What to do once you have collected your WEDDING DRESS
Today we want to focus on the 24 hours leading up to the Big Day: here are our tips!
Open and hang the dress
You've probably picked up your wedding dress, carefully wrapped in an elegant case to protect it from any mishaps. Now it's time to unwrap it and hang it high up (from a doorframe, the top of a closet door, or a ceiling beam). It would be great if you could keep the train off the floor, but if you can't climb that high, remember to put a clean old sheet underneath it to prevent it from getting dirty prematurely. To iron out any creases super easily, hang it in the bathroom with the hot water running and the door closed. Steam works wonders!
A quick check of the shoes
They will be brand new and super shiny But to keep them from bothering you or slipping, you'll need to walk around your house in them for at least half an hour. This will allow you to determine if there are any critical areas that need to be addressed with specific pads, or if you need to drill an extra hole in the strap.
Define the clothes and shoes you will wear for the “preparation”
The “getting ready” photos can be really interesting and fun to look at after the wedding, but the must will be to be absolutely flawless, Whether you choose a fresh, delicate dress or a sexy silk robe, try everything on, adjust hems and necklines so they don't bother you the next day, and lay out your shoes next to your gorgeous outfit.
Prepare an emergency kit
A micro-beauty kit to survive any eventuality once you set foot outside the house. As we mentioned in our article on the bridal kit, the essential items are: normal and anti-blister plasters, wet wipes; a small makeup kit for touch-ups (concealer for dark circles, eye pencil, and permanent lipstick); hairspray, brush, and hairpins; a pair of scissors and three small safety pins; a mini sewing kit with white thread. And for the ceremony? A mini bottle (glass!!) of water, two sugar packets, and a well-embroidered white cloth handkerchief to dry tears of joy!
Pack a small suitcase for your wedding night
Maybe you will come back home very tired and not very sober or maybe you will come back lively and cheerful as if not a moment had passed since your fateful Yes: the important thing will be to be fascinating and irresistible Even after partying all night. So don't forget to pack a silk nightgown and a set of lingerie appropriate for the occasion in your small suitcase because, contrary to popular belief, the underwear brides are usually forced to wear under their wedding dress is anything but provocative. Remember when we discussed how to choose bridal lingerie?
