    Dress is F327 by Wilderly

    Welcome spring! With the beautiful flowers and warm sunshine after the cold summer months, its sure to cheer us all up! Are you getting married next spring? Well this blog is a perfect read for you. If you’re planning a spring wedding, one of the most exciting tasks on your to-do list is undoubtedly finding the perfect dress. Let’s delve into the enchanting world of spring weddings and explore the ideal dress to complement the season’s magic.

    Embracing the Spirit of Spring:

    Spring symbolizes renewal, growth, and new beginnings. As the flowers begin to blossom there are more vibrant colours around. When envisioning your spring wedding dress, think of elements that echo the spirit of this season. Light, airy fabrics such as chiffon, organza, and lace evoke a sense of softness, allowing you to move with ease as you dance through your special day. 

    Choosing the Right Silhouette:

    The silhouette of your wedding dress sets the tone for your entire look. We always say that comfort is key! For a spring wedding, consider styles that exude softness and romance. A-line and ball gown silhouettes are favourites, due to the effortless, timeless elegance. These styles evoke a sense of ethereal beauty, perfect for a spring bride.

    Incorporating Floral Accents:

    What better way to celebrate the beauty of spring than by incorporating floral accents into your wedding attire? Whether it’s delicate floral lace appliqués, embroidered blooms cascading down your train, or a subtle floral sash cinching your waist, floral details add a whimsical touch to your ensemble. For designers such as Ronald Joyce, Morilee and Allure Bridals they don’t shy away from colours such as blue, green and purple. These designs match up perfectly with spring season! Or opt for soft pastel hues like blush, lavender, or mint to complement the season’s palette and enhance the romantic ambiance of your spring celebration.

    Playing with Color:

    While traditional white and ivory remain timeless choices for wedding gowns, spring weddings offer the perfect opportunity to infuse your attire with a pop of color. Soft pastels, reminiscent of blooming flowers and fresh spring foliage, are a popular choice for spring brides. Consider subtle hints of color in your dress, such as a blush-hued bodice or a pale blue sash, to add a touch of whimsy and personality to your look while staying true to the season’s aesthetic.

    Accessorizing with Nature-Inspired Details:

    Complete your spring wedding look with accessories inspired by the beauty of nature. A delicate floral crown with blossoms and greenery adds a romantic, bohemian vibe to your ensemble, perfect for an outdoor spring affair. Opt for dainty, nature-inspired jewelry such as leaf-shaped earrings or a vine-like bracelet to enhance the organic feel of your look without overpowering your dress.

    At TDR Bridal, we have a range of veils, headwear and jewellery available for TDR Brides to try. 

    Considering Practicality:

    While aesthetics are undoubtedly important, don’t forget to consider practicality when choosing your wedding dress for a spring celebration. Spring weather can be unpredictable, with fluctuating temperatures and the occasional April shower. Opt for a dress with lightweight layers that will keep you comfortable throughout the day, and consider adding a chic bolero or delicate shawl for added warmth during cooler moments.

    Your wedding day is a momentous occasion, and every detail matters. While you have found the perfect wedding dress with us at TDR Bridal Birmingham, it’s equally important to consider the ideal footwear to complete your bridal look. Choosing the right wedding shoes is not only about style but also comfort and practicality. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the process of finding the perfect pair of wedding shoes that will make you feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable from the ceremony to the dance floor.

    Style Meets Comfort

    One of the first considerations when choosing wedding shoes is finding a style that complements your wedding dress. Whether you’re wearing a classic ballgown, a sleek fitted dress, or a boho inspired gown, your shoes should enhance your overall bridal look. Consider elements such as color, material, and heel height to ensure a cohesive and elegant appearance.

    However, style should never compromise comfort on your big day. Remember that you’ll be on your feet for hours, from the ceremony to the reception. Opt for shoes that provide adequate support and cushioning. Many brides choose to have a backup pair of flats or sandals for later in the day to keep their feet feeling fresh.

    Match the Venue

    The choice of wedding shoes should also consider the venue. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, why not wear wedges or block heels to prevent sinking into the grass. For a formal indoor setting, stiletto heels or elegant flats might be more appropriate. Beach weddings often call for barefoot sandals or flat shoes.

    TOP TIP: Have you heard of stiletto stoppers? These are the perfect way to stop you heels sinking into the grass…Shop here at The Tiara Shop By TDR

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/stiletto-stoppers.jpg” alt=”stiletto stoppers” title_text=”stiletto stoppers” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Break Them In” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

    Break Them In

    Once you’ve chosen the perfect pair of wedding shoes, make sure to break them in before the big day. Wear them around the house to help soften any stiff areas and to prevent painful blisters on your wedding day. This also allows you to adjust the fit if necessary and helps you get used to the feel of the shoes.

