The Perfect Wedding Dress: How to find it

If you are like most brides, you have been dressing up your
little dollies in wedding dresses since, well, for as long as
you can remember! But what we think looks good on them may not
look very good on us. Don’t go shopping around for dresses
thinking of yourself as a life-sized Barbie; it’s important to
go dress shopping with some rules and guidelines so you know
that you’ll look exactly how you want to on your wedding day.
Know your Wedding Date (or at least the Season)
If you don’t know when about you are getting married yet, then
you are wasting your time dress shopping. It’s important that
you know whether you are getting married in the spring/summer or
fall/winter months, or if you are having a destination wedding,
as this will help determine the style of dress, the materials
that it should be made out of, and other fine details. Browse
all you like, but don’t put down any down payments or purchase
any dresses just yet!
The Dress should fit you Now
One of the biggest mistakes that the overly ambitious bride
makes is purchasing a dress that is one or two sizes too small
for her. It doesn’t matter if your wedding is 3 weeks or 3
years from now; buy a wedding dress that fits you today. All
too many brides buy dresses that are too small and begin a
wedding diet plan – only to then fall into the trap of having
wedding parties with wine and fatty foods, food tastings, and
other celebrations that lead to a high caloric intake. Not only
that, but planning a wedding is stressful, which adds to the
increased craving for sugars and fatty foods.
If you are able to lose the weight for your wedding day,
congratulations! But if you bought a dress that fit you on the
day you purchased it for your wedding, you can easily have this
altered to fit you on your day. Buying a dress that is too
small cannot be so easily altered, or it may even be downright
impossible.
Gown Styles and Types based on Body Shape
Your body shape dictates the style of dress that you will wear.
Here are some of the most common body types and what dresses you
should strongly consider wearing so that you look the most
stunning on your big day:
Pear-Shaped: To help draw attention away from the hips, look
for a dress that has a lot of textured fabrics and decorative
pieces around the bodice and with a rather simple skirt.
Short: Empire waistlines and high necklines will trick people
into thinking that you are a lot taller than you really are.
Full-Figured: Princess style gowns are a great choice. Think
A-line skirts with a V-shaped or U-shaped neckline and you’re on
the right track to buying the right dress
Thin: Princess style dresses or full skirted gowns are a top
choice for the taller ladies out there. These dresses will help
give you a more full and feminine look.
