Samantha, who has also worked in Kleinfield Bridal in New York, shared with us her top tips in nailing your bridal style&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A bride\u2019s style is applied through all aspects of the wedding day, from her dress to the flowers to the invitations, all the way through to the table setting. When deciding on a style, the best place to start is actually the end. Envision your wedding day; how are your guests dressed? Are they wardrobe in black tie or in a sundress and sandals? Are you celebrating indoors by candlelight or are you dancing under the stars? Keep this vision in mind, take your unique style and translate it into a wedding style that is truly you!<\/p>\n<h2>Use Your Story As Inspiration<\/h2>\n<p>I admit, I\u2019m a hopeless romantic and I believe the best source of inspiration is to look at your own love story. You are celebrating this day with your other half, your best friend. It\u2019s about remembering the moment his kind eyes met yours, to you\u2019re first kiss, where you were the first time you said \u2018I love you,\u2019 and the butterflies you felt the instant he got down on one knee. Take those precious moments that the two of you shared and let it inspire you to create a bridal style that evokes real depth and meaning to all elements of your special day.<\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives For The Classic White Dress<\/h2>\n<p>The &#8216;bridal jumpsuit&#8217; is making a buzz in the wedding scene and if you are a bride who is going for a look that is less traditional than a <a title=\"gown\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/blog\/tips-choosing-wedding-gown\/\">gown<\/a>, I think this trend is perfect when walking down the aisle. It\u2019s a new concept of wedding wear that is taking a twist on the classic bridal silhouette; it\u2019s elegant, yet chic and fun. There are a range of styles and looks that you can incorporate, from dressing it down for a more simplistic relaxed wedding or dressing it up with a statement necklace, plush belt or a dazzling diamant\u00e9 brooch and heels. The options are endless for you to say \u2018I do\u2019 in a wedding-day jumpsuit!<\/p>\n<h2>Keep To Classic Bridal Etiquette<\/h2>\n<p>Your wedding day is a loved-filled celebration of commitment and the bridge between two lives, it is important that you and your groom avoid making any etiquette blunders. Don\u2019t wait until the end of the night to cut the cake, some guests may not want to stay and dance the night away; however they will still want a piece of that heavenly white-chocolate goodness. Be genuine and heartfelt by ensuring that every single one of your guest is greeted by the new \u2018Mr. and Mrs.\u2019 and always hand write your \u2018Thank you\u2019 cards, making them personal, not generic. No wedding is ever flawless, but every wedding has a little bit of perfection in it and that is what will be remembered!<\/p>\n<p><em>Samantha Chirico is a Weddings and Events Marketing Intern at\u00a0<a title=\"Fota Island\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/venues\/fota-island-resort-fota-cork-5star-96154\/\">Fota Island Resort<\/a>, Cork.
