Coordinating Your Wedding Dress And Decorations

When you plan your wedding, your wedding dress is likely to be one of the most important purchases you make. In fact, many brides start by choosing their wedding dress long before they even consider the venue where they want their wedding to take place. Though looking good on the altar is very important to the aesthetics of your big day,

the last thing you want to do is have mismatched designs and color schemes all over the place. If you are only thinking of one element when you start making your purchases, you may find it is difficult to coordinate things as the wedding theme starts to come together. Here are some tips to keep in mind so your wedding dress and decorations look fabulous together when your special day arrives.

Choose Modern or Vintage

The easiest way to keep everything looking like it was bought together is to come up with an overarching concept before you go shopping. One of the easiest things to do is to decide if you want a modern looking wedding or a vintage looking wedding because it will narrow your selections down by about half. If you want to go modern, you can buy a modern dress and modern decorations and the outcome will look much nicer than if they are mismatched. The same is true for vintage, and whatever you choose is a matter of personal taste.

Think About Style and Appearance

When choosing the right combination of wedding dress and decorations, you should think about the overall appearance you are trying to go for. Consider things like the activities you will be doing at your ceremony and reception and what type of pictures you are trying to get. If you’re going to run to the sparkler stand down the street and pick up a few items to use as props in your photos, you should take a few test pictures before your big day. The more time you spend making sure the style and appearance of your dress is right ahead of time the easier it will be to enjoy yourself on the day of the wedding.

Choose a Color Scheme

Choosing an overall color scheme for your wedding will go a long way when coordinating your wedding dress and decorations. Though you are probably going to choose a classic white colored wedding dress, everything that compliments it from the tiara on your head to the bouquet of flowers in your hands can play into how it balances with the rest of your decorations. If you choose a color scheme in advance, you can have it in mind when you go shopping for your wedding dress and other accessories. By taking the color into consideration, you improve your odds of getting the perfect look considerably without having to invest a lot of time or effort.
