The Fear of being Inappropriately Dressed on Wedding

Walking down the aisle in her marvelous atrovirens flailed gown all laced up in gold embroidery and finely cut stone work with contrasting off-white pearls and opals, all of a sudden she realized;

A thousand eyes on her starring in mere shock and some mumbles (“what were she thinking while getting dressed!”) starting to give her a panic attack for her overdressing; her hands trembling, forehead sweaty, knees weak arms heavy and finally she woke up out of her terrible nightmare!

Ha! Ever felt that?
Well I did on our University Alumni Dinner last year ;) 

 

And not just women, even some men suffer from this fear of being improperly dressed on weddings!

Now I remember my brother choosing maroon shirt over the white one with black dress pants on a wedding 4 years back just so people won’t confuse him with waiters, turned out all the waiters also wore maroon shirts that day. (Poor guy! XD)

Today we’re going to talk about how to handle this dilemma like a pro, so here are 7 important tips!

1. Theme

 

                Obviously the first and foremost thing is to check out if there’s a specific wedding theme to follow. If you’re following the theme like everyone else you’re going with the flow!

Now you know what’s the proper dress code, you are free enough to put in some creativity and look unique while fitting in.

2. Gossip Girl

 

We all crave for gossip after certain events or incidents, it’s a part of human mind. It’s like feeding the curiosity with fun! Now you can make use of this trait if you have it, to figure out what everyone else is wearing, can’t you?!

3. All in your head

 

                Now I have given you two very basic tips of how to avoid being over or under-dressed on a wedding that most people fail to consider, it’s time to tell you how to actually handle this dilemma.

That nervousness, anxiety or the overwhelming feeling as most people call it, is actually in your head and that’s all! We fear that people would notice us or we may look awkward and we have all these “what if’s” in our head killing us that we actually mess up our dress-up!

Girl! A lil boost of confidence and a belief that you’re killin’ it is all what you need!

4. Adrenaline hitting in the system

 

You know what the worst part of human brain is?

You feel happy or excited, your heart starts racing and blood pressure increases. You feel nervous or anxious, your heart and blood pressure does the same!

No matter what you are feeling, in both cases your brain is releasing certain hormones and neurotransmitters such as adrenaline causing such physical inflations. Your brain plays games with your body and so you can also play games with your own mind through your body!

As I mentioned earlier, all you need is a little boost of confidence!

 

5. Own your style

 

Ask yourself a simple question;

You know that you’re iklota piece (limited edition). You have your own personality, your own taste and preferences and so your own style!

What other people think of you doesn’t matter.

 

Choose your style and slay like a queen.

6. Gotta impress someone?

Now ask yourself one more question;

This can be the only plausible reason to feel that nervous (ehmm).

If you are really trying to do so then have faith in your beauty and glow!

If you aren’t then still have faith in your beauty and glow! 😉

Still nervous? Why not use a hand!
