Nothing is gonna beat the excitement of beautiful brides other than stepping out for buying wedding lehenga to walk down the aisle with the dream man. As You have finally chosen the wedding lehenga after trying so many outfits but your task doesn’t finish here until you get a perfect fit and feel comfortable adorning it to envision yourself as a gorgeous bride. Unlike other attires, you won’t get wedding lehenga ready to wear straight after you purchase as it needs several alternations and fitting. Make sure to keep these important things in mind and check minor details when you go for a first bridal fitting.
• Right Lingerie- Make sure to wear the same lingerie that you are planning to wear at your wedding day when you give measurements for the blouse to avoid any sort of surprise later. It would be a good idea to buy them earlier before you go to a seamstress for a perfect fit. Buy same colour of lingerie else you can ask for the blouse made with cups attached to remove your extra stress.
• Everyone knows bridal lehengas are heavy. Lehengas come up with hooks zips attached that hold up your heavy embellished lehenga. When you try your lehenga, make sure the Dori holding latkan not playing any role to hold your lehenga in place. If your lehenga is slipping down until you don’t tie your strings (Dori), ask your seamstress to tighten it with hooks and zips as you can’t rely on Doris to hold your heavy lehenga in place. Hence, make sure hooks and zips are enough.
• Check comfort while sitting- Mostly brides commit the common blunder. They twirl themselves in front of the mirror but forget to sit to check the comfortness. Indian weddings require a bride to sit on the sofa or on the floor (Sikh brides) so always remember to sit in during the first fitting session to ensure yourself how your outfit fits. Ask for the alternations if it makes your stomach bulge, lehenga is too tight around the hips or blouse makes your chest pops up.
• Bridal shoes- Buy your wedding shoes before and carry them when you go for fittings as heels play an important role to decide the length of your lehenga. Wear the same height if you haven’t got the chance to shop for the desired heels when you go for a first fitting.
• Check the dupattas- it is necessary to check the drapes in your first fitting to seal that gorgeous bridal look of yourself. Check how you want to drape your dupatta? Would you like to go with one dupatta or two? Are you comfortable carrying the weight on your head? Sometimes a dupatta makes you feel restless because of being heavy.
• Bring Accessories- Don’t forget to carry the wedding accessories along with you if you have purchased them. Wear it when you try your outfit to check if these accessories or family heirloom is in sync with wedding lehenga to get the accurate idea.
• Express the smallest details in first fitting clearly so that you can get that royal princess look in your wedding. Take enough photos with the help of good photographer friend to check if you lack any important detail which you might forget to pay attention in excitement or anxiety.
