It is time for you to walk down the aisle to the love of your life and you're the centre of attraction. It's likely that you become fidgety about your big walk. To have a smooth and beautiful walk, here are 5 tips that can help:
- A good arm lock: If you are going down the aisle on the arms of your escort (your father, brother, sister or anyone of your choosing) then it is important to have a firm arm lock. Your escort can help steady your stance and steps especially if you are extremely nervous.
- Don't be rigid: Maintain a good posture by walking up straight; it shows that you're confident. Brides tend to hunch over without even knowing it until they see pictures. Make sure your bouquet and dress are not heavy as they may tend to weigh on you. Walk with poise and intention. It's your big day after all.
- Hold Your Bouquet right: As trivial as this may seem, holding your bouquet right helps your arm and posture. Make sure your bouquet is not held too high or too low; holding it right in the middle i.e. below your belly button is perfect. It gives you a graceful look.
- Mind your dress: To have a perfect walk, you need to be cognizant of your dress so that you do not trip on them. Take each step cautiously especially when your dress is very long. To have a stress free walk, you can rehearse walking with your dress and shoes on. Do not wait till the wedding day to know if you will feel any discomfort or not.
- Smile: Never forget to smile, walking down the aisle is not as difficult as you might think. Worry less and think of the happy moment in front of you. You will find a lot of confidence and happiness when you look into the eyes of your beau and loved ones.
The best thing to do is to practice your aisle walk at least once before the wedding day. You can even lock eyes with your man as that will help reduce nervousness and give you the adrenaline that you need. Remember to always look straight ahead and not at your feet.
