Wedding dresses

Most probable the biggest proportion of time spent planning a wedding goes into the bride's wedding dress, and that is the way it is suppose to be. The Bride is the centre of attention on her wedding day therefore she must glow in her wedding dress.

Hints on planning for your wedding dress:

Make sure the style of your wedding dress fit your figure type. Body shape Cut Short Vertical lines will create length as well as a more slender impression. (Princess Style) Full Avoid pleats and to much detail for that will give the impression of an even fuller figure. Soft flowing lines are most flattering. Take the emphasis off your figure with a tear-drop bouquet, for it will create the illusion of length. Be aware of high necklines, rather use necklines that show off those curves. If you have a short neck, you shouldn't wear your hair in your neck. Rather take it up to create length and a slimmer neckline and bodice. Long skirts and dresses are most flattering. Pear A full A-line dress will take the attention off your hips and place emphasis on your waist or neckline. Tall By wearing a fuller skirt you would create the illusion of being shorter. Soft draped material that is gathered at the side of your waist would take away the emphasis on your length. Most Styles should be flattering for your body shape. Petite Avoid using too much detail on your dress. Use simple lines with flowing soft material. Play with interesting necklines like halter or even strapless or spaghetti straps that are beaded or sequenced. Fuller breasts The Empire style is most effective in hiding your bust. Cross-over wrap-around top's gives the impression of a smaller bust, then again if you do have it - Show it, most girls envy you.

It's important that the attire for your attendants complement your wedding dress look in every way. Choose the colour of your dress carefully for not all tones would complement your complexion. Ask your designer to help choose a colour in full daylight. Remember girls - you don't have to look like your tables. Your wedding dress should look totally different and stand out -you are the bride neither the decor nor the accessories!
