Posture and Etiquette for Brides Walking in Their Wedding Dresses
Every person may only get married once in their lifetime, and thus may only wear a wedding dress once. As such, few brides fully understand the posture and etiquette required when walking in a wedding dress. KDL Weddings, a professional company providing wedding dress rental services in Hong Kong, has compiled the following guidelines on posture and etiquette for brides walking in their wedding dresses:
1. Bride's Gait Norms
Brides should adopt different walking styles depending on whether they are wearing a wedding dress with or without a petticoat. When wearing a dress with a petticoat, the feet should be about two fists apart while walking, with the toes lightly lifted as if gently lifting the hem of the skirt, resembling the light-footed gait of a duckling. In contrast, when wearing a dress without a petticoat, one should walk in a straight line, using a model's "T" step, with knees slightly turned inward and toes touching the ground. The stride should maintain rhythm, showcasing an elegant demeanor.
2. Correct Posture for Holding the Bouquet
The bride should hold the bouquet at the navel level, with the hand holding the flowers curved as if grasping an object the size of a fist. This posture is both elegant and comfortable.
3. Coordination of the Bride and Groom's Steps
When entering the hall arm in arm, the bride and groom should keep their steps in sequence and rhythm. The groom should walk about half a step ahead of the bride (approximately 15 centimeters) to ensure harmonious unification of their steps.
4. Standing Posture for the Bride and Groom
When standing arm in arm, the couple should slightly lean inward in an "eight" shape, with feet positioned like models in a "T" step, chest out and shoulders down, gazing directly ahead at about 15 meters distance, displaying confidence and solemnity.
5. Arm-in-arm Posture for the Bride and Groom
The groom's hand should be lightly clenched into a fist and placed at the navel level, while the bride should gently hook her arm around the crook of the groom's elbow. Throughout this process, both should maintain a stable posture, avoiding any midway changes or relaxation.
6. Sitting Etiquette for the Bride and Groom
When sitting, the bride and groom should sit upright with their abdomen drawn in, occupying only the front half of the chair. The groom should sit with legs spread apart, while the bride sits with her legs together in a "T" step, knees slightly turned towards the groom, and the upper body facing forward, displaying elegance and dignity.
