5 Reasons to consider a mermaid dress! #thingsweknowbest #iamabridewedding

We love this style! Checking through most of yours (and ours) ‘saved-pins’ or ‘Instagram-saved’ post or pictures, you'll realize most of the gowns or dresses are mostly in mermaid style. Now, people always say “Liking something on a model or on a hanger maybe a lot different than liking it once it’s on you!”

So, for this reason being, trying on at least one of every silhouette can be helpful, including mermaid style! I know... Some experts or shop assistant might turn-down or ‘wipe away’ your ‘mermaid-dream’ with many reasons. But as for me… if mermaid dress is just what you want? Have courage! Does not matter what shapes or sizes you are in, there WILL BE a perfect mermaid dress for you! (At least, I have the confident to turn your ‘mermaid-dream-come-true’ :) Who knows you might be surprised what ends up stealing your heart!

Here are our 5 reasons for you to consider a mermaid dress #thingsweknowbest

#1. Contour Curves: Mermaid dress hugs your bodice from chest down, waist, up to your knee, or slightly below the knee, then the skirt begins to (dramatically) flare out down to the hem. Choosing this style means that you’ll have the opportunity to show off those fantastic curves! With the right cutting, mermaid dress helps create a great body fitted figure (beautiful ‘S’ or hourglass shape).

#2. Great for Petite Brides: The full skirts or ball gown can be very dreamy, but for most of us (Asian ladies *ahem), these rather big silhouette can be overwhelming, especially on more petite size. Mermaids are great for smaller brides because the longer bodice adds length and accentuate body figure better. Visually gives your body silhouette fullness.

#3. Add Allure: Sparkles, blinks, bedazzle may caught your attention, but mermaids sometimes need less because the dramatic and fitted silhouette already is the interesting highlight by itself. It is a dramatic and stunning look that can be pair with many style of neckline, be it the modest sheer netting chest line or a sexy deep V. Or even look gorgeous with a statement back! 

#4. Modern Me: Looking back through the old days (like from the history), lady's attire or the traditional wear are never 'sexy' - none are showing off too much curves, skin or body shape. So as fashion revolves, we can now accept more 'perfect fit' kind of styles like mermaid style. This is modern fashion, but can also be played down for a more classic look with laces or sleeves.

#5. Create Memories: Whenever we need to dress-up (as a bride or as a guest to an event or function), we want to feel confident! Like we actually made an impact in front of our guests or friends. So, selecting a stunning gown/dress is very important. Mermaid dresses are always a fashion statement. (Try flashback all the iconic celebrity's 'Red Carpet' moments... Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie etc just to name a few :)

I hope these 5 good reasons (out of many others) give a boost-up for you in searching for your perfect mermaid dress.

The wedding dress feels as good as it looks

It complement your figure and hugs your body in the right places, flatters your figure beautifully. You feel so comfortable in the dress that you start swirling around and look at the dress from all angles looking. In that one moment, all other wedding dresses pale in comparison.

The wedding dress reflect your unique personality

Doesn't matter it is a modern, traditional, conservative, sexy, elegant, funky or maybe there's not a correct word to describe your style… You just feel so beautiful and so confident in this wedding dress, that you can even picture yourself walking down the aisle in front of the crowd. You might start using superlatives too!

The wedding dress that you don't want to take it off

When you are reluctant to take that dress off, it’s a strong sign that you don't want to try-on anymore other dresses because you know you’ve found the perfect one for you. You'll start accessorizing it in your mind or in front of the mirror. And when you are off the dress, you can not stop thinking about it!

This 'bunch of flowers' for a bride are actually playing a very important role for your whole wedding. Some even say your Bridal bouquet is a once in a lifetime accessory! Well, it's quite true that we lady as a bride or bride-to-be get to only carry a beautiful bouquet on our wedding or registration day :) *I miss my ROM and wedding bouquets so much!! Should have 'preserve' them! (I'll share with you ideas on how-to-preserve at the end of this post :)

♥

For most of my bride or bride-to-be clients who have decided or complete custom making her wedding gown or dress with me, next thing I always get asked or questioned are: "What flowers should I get for my bridal bouquet?" "What shape of my bridal bouquet goes best with my gown?" "How big or what size should my bouquet be?" "Is this the correct way to hold my bridal bouquet?"

