Looking and feeling BRILLIANT on your big day is easy if you follow this simple wedding gown guide. Showing off your gorgeous figure and enjoying every moment is easy to achieve - read on for more details.
Firstly, think about the image you want to create on your wedding day – will it be a low key ceremony or a full-blown Cinderella type ball?
Secondly, don't feel that you need to keep with the traditional bridal gown colours of white or cream - be bold and go for something different – beiges/chocolates are very popular at the moment. Look at your skin colour and choose a colour which compliments it. If you choose a strong colour best to keep the details on the dress simple.
Next, the detail of the dress must be chosen - a simple dress paired with exquisite accessories can be a 'show stopper'. Choosing a gown with detail in certain areas will draw attention to that part of the body – so if you are top heavy have detail on the bottom of the gown.
Fourthly, ensure you make the best of the sexy part of your body – if you have great legs then show them off a little by choosing a shorter style gown or if you have great arms choose a strapless gown with some gorgeous glitter body lotion so your arms and shoulders sparkle.
Short guide ‘what style suits what body shape'
Large bust - Basque style and full skirt works best – but do ensure your bodice area is plain and avoid low necklines. Any detail is best situated at the bottom of the skirt.
Big hips - on the lower half of your body create a slight triangle - princess or ball gown style gown are perfect. Across the hip area ensure that you gown is not to tight - stay cear of anything piered, a bustle or peplum style.
Large tummy - A-line style. Ensure seam is under the bust line and then just flows down so the dress will not sit to your body but will flow around it. If you decide to opt for sleeves, go for long/narrow - not too tight.
Large legs/thighs - Longer gowns work well – try a sheath style and try and add height with heels.
Wide shoulders - V-neckline style will work best – it is OK to shown some skin. Puffed sleeves are a big NO NO!
Large Arms - avoid tight sleeves and choose long simple sleeves.
Short Arms - Choose three quarter length sleeves – avoid sleeveless gowns.
If you want to walk down the isle beaming from cheek to cheek take note of the tips mentioned in the guide. Above all, ensure that you feel comfortable during your big day and ENJOY IT!!!
