Bridal Accessories-From Wedding Shoes to Wedding Garters

You want every detail of your wedding to be perfect. For that reason, you spend time choosing the right wedding invitations from our site. Remember, though, appearance is only one consideration. Comfort and quality are often less considered but just as important as look. This is especially true when deciding who will do your hair or makeup or choosing bridal accessories such as wedding shoes and wedding garters. The article below provides some essential tips on choosing bridal shoes, garters and other essentials such as a hairdresser and make-up artist.

Choosing Your Wedding Gown - Garters, Shoes, Hair Dressers, Makeup Artists, Manicures and Pedicures

GARTER

It is customary for the bride to wear a garter just above or below the knee on her wedding day. After the bouquet tossing ceremony, the groom takes the garter off the bride's leg. All the single men gather on the dance floor. The groom then tosses the garter to them over his back. According to age-old tradition, whoever catches the garter is the next to be married!

SHOES

Things To Consider: Make sure you select comfortable shoes that complement your gown; and don't forget to break them in well before your wedding day. Tight shoes can make you miserable and ruin your wedding day!

HAIRDRESSER

Many brides prefer to have their hair professionally arranged with their headpiece the day of the wedding rather than trying to do it themselves.

Things To Consider: Consider having your professional hairdresser experiment with your hair and headpiece before your wedding day so that there are no surprises. On your wedding day, you can go to the salon or have the stylist meet you at your home or dressing site. Consider having him/her arrange your mother's and your bridesmaids' hair for a consistent look.

MAKEUP ARTIST

Many brides prefer to have their makeup professionally applied on their wedding day rather than trying to do it themselves.

Things To Consider: It's smart to go for a trial run before the day of the wedding so that there are no surprises. You can either go to the salon or have the makeup artist meet you at your home or dressing site. Consider having him/her apply makeup for your mother, your fianc's mother and your bridesmaids for a consistent look. In selecting a makeup artist, make sure s/he has been trained in makeup for photography. It is very important to wear the proper amount of makeup for photographs.

MANICURE / PEDICURE

As a final touch, it's nice to have a professional manicure and/or pedicure the day of your wedding. Things To Consider: Don't forget to bring the appropriate color nail polish with you for your appointment. You can either go to the salon or have the manicurist meet you at your home or dressing site. Consider having him/her give your mother, your fianc's mother and your bridesmaids a manicure in the same color for a consistent look.
