World of Wedding

When you choose your wedding dress, it is essential that you choose something that suits you rather than eyeing something you fancy. It is a huge misconception that only women with hour-glass figures can look perfect on their wedding day.

The key is to opt for a dress that complements your best features and hides your flaws. You don’t have to reconcile to anything less than your dream dress; you should customize your choice to a dress that suits you the best.


Designer wear

Every dress designer’s claim to fame is the exclusivity they offer. They apply their individualistic style to each wedding dress and help you shine as a unique and radiant bride. Apply your own ideas; get inspired from different sources such as bridal magazines, fashion magazines for the cut or color, designer boutiques or even the neighborhood dress maker.

Be wary of getting carried away by the latest trends in bridal wear or the current style in vogue, for it may not necessarily suit your body type, complexion or personality. If you like something that you see, cut out the picture and show it to your dress stylist as it’s much easier for the stylist to understand what you have in mind.

Customize a style or cut you like to suit your personality and body type. Try it out to check on the fittings to ensure that it flatters your figure and brings out the best features of your body. Make it a point to research and evaluate various options before you zero in on the final look.

Adaptive approach

Before you start shopping for your wedding dress, it is vital to understand your body type. Choose the fabric and style that best complements your personality. Fabrics like chiffon, georgette and silk blend with the body.

• Full figured ladies can opt for a V-neck or scoop neckline as it narrows down an otherwise broad frame by drawing attention vertically.
• Women with a heavy bosom may wear an A-line style gown that creates an overall balance for heavier brides and conceals hips and a tummy.
• Very thin and petite women should stay away from off-the-shoulder dresses as they tend to bring attention to the lack of curves.
• Pear-shaped women, those with wider hips and narrow shoulders can carry off an A-line silhouette very well as it camouflages big hips.

If you decide to buy something from a store or boutique, always make it a point to try it on. Dresses in a coat hanger or your hand look very different from when they are on your body. It makes perfect sense to try it on before you make a purchase.

Show your happiness through vibrant colors

Wearing a white dress on your wedding day is passé. If you are very particular about having a conventional wedding, experiment with different colors and bring life to your momentous day. Choose a shade that brings out the color in your eyes and enhances your complexion; it could be anything from ivory to champagne.

If you are getting married on Valentine’s Day, you can wear red, the color of love. As commonly known, different colors signify different emotions. Red is the color of love and fiery passion. In fact, the Chinese consider red as the traditional color of good luck.

A complete look
As you scout for the perfect wedding dress, do not forget that the right accessories complete the look. Accessories like shoes and jewelry are equally important and need to be coordinated with the dress and occasion. Pearls and diamonds go with almost any color and add a touch of elegance to the entire look.

You can opt for stilettos if you are used to wearing high heels on a daily basis. If not, go for shoes with a wide heel so that it is easy to balance. You do not want to prepare so much in advance and finally fall on your wedding day. Wedges are also in vogue and to a certain extent, easy to balance. High heeled shoes are very stylish except that it can get uncomfortable for long hours.

Choose the perfect wedding dress and stand apart on your special day. Your lovely face will glow with the confidence, happiness and the marital bliss you look forward to.

Finding the perfect wedding dress is one of the most difficult decisions the bride to be must make. You may fall head over heels for a dress in one of the many bridal magazines. But, please take into consideration every woman’s body is different and the possibility of the dress looking exactly as it does on you is very slim.


Get Experienced Advice
My number one piece of advice is to make an appointment with a bridal boutique near you to get help from women who tend to hundreds of other brides to be. They will choose dresses that accent your unique curves.

Styles Abound
Most bridal boutiques carry a large variety of styles and brands to allow for different budgets and types of weddings. Most of the dresses that are advertised tend to be very pricey so you can usually find a similar dress that isn’t a brand name, but half the cost or less.
As for choosing the right type of dress I do have a bit of insight from my experience dress shopping. While every woman is different, these tips are pretty much universal.

Consider Lace-ups
Something that I discovered as I was trying on countless dresses was that lace-up back dresses are AMAZING! They not only hold you in which eliminates the need for a bra, but also take at least two dress sizes off of your figure. Quite the confidence boost!

Upfront and Personal
For large busts or small busts most dresses are a pain. The cups are either too big or too small. If it is too small you can try gel cups but that doesn’t always help. Your best bet is to try a lace up back because they shape to your figure for the most part and can help hold you in with large or small breasts.

Disguise Chicken Arms
If you have sagging arms that you would like to hide without getting a complete long-sleeved dress they have a solution. There are little half sleeve covers to hide your upper back and arms. You can also wear long gloves if you strictly want to cover your arms.

Its All About Illusion
Dresses with an A style flare are wonderful for those with a pear shape. The top of the dress can accent your tiny waist and the bottom can hide a large rear and legs. Some of us aren’t blessed with super model legs and these dresses area great fix.

Veils Add Mystery
When it comes to veils you can spend a fortune for double layer or triple but single layered veils work just the same. The only downfall is you don’t have a layer to wear over your face. However, most women don’t do that because it gets in the way of photographing their face.

Tweak For the Perfect Fit
All in all the wedding dress is quite a project to find and get altered. Your best bet in staying within your budget is choosing a dress that needs the least amount of alterations. I feel strongly about lace up backs because they tend to require less work and fit more figures which save you money.

Keep Trying
Make sure you try at least three on before making a decision and make an appointment with a professional. This will take the stress off of you and make the process go much more smoothly.
