Main Tips For The Pregnant Bride
Being pregnant at your own wedding is no easy feat. However, these tips can help you breeze through it all as easy as possible.
- Shopping for the Dress as a Pregnant Bride

It also helps to wear something comfortable and free. If you don’t mind showing your bump, then you can also consider some comfy, stretch material for your wedding dress. - Choose Your Menu Carefully
Pregnancy comes with sensitivity to certain foods and smells, also with a completely new diet that is void of alcohol. So, the menu for the wedding should be considered carefully. The food menu can be altered to accommodate all of the necessary changes. Also, for drinks, mocktails and sodas can be served as opposed to the usual. - Take Comfortable Shoes
Remember to take comfortable shoes, since you will be on your feet for a while and might have to contend with a sore back and swollen feet. Flat, extra wide shoes are best for pregnancies. If you would prefer your heels, pack an extra pair of flats just in case. - Reconsider the First Dance
