Lingerie

When buying lingerie, it is important that you try everything on with your wedding dress to ensure that there are no nasty lines or patterns showing through.  Make sure that you choose lingerie that you know you will be comfortable in as you have to wear it all day. 

Shoes

Again you shoes MUST be comfortable!  Wera them in a little by wearing them around the house a couple of weeks before the wedding.  The sooner you you find your wedding shoes the better as you will be able to take them to your dress fittings.  This means that the length of your dress can be altered correctly.

Veils & Headresses

The general rule with veils is the more formal the wedding dress the longer the veil, although this is not setin stone.  Your bridal store will be more than happy to advise you on will suit each dress design.  Consider how the veil will be attached.  Take your veil or headress with you to you hair trial so that the hairdresser knows what they are are working with.

Choosing Your Tiara

When choosing your tiara, you should consider both shape and style. The style should complement your dress. For example, if your dress is beaded with pearls, you should choose a pearl tiara. A crystal tiara will complement a dress or veil with diamantes, and a floral design a dress with a flower motif.

The shape of your face is an important consideration in choosing the right tiara. Like a pretty picture frame, your tiara is there not to be the focus of attention, but to enhance your overall look.

• If you have an oval face, you can wear most styles, but avoid a tiara that peaks in the centre.
• A tall tiara will add length to a round face.
• If your face is long, you need a low tiara of even height across the head. A style which adds a little width at the sides would be ideal, or you might consider an alice band.
• A v-shaped peak will work beautifully for a heart-shaped face.

You also need to take into account your veil, if you choose to wear one. If you propose to wear a veil with a blusher (the short layer that is worn over the face at the start of the ceremony), it is probably best to avoid very delicate wired styles.