I might no be a florist or a flower experts (I'm a gown make!), but I LOVE flowers, I LOVE details and lucky enough my aunt is an experienced florist! Since I've in this wedding industry, I've learn many tips and bits from her! And today, my aunt and I will share with you some of our thoughts and I'll try to give ideas on how to choose your bridal bouquet and hopefully will answer the above common question about bridal bouquet :)

Bridal Bouquet x Gown

1) Decide on your wedding gown Then your bouquet

It's always better if you can decide on your wedding gown first before you ask your florist for a consultation. Suggestion on what type of flowers you wish to include in your bridal bouquet, the size of your bouquet and the style of flower arrangement are very much depends on your wedding gown's look and feel. An ideal bridal bouquet design will better compliment the silhouette of you in your gown and balance your whole look.

2) Bouquet's shape and size 

♥ Destination bride - Adri in our custom made illusional neckline mild mermaid wedding gown and her stunning bridal bouquet ♥
#sleeveless #sheer #illusional #neckline #seethru #chestline #laces #mildmermaid #natural #bridalbouquet #hungary

Let say you have settle for a mermaid silhouette wedding gown with Chapel length train, you can consider a Nosegay or Posy style. Basically, if your gown style is the slimmer sheaths type, mermaid, narrow A-line, chiffon flawy, carry a bouquet that is not too big. Keep the size of your bouquet within your waist or hip area as a bench mark area. 

♥ Our bride - Beebee in our custom made ball gown and her gorgeous yet unique bridal bouquet ♥
#tubetop #laces #ballgown #flarewithruches #bigger #roundbridalbouquet #multiangel

If your wedding gown is a Ball Gown or a flare A-line with long train, a Cascade or bigger Hand-tied style of bridal bouquet can go quite well with your look. Bigger Round shape bouquet can also match with bigger gown. The basic idea is the bigger surface you have for your gown, you can go for bigger bridal bouquet. Yay! Meaning you can select and include more choices of flowers options for combination! But don't go over-board, usually we'll pick maximum three different types of flowers in a bouquet combination.

♥ Pretty bride - Youmi in our custom made chiffon Grecian style wedding gown and her special bridal bouquet ♥#chiffon #weddinggown #grecianstle #seethru #sheer #lacestop #sleeveless #santotini 

Now, If your gown style is a minimalism type, a Round shape bridal bouquet can give a highlight to your over all bridal look. If your gown have lots of embellishments or details like sashes, ribbon bow or ruches/gathers/foldings on your gown, keep your bridal bouquet simple. Simple as in, simple flowers, simple colors and simple design.

3) Colour of your bouquet and wedding gown

♥ Beautiful bride - Jane in our custom made sheer sleeveless lace wedding gown and her stracking colorful bridal bouquet ♥

As we know wedding gown is usually ivory white. So your bridal bouquet is like a compliment art on a very pretty style white 'canvas'. You can choose to highlight or contrast it against your pretty white 'canvas' or just add a soft touch on it with cream or pastel colors. Or even goes with a  vintage, rustic or earthy concept on your pretty styled white 'canvas' - your gown :)

*P/S: Make sure the types of flowers you select, as most of flowers are in different seasons. Check with your florist on the availability of the flowers you desire on your wedding day.

2) How to hold your bouquet with picture perfect

♥ ones again our bride - Mary prepare to walk down the aisle with her bridal bouquet! ♥ 

If you are holding your bridal bouquet with both hands, always remember to rest both hands down right below your waist, and bouquet at your abdomen area. Most of the time, when brides hold their bouquet with two hands, they tend to carry it quite high which immediately lifts the shoulders up. This will not make a great picture, especially if you are wearing a strapless gown.

♥ Destination bride - Becky with her minimalism satin bridal gown and her beautiful colors bridal bouquet ♥
#cowl #neckline #mildmermaid #satin #weddinggown #beachwedding

If you are holding your bouquet with one hand, make sure you rest your hand slightly away from your gown. Try not to press or squeeze your hand against your gown too near to avoid off balance shoulders. Relax and let your bouquet just sit naturally… doesn't matter the flowers are facing up or down… they'll still look picture perfect anyhow!

Lastly, enjoy your beautiful bouquet! If you are not tossing your bridal bouquet, you can consider preserve it! Let dry your bridal bouquet Or you can choose to do pressed-flowers and turn them in to beautiful bookmarks!

♥ Beautiful pressed flower bookmarks! So much memories ♥
