Fun Bridal Ensemble looks
While a traditional wedding ensemble is lovely, some brides with playful, whimsical personalities want to express that side of themselves through their bridal outfit. If you are one such bride, here are some adorable ideas to add a little playfulness to your bridal ensemble!
-Head-Instead of a veil, wear something unexpected. Stick a peacock feather in your updo, wear a jaunty top hat or fedora, or take a leaf out of a candy-loving bride's book and string candy necklaces around your chignon. If you still wish to wear a veil, make it fun by wearing a funky fascinator or a birdcage-style veil, or by choosing a veil with some color in it.
-Shoulders-A fun necklace is a great way to showcase your personality. Websites like Etsy have lots of amazing vintage necklaces to offer! Wear a dress that has an interesting bodice, such as one with colored laces on a corseted back, or add a shrug to your ensemble for a pretty, ballerina-esque look that will also keep you cozy.
-Knees-The easiest way to make your wedding ensemble more playful is by bringing up the hemline of your dress. A knee-length or tea-length dress looks flirty and fun! Add a few ruffles to your hemline regardless of the length, and you will have an adorable, fluttery look. For a really surprising touch, instead of a traditional train, attach something to your dress - consider everything from streamers to ribbons of all shapes, sizes, and patterns.
-Toes-Of course, if you are a playful bride, you will want to wear shoes that allow you to really play! Trade in those traditional white high heels for a pair of pink Converse sneakers, some bright flip-flops with flowers on them, or even a pair of fuzzy slippers or rain boots! TOMS also make a great choice for a trendy bride - and even better, for every pair of shoes sold, TOMS donates a pair to a child in need.
-Everywhere else-The bridal ensemble includes your bouquet! A new trend is to create bouquets out of buttons and vintage brooches. This look is one that is unusual while still being beautiful and elegant, and it will certainly become a focal point of your wedding ensemble. Your guests will be wowed at the unique look and you will be thrilled at the wonderful memories it will create. Best part? It will never wilt!
