I Want to Walk Beautifully in My Wedding Dress!

"I want to wear my favorite wedding dress and walk beautifully!"

Every bride must feel this way＊

However, in reality, walking in a wedding dress can be quite challenging.

You might step on the hem with your heels, feel uneasy about your feet, and end up slouching, or when you lift the dress too much, the petticoat may become visible...

The "walking posture" and "behavior" in a wedding dress can be difficult.

Therefore, it's important to grasp the key points and prepare well in advance of the wedding◎

So this time, we will introduce how to walk and behave in a wedding dress!

Let’s make sure to catch all the important points so that you can showcase a beautiful appearance on the big day!♩

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ① Walk as if Pushing the Dress Forward

When walking in a wedding dress, it’s correct to walk as if you are pushing the dress forward◎

Step forward slowly while gently pushing the dress, then step back a bit to avoid stepping on the hem＊

People often say "kick the hem while walking," but if you kick too much, it may make noise or cause the skirt to sway excessively, so be cautious.

Walking with the image of gently pushing forward allows you to walk without stepping on the skirt and presents an elegant appearance♩

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ② Keep Your Back Straight

Keeping your posture straight is also an important point in a wedding dress.

If you slouch, not only does it not look beautiful, but it also lowers the position of the skirt, making it harder to walk.

Therefore, when walking in a wedding dress, it’s important to stand tall and keep your back straight◎

When straightening your back, focus on these three points＊

☑ Engage your abdomen and glutes

☑ Be conscious of placing your center of gravity on your pelvis

☑ Keep your shoulders slightly back to avoid rounding

It’s suggested that the position just after swinging your arms back is the best for your shoulders＊

Before entering, try rotating your shoulders back once to align your posture, ensuring you can maintain a beautiful stance♩

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ③ Look Ahead, Not at Your Feet

Another point to remember when walking in a wedding dress is to look ahead rather than at your feet!

Just like when you slouch, looking down will lower the skirt and make walking difficult.

Additionally, looking down can harm your posture and may lead to double chins, resulting in poor photos…

Let’s keep our gaze forward and aim to be a bride exuding a dignified presence◎

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ④ Take Small Steps

When walking in a wedding dress, it’s also a point to take smaller steps!

Taking larger steps can be difficult with high heels and might give off a clumsy impression due to the wide strides.

So, when wearing a wedding dress, it's recommended to take smaller steps than usual!

Walk gently with compact steps◎

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ⑤ Walk Slowly

In addition to small steps, walking slowly is another key point＊

If you walk quickly, your movements won’t look graceful, and guests may not get a good view of the groom and bride.

Remember, everyone at the wedding has come to see the happy couple♩

Walk slowly, almost exaggeratedly, and showcase your beautiful moments with gentle movements＊

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ⑥ Hold the Bouquet In Front of Your Belly Button

When holding the bouquet, it’s most aesthetically pleasing to do so in front of your belly button!

If held in front of your chest, it can give off a somewhat childish impression and hide the design on the neckline of the dress.

On the other hand, if you hold it below your belly button, it makes your figure look less flattering and can appear saggy.

Thus, the trick to making the wedding bouquet look beautiful is to hold it in front of your belly button!

Keep this in mind so that you can maintain this position at all times◎

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ⑦ Avoid Flattening Your Arms

It’s also crucial to be mindful of not flattening your arms when in a wedding dress!

Many wedding dresses expose the arms, so if you’re not careful, they can cling tightly to your body, making your arms appear thicker.

Many former brides regret having their arms flattened and looking bulky...

Therefore, it’s recommended to keep your arms slightly away from your body＊

Particularly during moments like the cake-cutting or while watching relaxed moments in footage, be cautious!

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ⑧ Keep Your Fingers Together

Whether you're linking arms with your partner, being escorted, during the cake cutting, or while reading the bride's letter, keeping your "fingers together" is also a trick to look beautiful◎

This part is often seen and photographed, so be aware and strive for elegant behavior down to your fingertips♩

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ⑨ Coordinate the Angle and Timing When Bowing with the Groom

When bowing with the groom, coordinating the angle and timing will make it look beautiful◎

☑ Bow at an angle between 15 to 45 degrees, bending from the waist while keeping your back straight

☑ "1・2・3 seconds" for "lowering, holding at the lowest point, raising"

Align these two actions with your partner＊

It's important to be conscious of synchronizing while bowing, but also practice ahead of time is recommended♩

Walking and Behavior Points in a Wedding Dress ⑩ Sit Shallowly

The final point I’ll share is that when sitting, you should sit shallowly＊

Sitting with your back straight looks more graceful; if you sit deeply, you might lean back, which doesn’t give a beautiful impression.

So, sit shallowly while keeping your back straight to maintain an elegant look◎

Additionally, if the groom sits deeply, it could cause the bride's face to appear larger compared to the groom's face, which could be awkward.

Therefore, it’s a good idea to inform the groom in advance: "Make sure to sit shallowly and keep your back straight too＊"
