Less is more. When you’re getting ready put everything on, hat, earrings, rings, bracelet and heels then look long and hard in the mirror and take one thing off.
Discuss your outfit with the other mother of the bride or groom so you can make sure your colours and fabrics work together.
Remember to buy your shoes at least three months before the wedding so you can wear them in. A cushioned insole for the arch and ball of your foot are also a plus.
Always get a second opinion from a trusted friend or family member who can give you their honest feeling on your overall look.
Take the expert advice from the sales team and only look at styles that flatter your figure. Try to show off all your best points.
