Bonus Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Attire

• Comfortability: Consider how you typically dress day to day and what about it makes you feel comfortable. If you decide to explore outside of your comfort zone for your wedding day, try purchasing something similar in vibe or fit that’s on the cheaper side to wear around beforehand. It’s fun to explore styles, but you want to make sure you feel good and feel like yourself on your wedding day before committing to your attire.
  
  
• Multiples: Lets say you have your mind set on a certain outfit for your wedding day, but once you get it you realize it’s not going to be enjoyable to be in all day long. Whether it’s stiff, heavy, etc. you could always consider having a change of outfit! Not only does this give you a chance to express yourself in more than one outfit, but it lets you enjoy your day without discomfort.
  
  
• Expressive: Everyday is a day to be who you truly are, but your wedding day is just that much more special and important. Your wedding attire is an opportunity to let your vibes and personality shine✨ Think colors, patterns, embroidery, styles and cuts.. there are sooo many ways to express yourself with clothing and with the help of these inclusive vendors you have a vast amount of options!

Best of luck & congrats!! 🫶🏻
