Wedding! The mere word itself creates a certain sort of adrenaline rush in everyone's body irrespective of the gender. Obviously for the bride and the groom it is the most special day of their lives, but for everybody else around, it is no less of a celebration. So the exchange of "I do's" involves a lot of pre-planning starting from preparing the guest list to booking the right venue, meeting the chefs, tasting the cakes and finally the grooming part, where most obviously the bride takes the cake.
It is the dream of every women to make the most beautiful bride and look like a vision on the D-day. And hence though the shoes, the make-up and obviously the hair-styling plays a very vital role in making that perfect bride, the wedding dress is the most important. We are sure, that many women looks upto that dress as a vision of a childhood dream but for the more realistic one's a perfect wedding dress possesses brilliant anti-aging properties in the sense that they can take off that age by a few years. So you would be that Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and the City, who even at the age of 35 might end of looking no more than 26. Now that's a deal.
So here's how to go about it:
Now, most women are completely paranoid about their weight and body shape during those gown trial sessions and end up feeling too bloated or too skiny. So the best thing would be to appreciate yourself and accept yourself the way you are. The groom obviously loves you for what you are, and not how you look and trust us, you would always look beautiful to him irrespective of what you wear.
If you are more on the fuller side, with not so envious waist lines or flat stomach, and your thighs are an area of concern, pick out something with a natural waist preferably in the looks of a ball-gown or a-line skirts. This would give you the long slender fit for the upper torso while covering up anything below the waist.
For the taller and the slender you, pick up something that compliments your body, preferably less embellishment, clean silhouette dresses with nipped waist. This would wrap brilliantly around your body, and would give you that complete elegant and graceful look.
If you are one of those women who has an athletic body structure or lacks curves, try the gowns with mermaid styling that would add apparent shape and curves to your body. Look for something that have got curvy lateral seams and a flared or spread bottom in the form of a trumpet skirt, and this might create the perfect mirage of an hourglass figure.
Most women die for this body structure, since mostly every style works for them, so if you are a petitite women, it's time to bring out that fairy princess in you on that wedding day. Try a natural waist preferably an empire cut, to give you a long slender upper body look minus all the embellishments.
- When you are busty or have a small chest
Well breasts could be a real cause of concern, where either too busty or too small can ruin that look on the wedding day. So if you are busty try a gown with a soft neckline in matte fabric or an illusion neckline with a natural waist and trumpet skirt ball gown, to make your body look proportionate. For those with small chests, your best friends are the halter and the v-neck gowns, with a little bit of padding in the cutlets area or may be dresses with wrapped bodices.
Thus, lastly remember, that your wedding dress is not just a dress and your wedding day is not just another day, so always give yourself ample amount of time and thought during those trial sessions, do not act in haste, cause what can obviously compliment as an anti aging tool if backfires can obviously cause a lifetime of bad memories for a very special day.
