Having style doesn’t solely mean relying on trends and accentuating your personal flair and aura doesn’t come easy to all and finding a signature look can add stress to the occasion. If you’re finding yourself in a pinch for time (thanks, indecision!), don’t go for all the bells and whistles and trust in minimalism. Having a sense of balance is something that transcends the values of your relationship and into the wardrobe; the simple mathematics of each becomes a philosophy. Here’s a guide to harboring an untimely appearance that will transform you into a minimalist and have you feeling your best for the big day:
Confidence: Don’t wear something you don’t feel comfortable in or base it off another’s opinion. Only you know how to define your personal style. If you’re uncomfortable, it will come across easily. | |
Thrive in Simplicity: Simple often means inexpensive, but it doesn’t necessarily have to look so. | |
Accessorizing accordingly: When you accessorize less it doesn’t mean you’re skimping on quality. Get a killer pair of shoes to make a statement or just keep the focus on the rock. | |
Scent: Minimalism also means keeping things to the bare essentials. Choosing an appropriate scent is based off of preference but keeping it on the lighter side goes a long way. Spritz where you know your husband/wife to-be will appreciate it the most (back of the neck, the forearms). | |
Decisions, Decisions: Go with your gut. Justify your love on one item and move forward from there. |
