Toronto Wedding Dress Styling Tips from Behnaz Morovati

Behnaz believes that bridal styling is about balance, comfort, and emotion. Here’s what she recommends for brides planning their weddings in Toronto or across Canada:

1. Fit Comes First

“Even the most expensive dress won’t look right if it doesn’t fit your body.”

Always plan time for professional alterations. Don’t rely on the fit straight off the rack.
Book your first fitting at least 8 weeks before your wedding.
Bring your shoes, bra, and shapewear to every appointment.

2. Don’t Overdo Accessories

“Sometimes one detail is enough. You don’t need sparkle everywhere.”

If your gown is heavily beaded, skip the statement necklace.
For minimalist dresses, add a bold bridal belt or detailed veil.
Always try your accessories with your hairstyle in advance.

3. Layering is Key in Canadian Weather

Especially in Toronto, weather can be unpredictable:

For winter weddings, Behnaz recommends faux fur shawls, long gloves, and heavy satin fabrics.
For summer ceremonies, choose light fabrics like chiffon or silk and keep accessories breathable.
Always have a plan B for unexpected rain or wind.

4. Your Comfort = Your Confidence

“You won’t enjoy your wedding if you’re uncomfortable. The right dress lets you breathe and move.”

Practice sitting, walking, and hugging in your dress during fittings.
Make sure your shoes and undergarments won’t cause pain or restriction.
Never wear something just because it’s trendy — stay true to your personality.

5. Trust the Mirror (Not Just the Photos)

Behnaz reminds brides that mirrors tell the truth, while photos are just snapshots.

Take pictures from different angles during fittings, but also look at yourself in motion.
How you feel in the dress often says more than how it looks in a picture.
