Any way you look at it, the bride is the most important part of a wedding. Of course a wedding is just about the groom as it is about the bride – since they’re taking the plunge together – and the guests themselves should be considered of importance as well, since they’re there to enjoy the ceremony and the reception and have to be comfortable and taken care of. But when it comes to the imagery that people will have of the wedding and the things that they’ll remember the most of that wedding, the bride, her dress and the overall way she looks takes center stage. We have experience in attending several weddings, definitely much more than the average person attends in their entire lifetime, and we have an eye for just about anything in the wedding. But even we save, as the first impression to the wedding, the picture of the bride in her dress.
That’s why there are people who say that the bride’s wedding earrings can be as important as the entire venue where the reception takes place. And people who are well off and throw really expensive weddings may spend close to that in the earrings and other smaller decorative pieces.
