If you've decided to get married, you already know it will be a truly unique moment that deserves to be lived intensely surrounded by the people you love.
Why people are getting married in 2025
The main reasons that drive couples to marry in modern times are a continued belief in family traditions and the desire to share their plans through a life journey centered on "us." Because a life lived alongside a loved one takes on a different flavor.
For the bride , then, arriving at the altar in her wedding dress , creating a party with her loved ones to celebrate the realization of her great love, is something unique.
Things to know and plan before getting married
To organize your wedding without any hitches or tensions, it's important to plan for every eventuality, including bureaucratic formalities.
The first thing to know about is the publication of the banns, a mandatory procedure that precedes the formalization of the marriage and is one of the essential documents for celebrating the wedding with either a civil or religious rite .
The purpose of the publication of the wedding banns is to ensure that the spouses possess all the legal requirements necessary to proceed with the celebrations and must be requested by the couple themselves from the Civil Status Officer in the Municipality where the two interested parties reside or from one of the two at least a couple of months before the wedding date.
The banns will then be posted in both of the couple's municipalities, which, if they are different, will extend the posting time. If the couple is getting married in a religious ceremony , the municipality will require a request from the priest for the banns to be posted, which is an additional step compared to a civil ceremony.
Civil rite and religious rite
Many couples now choose a civil ceremony , either because they lack religious beliefs or to consolidate their marriage in a single authorized location. Generally speaking, the procedure for celebrating a civil wedding is simpler and more straightforward than the more elaborate religious one.
A religious ceremony requires fulfilling a series of requirements established by one's religion, including respecting the sacredness of the place hosting the ceremony. Exchanging rings and saying the fateful "I do" forever before God is an indescribable emotion for those who believe in it.
Things to Avoid if You're the Bride
To ensure everything goes as planned, it would be best to avoid letting relatives influence your arrangements, and not necessarily follow the advice of mothers, aunts, fathers, or other loved ones.
If you've decided to get married in the summer, it's best to choose an exclusive location and plan your makeup artist and hairstylist well in advance.
Finally, the most useful advice is to always rely on serious professionals who not only know how to do their job well but are also able to find quick and effective solutions to any unexpected issues.
In-depth: How to choose the right location
Choosing the wedding dress
When it comes to dresses, the timing of your search is highly subjective, but generally speaking, it's best to start your search 6 to 12 months in advance. If you're looking for a ready-to-wear dress, 4 to 6 months in advance is fine, making sure the atelier's tailors are available for any quick alterations.
But how do you choose? Clearly, the best choice is to choose a dress that fits your body shape, so you can enhance your figure while respecting your body shape and fashion tastes .
In-depth analysis: what is body shape?
2025 trends include dresses that embrace transparency like never before. Lightweight, sheer fabrics , such as tulle and organza, are used to create ethereal and refined effects, like our princess dress in glitter tulle with silver lace-up .
Brides in 2025 aren't afraid to dare with plunging necklines and plunging slits. These bold elements enhance femininity and sensuality, allowing the bride to feel confident and captivating. Whether it's a V-neck or a deep side slit , the important thing is that it reflects the bride 's personality, like our white glitter mermaid dress , so unique it can be worn as an evening gown.
The change of clothes
The desire to change and wear a second wedding dress has become an increasingly popular trend among brides-to-be around the world, but it must be thought out and studied down to the smallest detail.
One of the most common reasons a bride chooses to wear two wedding dresses on her wedding day is undoubtedly the wow factor she wants to achieve in front of the groom and guests. The entrance in the magnificent gown that is so admired can be repeated twice throughout the day, making you even more of a star.
There are three ideal times to change your dress: during the cake cutting, during the reception after the wedding ceremony, or during the closing celebrations.
A tip: changing your dress doesn't necessarily have to include changing your accessories and shoes. You can choose two wedding dresses that match the same accessories and shoes, but you can choose two wedding dresses that match the same accessories you'll be wearing throughout the day.
The ideal is to choose two wedding dresses that complement each other, that are in keeping with the style of the event and that demonstrate a different importance depending on the time of day you decide to change.
Our advice: to avoid making a change of outfit a stressful experience, or if you want to dare to wear something other than white, you can opt for a transformer dress that will transform your outfit in just a few steps.

The general advice that applies to all brides (whether they choose one or two dresses to wear for their wedding) is to choose a style that enhances them and makes them feel comfortable, also providing matching dresses for the bridesmaids and always in a tone that does not overwhelm the bride's own.
Choosing the shoe
If closed shoes were once obligatory, regardless of the period in which the wedding was celebrated, today even bridal ballet flats, peep-toe shoes with or without platforms, jeweled bridal sandals , ankle boots and above all bridal sneakers have forcefully entered the fashion and customs of the most modern wives-to-be.
One thing's for sure: your wedding shoes should be comfortable, especially since they'll be worn all day. They should also be appropriate for the time of year and location, but above all, they should match the dress in terms of color, fabric, and style.
As for colors, wedding shoes should preferably match the wedding dress in both fabric and color, so they don't necessarily have to be white.
The heel , however, whether stiletto, cone, spool, square, rounded or of another type, must not be too high and in any case must never make you taller than the groom.
A tip: choosing tan or leather shoes rather than colored or fabric ones will make it easier to reuse them even after the wedding, perhaps with a suit or even jeans.
What should a bride traditionally wear?
The inevitable amulets required by tradition are something old (a symbol of continuity with the past and a bond with the family of origin), something new as the beginning of a new life, something borrowed to remind the bride that she can always count on family and friends, and something blue, a symbol of fidelity.
You may not know: who gets in the car with the bride? The bride has the place of honor, so in a ceremonial car driven by a chauffeur (not the couple), she will sit in the back seat on the right, while the chaperone (father, brother, relative, or anyone) will sit on her left, escorting her to the altar.
