Every bride wants to look fabulous, feel like a celebrity, and be flawless on her wedding day. However, it is important to remember some style do’s and don’ts in order to prepare an elegant, classy, personal look rather than a cookie cutter bride.

1. Do look like yourself on your wedding day – just the best version of yourself!
2. Don’t get fake nails much longer than your fingertips. Shaking hands with guests shouldn’t be dangerous.
3. Don’t wear high heels just to look taller in photos. Walking down the aisle easily is more important.
4. Don’t show too much cleavage or leg. Keep the cut of your wedding dress tasteful.
5. Do pick a gown that is timeless. Wearing a dress for its fashion fad will quickly look dated in your photo albums.
6. Do seek professional hairstyling and/or make up advice for a polished look.
7. Don’t let a professional (or family and friends) tell you how you should look. Speak up about what you want; it is your day after all!
8. Do borrow your grandmother’s jewelry that will make your look traditional.
9. Don’t go all out with diamonds or jewels that may bring attention away from your dress, and most of all, you!
10. Do pick a bridal hairstyle that is not only stylish and beautiful, but also long lasting.

These are just a few tidbits of what every bride should follow. Being your beautiful self on your wedding day is  best style any bride can have.
