Finding the right wedding dress can be a very difficult process. What you like in the magazines or online, might not look as great as you had dreamed.
Hourglass brides look best in a two-piece dress or a corset dress. Anything that accentuates the bride’s waist will enhance the beauty of this bride. Beautiful ball gowns and corseted bodices normally work for the bust line as well. Bridal bouquets should not overwhelm. Bridal headpieces should not be overdone if the wedding gown is elaborate.
Pear shaped brides will look best in an A-line princess dress. This style of dress disguises fuller hips as well as balances the torso to bust. Chapel length bridal veils add sleeker lines. For wedding hairstyles- try not to have all your hair swept up - leaving some down it will help emphasize balance.
Petite brides can be a difficult body type to fit. Look for dresses that are very clean cut with unbroken contours and without too much fabric - these will help to elongate. Unfortunately, big ball gowns and mermaid wedding dresses are beautiful but can easily overwhelm the petite bride. Chapel or fingertip bridal veils ensure that the petite bride is framed well. Keep bridal accessories to a minimum.
Tall brides can wear anything from ball gowns, princess line and A- line wedding dresses, straight bridal and mermaid style dresses - all are great for the tall bride who can carry almost any dress style. Avoid empire line dresses that can look “tent like” on your frame. Avoid wedding flowers or bouquets that are too small or large. Ensure they work proportionately with you and your body type.
Fuller waist brides will find that princess-line dresses and drop waist wedding dresses will be the most flattering. Draw the eye up with stunning bridal accessories. A bold Diamond necklace and earrings will do the trick.
Broader shouldered brides should veer away from halter and off-the-shoulder necklines, which tend to accentuate the shoulders. Try strapless and scoop necklines. For bridal accessories, fine delicate jewelry works best with your body type.
Fuller breasted brides will learn quickly that corsets can work magic. Widely set apart straps diminish fuller busted figures. Wedding dresses with scoop or square necklines will enhance the bust. Strapless dresses are on your wedding checklist as a “wait and see how it looks” possibility.
Fuller armed brides should try off-the-shoulder straps or a sheer fabric. Usually three-quarter or long sleeves in solid fabrics work best to elongate the line of the arm, be cautious as sleeves should not be cut tight.
When all else fails – try it on and be true to you!
