Bridal Tousseau

Planning & shopping for the trousseau is a good way to begin. There are many people who like to leave the trousseau shopping to the last minute. But in last minute running around one misses out on all the handsome bargains. Secondly last minute shopping sprees restrict your choice a lot, limited time for hopping shop-to-shop being the biggest constraint.

There is always a mixture of excitement and fear in choosing your perfect dream dress. It’s very difficult to choose from the hordes of bridal costume.

Bridal Outfits & Make-over

Dressing up for the big day is truly a big mania. It necessitates more than convoluted planning. Remember these things in mind while bridal make-up.

Look - Two types of looks could be espoused for the wedding - one is the trendy look & the other is traditional. The other newest looks in fashion are demure, radiant, glamorous, ethereal & dramatic.

Colour - It is the vital visual impact. Colours that are obsequious, modern & individual depend on the bride’s complexion, colour and features. For the best results, seek an advice from a fashion designer or make-up artist.

Face and Hair - Keep in mind that the bride has to work on the entire look. Make-up should not be isolated from clothes. Prominence should be given to the face. It is always worth in investing in a professional make-up artist on that day. After all it is only during ones wedding that one can pamper herself fully. Once the look has been planned, the hairstyle is decided. It is imperative that different hairstyles could be tried prior to the wedding so that it becomes easier to improve the ‘look’ on that day.

Jewellery - Jewellery should not sidetrack from the face, it should go with the look. The earrings should enhance the cheekbones, the nose ring should not be overpowering & the necklace should sit well on the neck as to give that elongated look. Correspondingly hair jewellery should emphasize with the flowers.

Wedding Outfit - A great care must be taken in selecting them as a bride treasures her Wedding outfits for the rest of her life. Be it a saree or a sharara or a gown, the focus should be kept on the face. The garment should make the face look amazing and the bride-slimmer & taller. The colour should be unusual & pleasing.

Before selecting the outfit, a special attention should be given to the bride’s, personality, height, features, complexion & hair, which could be improved by the colour she wears. Think about petty things like the groom’s outfit & the colour he will be wearing. It would be a great idea if one is planning to wear an outfit matching to the partner’s.

Accessories - The selection of wrong accessories can ruin everything. Ideally, they should be subtle and unseen. One has to be very careful in selecting footwear.

Beautician - It’s your Wedding Day, the grand day of your life & of course, you want to look your best. But consider that just a heavily priced bridal outfit cannot give you the look of a model.
