Having style doesnโt solely mean relying on trends and accentuating your personal flair and aura doesnโt come easy to all and finding a signature look can add stress to the occasion. If youโre finding yourself in a pinch for time (thanks, indecision!), donโt 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. Hereโs 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: Donโt wear something you donโt feel comfortable in or base it off anotherโs opinion. Only you know how to define your personal style. If youโre uncomfortable, it will come across easily. | |
| Thrive in Simplicity: Simple often means inexpensive, but it doesnโt necessarily have to look so. | |
| Accessorizing accordingly: When you accessorize less it doesnโt mean youโre 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. |