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/the-perfect-pair-of-wedding-shoes.jpg” alt=”the perfect pair of wedding shoes” title_text=”the perfect pair of wedding shoes” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Here at TDR Bridal,” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

    Think About the Season

    The season and climate of your wedding play a significant role in your choice of shoes. For a summer wedding, breathable materials and open-toe designs will keep your feet cool. In colder months, closed-toe shoes, boots, or even elegant bridal boots can add warmth while maintaining style.

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Think-About-the-Season-of-your-wedding.jpg” alt=”Think About the Season of your wedding-Image by juliavichmann” title_text=”Think About the Season of your wedding-Image by juliavichmann” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Image by @juliavichmann” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

    Personalize Your Shoes

    Consider adding personal touches to your wedding shoes. Many brides choose to have their shoes customized with their names, wedding date, or a special message. This not only adds a unique element to your footwear but also serves as a keepsake from your special day and you will be abel to wear them again!

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Personalize-Your-Shoes.webp” alt=”Personalize Your Shoes” title_text=”Personalize Your Shoes” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Bride wearing Casablanca wedding dress” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

    Budget Wisely

    While it’s tempting to splurge on your wedding shoes, remember that you’ll likely wear them only on this special occasion. Set a budget for your shoes, ensuring that you allocate funds for other essential aspects of your wedding. However, the Jimmy Choos are very tempting…

    Choosing the perfect wedding shoes is a delightful part of preparing for your big day. By balancing style, comfort, and practicality, you can ensure that your shoes not only enhance your bridal look but also allow you to enjoy every moment without foot discomfort. From the venue to the season, these considerations will guide you towards the ideal pair that will make you feel confident as you step into forever. Happy wedding planning!

    For some brides, the idea of a scorching midday wedding under the rare, blazing UK sun is simply unbearable. Instead, they dream of a warm and snug celebration, complete with mulled wine, twinkling fairy lights, and the soft flicker of candles. Picture saying ‘I Do’ in the crisp, chilly air, with the possibility of a gentle snowfall or a majestic snow-capped mountain in the background. Can you envision an intimate gathering with your nearest and dearest, cozied up in front of a roaring fire? If this scenario sounds like your idea of perfection, then you’re in for a treat, because TDR offers an extensive selection of dresses that are incredibly versatile, suitable for all seasons, and especially fitting for a radiant, frosty, and cold winter celebration.

    During the winter season, you’ll find that chiffon takes a backseat, and fabrics like mikado and brocade become more prominent. To keep warm and stylish, you can think about incorporating sleeves or using a cover-up, such as a shrug, jacket, or even a stole. Whether you prefer fixed or removable sleeves, we’re here to collaborate with you, ensuring your wedding day look is nothing short of perfection, regardless of your chosen setting!

    Q: My mother-in-law-to-be is really controlling and is insisting on coming to my dress appointment as well as inviting three of her closest friends to the wedding. I don’t want her involvement. Help!
    Jennie, Shropshire, by DM

    A: Weddings can be a really tricky time because everyone wants to be involved, especially if they’re related, or will be once you’re married. My advice to avoid a wedding dilemma would be to think about the long term with this. Your mother-in-law is likely to become an important part of your marriage and, while throughout your married life, the truth is, you will have some disagreements with her, she could also become your best ally and an important means of support, especially if children come along. So I would say, try to involve her as much as possible, even though it might grate a little – just let her have her time too as no doubt her friend will be asking about your wedding plans and it will be a big topic of conversation for her, as it will be your own Mum. Try to see that she longs to feel a part of it, she wants to be your friend and she wants to be involved and feel involved and helpful.

    As a Mum myself, I understand that she wants to invite her closest friends – it’s her son, remember, as well as your fiancé and, if you’ve not had children yet, it’s hard to explain the bond a mum and son have. Maybe you should look at it another way, she’s raised the man of your dreams, try and empathise with her and understand the emotions that she will be going through as well as being thankful that you’ve found such a wonderful person to marry.

    If finances make it difficult to invite her friends, then maybe have a quiet chat with her, just generally, about how much everything is costing – you never know, she might take the hint and help financially too! That said, it’s a fine line between being able to feel involved and being in control, so always be firm, honest and fair, especially with your choice of dress, but let her be involved, it’ll pay off long term, I promise!

