What we as friends have to pay attention to when styling the bride

Unsuspectingly, I swiped through WhatsApp Stories a few months ago and couldn’t believe my eyes. Between boomer jokes and excitement, a tiny diamond sparkled on a nicely manicured hand I knew very well. It was somehow clear what phase is, but the lettering “She said yes” gave the approval that my inner Sherlock was still missing. We are going to marry! The joy is great, because it is a family member. And more selfishly, I love weddings.

While some friends of mine are just now starting to go to weddings, I’ve danced at quite a few. From known and unknown. Turkish, German, Nigerian, Congolese. I’ve seen some where the couple eloped, and some where the bride realized after two weeks how unhappy she was in the bond of marriage (and left the man before he asked “will you marry me?” at the time Has). No matter how the marriage ended, all brides had one thing in common: they looked stunning. And what is indispensable: good friends who keep the bride’s back and head free.

Yes, I want: 3 things that we as friends pay attention to when styling the bride

You’re not in the wedding dress

While that’s obvious, there’s no harm in repeating it. Anyone who helps with the styling, be it by suggesting or giving an opinion, has to put something on the back burner. Sure, we all have our own taste and are welcome to share it. But at the end of the day, it’s not about what you find beautiful or would wear. It’s about making the bride feel comfortable. Working your way along these questions can be helpful: Is it for the registry office or the church wedding? Tip: yes, no? Sleeves: yes, no? What length do you like? What do you love most about your body? Should it be a dress, a suit or a suit? Create a mood board together with wedding dresses or registry office looks that you like. In addition to the classic bridal fashion shops, you should also visit your favorite designers online. There you will surely find a gem in cream, ivory or pure white.

Shine from within

It is not the dress that makes the bride shine, but the way she wears it. Your own satisfaction with what is on your skin. That she feels comfortable in her body from head to toe. As a friend, that means: joint manicures, pedicures, appointments with the hairdresser, suitable underwear and especially: pep talk. That means building with words. Stand by your side as support. Keeping a cool head when things get hot. And of course: really happy from the heart.

Quanta costa?

In Germany we don’t like to talk about money. It is inevitable and super important. Talk about the budget! If it is fixed, then use it as a guide and then do not send clothes to the group that cost twice as much. It’s pretty annoying to look forward to something only to have to realize soberingly: It won’t work. Styling is not just about the outfit itself. Think about the costs of shoes, make-up and accessories.
