Well, buying your weding dress may be a confusing task at the first time when you go to bridal shops, since you do not know which style to choose, maybe the wedding gowns are flattering on the models while are terrible on your body! So if you want to get a stunning wedding gown that is exactly flattering on you, there will be some guidelines for your to follow. Check it out!
A wedding dress is a considerable investment, so boutiques should make every effort to pamper you and make you feel special and valued. An experienced fitter should be able to suggest styles that will suit your body shape, even if you haven’t considered them before.
1, Know what flatters your body type
There are so many different styles and cuts of wedding dress that there will always be something to suit your body shape. The key is to choose something that will accentuate your best features, while drawing attention away from the parts you aren’t so keen on. Remember these key points:
· Empire line dresses will lengthen short legs
· Dropped waist gowns will compensate for a short waist
· V-necks are very slimming and perfect for larger busted brides
· Detail and gathered material at the bust is great for flatter chests
· Horizontal lines widen the body and vertical lines elongate it
Don’t be tempted to try to hide the parts of your body you don’t like under layers of structured fabric as this will only draw attention to them and give an overall chunky impression. Conversely, make sure your dress isn’t too revealing as you don’t want to be self conscious all day, and you don’t want your wedding photos to be something you later cringe over.
Many brides make the mistake of buying a wedding dress that is too small with the idea of dieting into it. Although you will undoubtedly lose some weight before the wedding, you are unlikely to lose whole dress sizes, so it is much better to buy a gown that fits and plan plenty of fittings close to the big day to make any necessary changes.
2, Match your dress to your wedding style
Think about the type of wedding you want to have when you are choosing your dress. Which season have you chosen? Will it be a formal evening affair, or a casual beach party? Are you getting married in a garden location, or an historic building? If you are having a themed wedding you might want to make your dress part of that theme. On the other hand some brides go out and find the perfect dress and then use that to influence their wedding theme.
3, Choose your own style over high fashion
If you buy a dress that is ultra trendy you can guarantee it will date your wedding photos, and it may prevent you looking as bridal as you would like. Instead of choosing a wedding gown because it is fashionable, choose one that you love and that makes you look and feel wonderful. It is better to add your own personal character to a simple dress using jewellery, shoes and other accessories, than to take a wedding outfit directly off the wedding catwalks and regret it later.
