When I was shopping for wedding dresses there we definitely things

I wish I would have know! So here is a short article on finding the

perfect wedding dress and type of wedding dress cuts work best for

your body type.

Most brides are so busy with which wedding invitations

they should use, what their wedding vows should be and or taste

testing wedding cakes that they never take time to read up on what

kind of dress would work best for them. This actually really helps the

dress shopping along.

If you know what designs look best on you this will avoid picking

out wedding dresses that will accent that 10 extra pounds you just

couldn't lose. I do not recommend buying a dress a size or two too

small. It is much easier to take a gown in than it is to let it out

and since most bridal gowns can not be returned you don't want to end

up having to buy a wedding gown in hurry! Having to drop a bunch of

weight before your wedding does nothing but put more stress on you.

Planning your wedding is by far one of the most stressful times in you

life! If you do chose to lose weight before your wedding in hopes to

look extra fantastic in your wedding dress I recommend some sort of

program to help you stay on task. Here are some of the most common

styles for wedding gowns.

If you are looking for a basic gown that will go well on any bride

I recommend the A-line: This slightly flared gown offers a slim shape

with a gradually widened hem. This silhouette is considered flattering

on all body types.

If you are trying to hide hips, buttocks, or legs and to highlight

your upper body I would recommend a ball gown. These wedding dresses

have a fitted, corset-type bodice and a dramatically full skirt, this

gown might feature a natural waistline, Basque, or dropped.

If you have medium to large busts and a less than perfect waistline

I recommend The Empire. The upper body is the focal point with this

high-waisted silhouette, which offers a snug fit around your bosom and

a skirt that cascades into a gentle column. This is usually a long,

slim wedding dress with a variety of necklines. It can be sleeveless,

or with capped, or short sleeves.

If you are just all over curvy I would recommend the Mermaid or

Trumpet. Its A body-hugging sheath that flares at or below the knee to

create a fluttering hemline. The hemline ranges anywhere from a gentle

flare to one that is dramatic.

Well toned Bride? How about a Sheath? Simple and sophisticated,

follows the body's curves from top to bottom. Some sheaths are

bias-cut which causes them to clings but with a tone body this is just

this bride-to-be may be looking for!

Happy wedding dress shopping!
