Cinderella’s ‘shoe-gasm’

With a short wedding dress, your wedding heels will really be on display, so pick a pair of show-stoppers that you truly love. The love of shoes seems to take on a whole new meaning for brides. Of course, it might be all about the dress, but the shoes are right up there in terms of priority, right? The search for that perfect pair to bring on a Cinderella’s ‘shoe-gasm’ can be as fun, if not more… especially if you’re anything like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City.

Play up your other assets

While your legs are poised to take centre-stage in a mini dress, play up your other assets in complimenting roles to nail the perfect look for your wedding day.If you possess a swan neck with a lovely décolletage, flaunt them with a deep V or sweetheart neckline. Slender, toned arms legitimately earn their rights to a strapless (or just about any) design. A short, swingy shift or a structural trapeze can camouflage trouble areas around the middle while a nipped waist and added peplum can accentuate the femininity of an hourglass figure.

Fraxel Dual Laser brings about total skin renewal to stubborn dark spots and reverse years of sun damage to the décolletage, with the state-of-the-art Thulium 1927nm wavelength working remarkably well against targeted superficial brown pigmentation. Improving the texture, tone and color of your ‘treasure chest’ by affecting only a fraction of your skin at a time with thousands of tiny microscopic laser spots. Just like a photographic image that’s being restored pixel by pixel, Fraxel Dual brings about overall rejuvenating benefits that refreshes the skin so that it looks younger, softer and smoother. A series of five sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended to produce a gradual remodeling of the dermal matrix components collagen and elastin, leading to nothing short of a total skin rebirth.

The key to a polished look is all about striking the right balance. If you are showing more legs, opt for a little more coverage on top, and lower the hemline if your dress is more revealing on top. Be mindful of how much leg is exposed, think 5th Avenue chic, not trailer park cheap. Make sure you can comfortably walk, sit and dance without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction that threatens to happen once too often.

Veil reveal

If you excitedly tried on a ton of headpieces and veils without giving a thought to the hairstyle underneath, you are a veil bride. Purchase your veil of choice first and have your stylist work around it to find an appropriate hairstyle to match.For some brides, the veil is the ultimate bridal accessory. If this is an absolute must-have to pair with your short wedding dress, opt for a style that hits at your elbow or higher. A short bridal headdress, especially a retro-licious vintage-style birdcage veil, will complement and not compete with your dress. For the modern bride-to–be, you can also skip the veil altogether and add a special hair accessory or some fresh flowers instead.

The ultimate test is when you look at your own reflection and see no flaws, to be yourself, radiant and beautiful and all ready for your best big day.
