Posture and Behavior Hold the Key to the Bride's Beauty ♡
With the dress, hair accessories, nails, and makeup all set to make the bride look beautiful ♡ But have you forgotten something? In fact, posture and behavior are incredibly important for making the bride look stunning ♡
Just the difference between a rounded back and a straight back can make a huge impact on how beautiful the dress looks and how the photos turn out. Let's master graceful movements by the day of the wedding and become the most elegant bride ♩
The Key to Becoming a Beautiful Bride is Posture ♩
The beauty of your standing and sitting posture is equivalent to the beauty of the bride herself... ♩ By mastering the basic postures that will be introduced, you can achieve a model-like beautiful dress appearance ♡
Open your chest wide as if drawing your shoulder blades together and try to keep both shoulders against a wall. Aim for enough space at your back for one palm to fit. If you engage your abdominal muscles to lift your rib cage, your bust will also lift and create a defined body shape ♩
Beautiful Bride's Posture - A-Line and Princess Line Edition ~
For dresses with a flared shape like A-line or princess line, the key point is to "chest up." Bring your shoulder blades together and open up the decolletage line ♩ Make sure both shoulders are at the same height and slightly arch your upper body backward, almost exaggeratedly. This will enhance the beauty of the dress’s flare ♡
Beautiful Bride's Posture - Mermaid Line and Slender Line Edition ~
For slender dress types like the mermaid line, unlike flared dresses, the point is "not to over-arch the upper body." Keep your back straight and engage your hips to maintain balance, which will create a beautiful S-curve ♡
Beautiful Bride's Posture - Japanese Kimono Edition ~
The basic posture for kimono and dress is completely different. For kimono, the first step is to place your feet in a "figure-eight" formation. Try to place your weight near the groin area, especially the base of the big toe, with a slightly pigeon-toed stance ♩ Imagine leaning forward a bit as you shift your weight, keeping your chin tucked and your face up ♡
Additionally Master: The Beautiful Bride's Walking Style ♡
Imagine sliding your feet so that you don’t step on the hem of the dress; place your feet from the toes down to the floor as you walk ♩ When stepping out, be conscious of your knee hitting a certain point to make your walk more beautiful and elegant ♡
The keywords are "slowly, gracefully, one step at a time" ♡ A slightly slower pace is surprisingly just right. If you lower your gaze too much, you are more likely to step on the hem of your dress. While walking down the aisle, keep your gaze slightly ahead and look at the groom waiting at the front ♡
For kimono, slightly bend your knees and keep your center of gravity low ♩ Walk with slightly pigeon-toed feet and take smaller steps ♡ Aim to keep your head at a constant height without bouncing as you walk slowly ♩
The groom should walk half a step to a full step ahead of the bride. Be sure to decide in advance which foot to start with ♩ The entrance scene of the couple is a focal point for guests, so pay attention to how you intertwine your arms. The groom should position his thumb outward, bending his elbow to about 90 degrees, while the bride lightly rests her hand on the groom's arm ♡
If you accidentally step on the hem of the dress, remain calm, lift the foot that got caught, and start walking again. Avoid moving backward or suddenly changing direction, and aim for a smooth motion ♩
Beautiful Bride's Bouquet Holding Style ♡
Hold the bouquet with your left hand, placing your thumb along the stem and lightly resting your right hand on it ♡ Holding the bouquet at a height slightly below the navel looks beautiful, so aim for that position ♩ If you can hold it so that your head, elbows, and bouquet form a diamond shape, you will be perfect ◎
Even in group photos, not relaxing is the secret to being a wonderful bride ♡ Keep your face facing forward, and slightly angle your upper body by pulling one shoulder back to create a beautiful waistline and dress flow ♩
Master Posture and Behavior to Become a Perfectly Beautiful Bride ♡
The beauty of your posture and behavior makes both the dress and the bride herself appear more beautiful and more elegant ♩ Review thoroughly, and aim to be a beautiful bride visible from every angle ♡
