is mandatory to follow it to the letter), try not to fix your attention on a particular type of dress and choose instead based on the context and the single occasion, to find the most suitable outfit by choosing from the many alternatives available to you.

 

For example, if the wedding will be held in the evening in an urban-chic style , it is better to opt for a long dress in dark shades combined with an elegant shoulder wrap and bright accessories; if, on the other hand, the ceremony is carried out during the day in a bucolic setting then the best choice is to wear a light, comfortable and romantic dress in pastel colors.

Knowing how to dose all the elements creating an elegant and modern visual balance .

 

Have you chosen a dress with colorful prints ? We recommend combining it with monochromatic and inconspicuous accessories, which fit into the total look as a natural completion of the dress.

Is your dress simple and in pastel shades ? In this case you can feel free to play with accessories, choosing original elements that can become the protagonists of your look.

 

Remember that soft colors require metallic, black or nude accessories that break the monochromatism by bringing a touch of light or color to the wholeuntil it becomes the element that characterizes the entire outfit. The bright colors, on the other hand, need to coordinate with simpler and more neutral accessories , which are only an outline with respect to the great protagonist: the dress.

 

Hairstyle and make-up 

Even the hairstyle and make-up must be chosen according to the ceremony but they must also be perfectly matched to the chosen dress . In general, weddings require natural make-up in nude shades , with a touch of color on the eyes or lips dictated by the time of day when the wedding is held: if they take place during the day you can color your eyes with a light eyeshadow matched to the color of the dress, on the other hand, if they are celebrated in the evening hours, you can define the lips with a more decisive shade of lipstick .

 

The hairstyle must be natural but neat , you can focus on an elegant styling to wear with your hair down but if you love to collect your hair there are many simple and refined solutions to choose from: a romantic side braid, a modern ponytail or a classic chignon are just some of the alternatives available to you but always remember not to overdo it with accessories and originality because the bride must always be the center of attention!