    Q: I am really not looking forward to trying on dresses – I am the heaviest I have ever been. I have a year to go – what should I do?
    Michele, Norwich, by email

    A: Oh my darling! I get asked this so much! My answer is always the same, please please don’t put off dress shopping just because you’re not feeling 100%. Wedding dresses take at least five months to arrive from the order date and sometimes up to nine or 10 months, depending on the Designer. Your wedding dress, when you choose it, will make you feel beautiful in every way, regardless of your size, it’s like no other purchase you will EVER make, it’s something really special and very emotional. If you put off going wedding dress shopping you will end up having to compromise on your dream dress because the shop you choose simply won’t be able to get it into the store in time for you. My advice would be to go shopping, embrace who you are and just go with it. This way you will be able to have the full choice of dresses available to you and your dress can be altered to fit you (by a couple of sizes usually) so even if you do lose weight, it can still be fitted to fit you perfectly. So get out there and get shopping! You’ll thank me for this advice nearer your wedding – promise!

    Q I am only two months into planning but already sick of all the politics. Should we just go abroad and get it done with a few of our nearest and dearest?
    Ellen, Devon, by DM

    A: Ah, the wonderful world of weddings! Everyone and anyone has an opinion and they all feel entitled to voice it! Ultimately, it will calm down (and then ramp up again nearer the date, probably!) but do what feels right for you and your partner. A wedding abroad can be wonderful if you choose the right venue and suppliers out there, so if you do go down this route, do your research thoroughly. The only thing I would say is be sensitive to the fact that some of your nearest and dearest might not fly, due to age, fear or illness, so be mindful of this and make sure you can have those all-important people there at your wedding day.

    If you have any questions to ask Rebecca, pop them on the TDR Brides Facebook group or email us at marketing@tdr-bridal.co.uk and we will get them answered ASAP!

  • Can you give your wedding band a dress code?

    Can you give your wedding band a dress code?

    [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”There are so many things to consider” sticky_enabled=”0″]

    There are so many things to consider when it comes to planning your dream wedding. From cake to flowers, dresses to centrepieces, many couples will work hard to ensure that everything has a clear colour scheme or theme in order to create a harmonious aesthetic. You may even go as far as commissioning custom pieces to ensure that everything is exactly the way you want.

    But what should you do when it comes to your wedding band? Most couples will choose to hire some kind of musician for their reception, to get their guests up and dancing the night away. But what if they come in jeans and shirts when you’ve opted for a very clear formal dress code? Can you step in? Let’s take a look at how to tackle this difficult question.

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Boujee-Music.jpg” alt=”Boujee Music” title_text=”Boujee Music” show_bottom_space=”off” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Boujee Music” sticky_enabled=”0″]

    Set the formality, not the attire

    Firstly, it’s good to understand that it’s very hard to actually dictate what your wedding band wears. You’re paying for their musical services, not their outfits, meaning it’s unreasonable to expect them to wear exactly what you want and pay for this out of their own pockets. If every couple did this, they’d not make any money, not to mention the fact that it’s wasteful.

    However, you could possibly set the level of formality by sharing what you’ve put as the dress code for your guests. Most bands will instinctively wear formal clothing for a wedding, since most celebrations do follow this dress code, but if you make it clear then they’ll know what to wear for the big day.

    Politely request a theme

    If you’re having a uniquely themed wedding, you could let your band know so that they have the chance to dress up if they want to. Remember, there is no obligation, but by sharing this information ahead of time you can gauge whether they’re open to it. Particularly if it’s just a colour scheme, they may already have options in their wardrobe they can choose from.

    If you’re planning something dramatic like a steampunk wedding, you may have to accept that most people don’t have accessories for this style lying around. In this case, you should cover any costs – don’t expect a whole outfit, but you could buy finishing touches such as hats or bow ties which tie their existing outfits into the theme. Again, remember there is no obligation for your band to wear these, especially if they feel it will hamper their performance.

    Alternatively, get permission from the band to dress up the stage, instead of them. By using clever decor, you can tie this into your theme, and avoid any extra expense to your band.

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/wedding-musicians.jpg” alt=”wedding musicians” title_text=”wedding musicians” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Be clear from the outset” sticky_enabled=”0″]

    Be clear from the outset

    Ultimately, you’re paying your band to play, rather than look perfect in your photos. However, many wedding musicians may be open to a dress code in order to keep you happy. Make sure that you talk to bands early in the wedding planning process and mention your preferred dress code from the outset so that they have time to think about it and prepare.

