Wedding Day Wardrobe
MODULE 11
Welcome to Your Wedding Wardrobe
Your wedding outfit should empower you.
What you wear should reflect your personality, your style and your spirit!
At first, it might feel unfarmiliar or even a little uncomfortable - after all, it’s not something you wear every day(or even every year!) But dont worry - this section is here to help you feel confident, comfortable and compleley yourself on your special day!
Top Tip…
If you are considering treating your bridal party to hair and makeup please budget appropriately. Make sure you get quests first before letting your bridal party know. The last thing you want is for them to be excited and have to let them know there isn’t the funds in your wedding budget.
Under Garments
Let’s start with the basics — your undergarments.
Always choose underwear that matches your skin tone so it blends seamlessly beneath your outfit. Push-up or shaping pieces aren’t always necessary, but if you do decide to wear them, make sure you bring them to every dress fitting. Try them on in different lighting — both daylight and artificial light — to ensure everything looks smooth and natural.
If you’re someone who gets warm easily, consider bringing a spare shirt for the wedding morning. Make sure it’s the exact same style and fabric you’ll be wearing later so you can change comfortably if needed. Many people also find it useful to wear a light vest or thin, organic cotton T-shirt under their shirt to absorb any sweat and help keep you feeling fresh.
Footwear
Your wedding day is magical — but it’s also long, full of movement, and you’ll spend a lot of time on your feet. To keep yourself comfortable from morning until night, it’s a great idea to pack an extra pair of shoes. Flip-flops, trainers or cosy slippers are perfect for slipping on when your feet need a break. There’s absolutely no judgement — only envy from anyone who didn’t think ahead!
Top Tip 1: Wear Your Shoes In
Don’t save your wedding shoes for your wedding day day. Wear them around the house, preferably on carpet to avoid marking the soles. A great trick is to pop them on while you stand and iron your mountain of washing — the natural shifting and rocking movements you make while ironing help your feet get used to the shoes far better than simply walking in a straight line.
Top Tip 2: Avoid Satin Shoes in Autumn/Winter
If you’re getting married in the autumn or winter months and there’s a chance of rain, try to avoid satin shoes. Satin absorbs moisture easily, which can lead to permanent watermarks, discolouration and fabric damage. Wet grass, puddles or even a damp pathway can quickly ruin satin, so opting for a more weather-resistant fabric will keep your shoes looking beautiful all day long.
Jewellery
Choosing your wedding jewellery is all about enhancing your look without overpowering it. Whether you prefer something timeless and simple or a little more statement, your jewellery should complement your outfit, your hairstyle, and your overall wedding style.
Here are a few things to consider:
Keep it comfortable
Choose pieces you can happily wear all day. Try your earrings, bracelet or necklace at home for a couple of hours to make sure nothing feels heavy or irritating.Match your metals to your overall look
Pearls are a classic choice — elegant, bridal, and beautiful with almost every dress style.
Gold works perfectly if your outfit has warm tones or gold accents, such as embroidery, buttons, or hair accessories.
Silver is ideal if your dress or accessories lean towards cooler tones, crystal details or silver embellishments.
Take your jewellery to your fittings and get it polished.
Consider sentimental touches
An heirloom necklace, a bracelet from a loved one or a meaningful piece can add emotion and personal connection to your outfit.
Top Tip…
For a stress free shopping experience, start shopping for your wedding dress 12-18 months before your wedding and if you know your dress will need alterations, book your seamstress, or tailor as soon as you purchase it. They often get booked up well in advance!

Top Tip…
Bridal sizing works very differently to high street sizing, and often it comes as a surprise. Most wedding dresses are cut smaller and don’t have much stretch therefore many brides need to order a larger size than they normally wear. Please do not let the number on the label take away from the moment. The only thing that matters is how the dress looks, how it feels and how confident you are wearing it.
