Although sleeker fits have been at the forefront of bridal fashion trends in recent years, ballgown wedding dresses hold their charms as strong as ever. When it comes to bridalwear, ballgowns are probably the most sought-after style. Ask around, and most of the women will reveal that in their wedding fantasies, they often visualize themselves gliding along the aisles in a regal, most elaborate, Cindrella style outfit with the most lavish embellishment and an extra-long train, sweeping the church floor. You see, for most of the brides around the world, the larger-than-life silhouette of a ballgown is synonymous with glamour and elegance. And given the sheer beauty of this style, they are justified in their thinking. You can check out some really alluring ballgown styles on our website here: https://bianco-evento.com/en/dresses/view-by-silhoutte/ball-gown.html.

However, practically speaking, with their elaborate, voluminous design, ballgowns can be a little problematic. The sheer volume of the bell-shaped skirt of these wedding gowns makes it difficult for brides to move freely. Saying hello to guests and dancing is not easy in this type of gown. Also, brides should consider their height and shape before choosing this silhouette. For petite brides, an elaborate design may be too much to handle. Having said that, you do not get to wear such a regal outfit many times in your lifetime. Your wedding gives you just the right excuse to dress up like a queen. Hence, there is no reason to give up on your dream of donning a fairy tale outfit on the most memorable day of your life. With a few little adjustments and smart planning, you can make things easier for yourself. Here is how to go about it:

Start from the bottom up

Be mindful of your shoes. The moment you decide to opt for a ballgown style, start researching the right footwear to suit your outfit. We know that only a Cinderella-style, diamond-encrusted, pearl-embellished, gold-trimmed, dainty pair of shoes pop into your mind when you think of the right match for your beautiful ballgown. Unfortunately, that will be a wrong choice as the flowy hemline of your gown and the decorative stones on your shoes will clash. Tripping-over and damage to the dress will be the two most predictable outcomes. A piece of advice from the experts of our production team – choose a fuss-free style that will not get entangled with the hemline of your dress or the train, allowing you to walk freely. A bridal pump or sandal in satin can be the perfect match. You can take a look at our bridal shoe line-up at Avalia.co which includes premium wedding shoes in a wide range of styles. If you are not habituated to walking in stilettos, then opt for box heels. Want the utmost comfort? If you happen to be the experimental type, you can even opt for bridal sneakers! Wondering who wears sneakers with a gown? Rihanna does. If you think you can carry this ballgown-sneaker look with confidence, then wear it on your wedding day for maximum comfort. If not, go for a more conventional option of bridal pumps or bridal sandals.

Remember, you are not going to stand all the time

On the wedding day, the limelight will be on YOU - the bride. You will be expected to move around and mingle. A hello here, a shaking hand there. You may not be able to sit at all before the grand feast starts. Then, there is the dance to keep in mind. Above all, one or more loo visits to factor in. What advice do our experts have to offer? Practice, practice, practice. Stand up and sit down. Check what effect does it have on your fabric. Does it crease easily? Does the corset hurt in certain postures? Get the fit corrected. Walk in front of a life-size mirror to see how the hemline behaves with your strides. Get the length adjusted, accordingly.

Secret twists

In our friend circle, we all have that genius that has his/her ways with knives and measuring tapes. Engage that friend to make some discreet adjustments to your wedding gowns. For example, a secret pocket inside the skirt, an extra couple of buttons on the back, elastic sewn around the waist and so on. Options can be as many as your imagination. These personalized adjustments will let you enjoy all attention without constantly fearing a trip-over, wardrobe malfunction and likes.

Last but not the least

Winter wedding season is almost here. Why don’t you choose a long sleeve ballgown for your Big Day? They can go a long way to keep you cosy and comfortable on a chilly wedding day. What is more? Complementing the short corset and a flowy skirt, long sleeves will give your limbs a long and slender appearance. If you choose a lace-embellished number, believe us, you are sure to look like a queen. Do not overdo with a lot of jewellery pieces; your outfit alone will help you shine bright.