    Congratulations…You’re Engaged!
    This is where the real fun begins, and we are SO excited to be part of this very special journey. Once you have decided to book your wedding dress experience at TDR Bridal Birmingham to find your ONE, you may have a few questions and we are here to help answer them…

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/TDR-team-appointment.jpg” alt=”TDR team appointment” title_text=”TDR team appointment” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”I’ve booked my TDR appointment, what now?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”5em||5em||true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”4em||4em||true|false” custom_margin_phone=”3em||3em||true|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

    I’ve booked my TDR appointment, what now?

    Once you have booked your first wedding dress appointment with TDR Bridal Birmingham you will receive an email notification with a link to our very own Private Client Portal where you can view all our wedding dresses with their prices and you can favourite the ones that you love, so that your stylist can see the dresses you like before your appointment. This will help prepare you in becoming familiar with the wedding dress styles we have and start giving you an idea of what style you may like! However, it is important to note that if you don’t know what style you like, this is fine!!! Most brides will not know what style they love until they begin trying and until your stylist can begin to guide you through this very new journey… and that is ok. Our advice is to be open-minded!

     

    Who do I bring?

    When shopping for your wedding dress is it important to bring those with you that will help you make the important decision of choosing your dress. Often, you can feel as though you don’t want to ‘leave anybody out’ and we completely get this, this is a new journey for you and you want to make sure everyone is involved BUT, it is so important to remember that this is YOUR day, YOUR dress and you must choose the dress that feels right for YOU and YOU only. When bringing an entourage of people, often there can be an overwhelming amount of opinions and it can be difficult to stay focused and be in touch with your feelings, so it is our advice to think very wisely about who you choose to bring with you.
    However, we do offer an ‘open door policy’ here at TDR which means you can visit us as many times as you like to try on your dress, so you are more than welcome to bring your friends, family, bridesmaids etc. to TDR Bridal Birmingham to show off your gorgeous dress, once you have chosen!

     

    Set a budget!

    Every single bride has a budget and no matter what this is, it’s still very important to set this, so that you have something to stick to. Your stylist will want you to communicate this budget with them so that when they are choosing gowns for you, they can be respectful of your budget, the last thing we want to do is pick a gown out of your price range.
    Just to give you an idea of pricing, our dress prices start at around £800 and go up to £3500 with the average price of our dresses are £1500-£1800. Alterations are always a separate charge on top of the price of your dress, so always allow for this within your budget!

    Sizing

    Please don’t worry about sample sizing, we are an inclusive bridal shop and ensure our sample sizes range from size 8 to size 32, with over 80 dresses Size 18 and above, so we really do have every style from sleeved to low-back to long train wedding dresses to fitted to princess ball gowns, all in a wide variety of sizes. You must also remember that these samples are just for you to try on, not the actual dress you buy. The process for sizing is that we will measure you and order your dress to your nearest size, we have dress clamps, pins and panels to ensure we can fit you into our sample as best as possible so you can visualize your dress!

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/measure-your-dress-size.jpg” alt=”measure your dress size” title_text=”measure your dress size” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Who will help me?” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”5em||5em||true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”4em||4em||true|false” custom_margin_phone=”3em||3em||true|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]

    Who will help me?

    We have over 600 beautiful wedding gowns in store and it can feel extremely overwhelming when you first begin, some brides either relish in the opportunity to have so many dresses to try on, however, there are other brides that will feel quite daunted by this and not know where to start, but this is what your stylist is there for! Again, we know this is a new experience for our brides, this is why our advice is to let your stylist guide you. Start by choosing the dresses that stand out to you, try different styles (even just to rule certain styles out) and then, by this stage, your stylist will have begun understanding your style preferences, needs and how to dress your body and you will be amazed at how easy this process becomes.

    Let’s Talk Underwear

    There is no set rule to underwear, but our recommendation is nude, seamless underwear. You can opt for a strapless bra, however, this is usually not required when trying dresses on as most bridal gowns will already have a built-in bra.

    [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/try-and-find-your-perfect-style-rotated.jpg” alt=”try and find your perfect style” title_text=”try and find your perfect style” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”What if I don’t know what I like?” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”5em||5em||true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”4em||4em||true|false” custom_margin_phone=”3em||3em||true|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]

    What if I don’t know what I like?

    If you are a bride that has scrolled the internet to try and find your perfect style but still hasn’t got an idea of what style to go for, how to fit your style in with your venue.
    what shape will suit your body etc. THIS IS NORMAL! It is totally fine to feel this way, sometimes this is often better. Sometimes brides can get fixated on a certain style of dress and when they try this style on, it may not particularly suit them and they struggle with this concept, so, our advice is to always be open minded, be open to trying new styles and be open to taking advice from your stylist.
