“1. This is not the time to try something crazy new. Go back to those dresses that made you feel radiant. That’s the style you love & feel most confident in. 2. For dress fittings either go alone or with someone you trust implicitly (mom, sister, best friend). Not a crowd. 3. Don’t be scared to disagree with your dress maker! You’re paying for it. 4. If possible, do a hair and make up trial to get an idea of the full look. Game changer. Oh yes, and shoes! 5. Practice dancing, walking and sitting in your dress. You want to be comfortable. 6. If you feel stressed, remember the bigger picture, you’re marrying your soul mate. It’s only a dress after all. 7. ENJOY! Take in every moment.”
Tamaryn and her husband Zesimdumise ‘Ze’ Nxumalo recently celebrated one year of marriage together and have been happily in love since day one.
