Finishing Touches: The Subtle Details to Ensure You Shine Brightly on Prom Night!

Finding the right prom dress for your big social event is winning half the battle. But, once you finish that, the next task on your agenda should be locating the right accessories. A few minor details are all it takes to transform your look from good to Wow! And, here are some tips to get the details right so you look stunning on your prom night.

Play around with color till you get the mix just right

Don’t let the color of your prom dress dictate your choice of accessories. It is boring to find a pretty girl dressed in a single color from head to toe, however brilliant the color may be. It would be best to mix it with complementary or neutral-coloured accessories for a more exciting combination. An easy way to find the colours that go well together is to take a look at the color wheel and choose accessories in colors that lie opposite to the shade of your dress. If you aren’t comfortable mixing and matching colors, select jewelry and accessories in neutrals or silver and gold, and you cannot go wrong.

Get a cool-looking manicure

It is the little details like well-filed nails with beautiful polish that add finesse to your look. Don’t just go with the traditional French manicure or a single shade. Think of how you will deck up your fingers and find colors and designs that will go well with your prom dress. Take a look online to find the right color if you don’t have it; there are many sites online like Coteshop where you can get the perfect match for your dress. Make sure you wait till a day or two before prom to prepare your nails, so it stays fresh. You can either match your nail art to the designs on your dress or go for subtle sophistication with a hint of sparkle. Don’t forget to complete the effect with a statement ring.

Choose a stunning but practical clutch

Not only does a matching clutch refine your total look, but it is also a practical necessity. This is where you can stash your makeup, hairbrush and other essentials. Just make sure that it isn’t too bulky. A good accessory should work with your dress, not against it. Make sure that the texture and finish go well with the colors and fabric of your dress. If in doubt, choose a solid colored one or go with a neutral shade like black, silver or nude that will match any color.

Pull your look together

A lot is happening with the dress, hairstyle, accessories and makeup. To look great, make sure you balance it out by sticking to few dramatic elements and not overdoing it. If your dress has elaborate details, go easy with the accessories. Simple silver necklaces or a string of pearls will be sufficient. Avoid a necklace altogether if your dress has a halter neck. If your dress is relatively simple, dress it up with interesting and more prominent accessories.

You now know how to get the finer details of your prom look done. If you haven’t chosen your prom dress yet, visit us at Best for Bride today and make your pick.

Elevate Your Elegance: Expert Tips to Add a Touch of Glamour to Your Wedding Ensemble!

If there ever is a day when you shouldn’t look simple, it is your wedding day!

As the bride, all eyes will be on you. While the elegance of a white wedding gown is unbeatable, you can still enhance your wedding day look and look more glamorous than ever before. Here are the various options you can consider to make this possible.

Choose a wedding dress with an extra-glamorous element

A fitted silhouette that snugly embraces your curves is beautiful, and certain silhouettes easily accentuate the WOW Factor. You gain extra points if you can carry off a mermaid dress with style. Other features that can be stunning on a dress include a daringly low back or an illusion back with beautiful details. When choosing your dress, also pay attention to the features at the back. After all, your guests will catch a clear view of it during the ceremony and you want to impress from all angles.

Necklines can add a dose of glamour too, when done right. Sweetheart bodices, deep-cut V-necklines or scintillating halter straps are all excellent choices for stepping up your style.

Bring on the bling

With metal beading, crystal embellishments, rhinestone work and shimmery lace, you have so many choices. Don’t hesitate to choose a wedding dress that is a masterpiece of embellished details. Forget simplicity; choose a dress with as many details as you can afford to wear without drowning in it. For a cool, sophisticated and timeless look that is glamorous as well, opt for a wedding gown in Larissa satin or Duchess satin, and the subtle sheen will add a touch of luxury to your overall look.

Choose bold jewelry

If you have second thoughts about choosing a dress that is way too simple, do not worry. You can add sparkle to your outfit with matching accessories that are big and bold and compensate for an understated wedding gown. Pick a pair of chandelier earrings, add a tiara, or choose a fantastic necklace to add more style. You needn’t even stick to silver or white. Choose coloured gemstones or gold as the metal for your accessories for an expensive and trendy look.

Work with wedding dress accessories that are stylish

Step up your style quotient by adding a scintillating statement waistband. This will also draw attention to your slender waist and help you show it off. Wear a fur cape or stole for a winter wedding to add more style. Don’t forget your wedding shoes either. Make sure they complement your dress beautifully while fashionably dressing up your feet.

Choose a stunning hairstyle

Prepare for your wedding dress appointment: 5 Things to take along

via Best for Bride

Wedding dress shopping is exciting and finding the right wedding dress is something every bride eagerly looks forward to. However, before you begin wedding shopping, you need to do some research.

This will help you shortlist the desired silhouettes, dress patterns, fabric choices and most importantly, allow you to fix your budget. Once you have a good picture of what you want and what you don’t, you are set to go shopping. Call up the bridal boutique and fix your appointment, rope in your best friends to accompany you, and get set to attend your appointment.

Now, do you just walk in on the day of your appointment? Not quite. It isn’t a good idea to simply go for your appointment without a few essential items. Let us look at what these are.

Photos for inspiration

You may have seen a fabulous gown in a magazine or on the internet, that you are dying to try. Print out a picture, and better still take down the dress number and other information pertaining to the gown. This will allow your bridal consultant to locate that dress for you. When possible, inform the boutique of the dresses that you would like to check out, when you fix your appointment. This way, it is likely they will have it in their inventory in time for your appointment.

If your vision of “the dress” includes bits and pieces from various other gowns, take prints of all these gowns along, and share your ideas with your consultant. She will be able to help you find one that matches your expectations.

Suitable inner wear

A strapless bra is absolutely necessary for your bridal appointment, since it is the only one that works with strapless gowns, spaghetti straps, deep cut necklines or halter style dresses. Without this, you may not be able to visualize the actual look of the gown. If you will be wearing inner shape-wear on your big day, make sure you take this along as well.

A camera

Looking at yourself in the mirror is not good enough. Snap a few pictures on a camera or your phone and look at it to understand how you actually look from different angles, before you finalize your dress.

Shoes

Although you may not have your wedding shoes yet, it is a good idea to wear shoes with the same heel height that you will be wearing to your wedding. This will allow you to see how the dress falls, and determine the length to which the hemline should be altered.

Heirlooms, accessories and hairstyle

Will you be wearing a family heirloom such as a veil or a headpiece? Or perhaps, you have already decided on the jewelry that you will be wearing on your wedding day. If so, bring these along, so you can decide whether it goes well with the dress you chose, or you have to continue looking. Also wear a hairstyle similar to what you will don on your wedding day, so you can see if a dress matches your look.

With these essential things in hand, you are all set for your wedding dress shopping. So, get ready to have the best time shopping. Check out our wedding dress collection for inspiration, and fix your appointment with Best for Bride to have the best wedding shopping experience ever.
