Find out What kind of wedding gown suits you
If images of white dresses are dancing in your head, then you
must have been recently engaged. Of course, many women have had
an image of their wedding in their head since the time they were
born, but will the real life live up to your dream?
Capturing a personality
Although it may seem that all wedding dresses are alike, there
are many ways to capture individual styles. White may be the
traditional wedding gown color, but more brides are choosing
off-white or a light cream as an alternative. This can show your
fashion consciousness, while still remaining true to the
traditional coloring.
If you're a bit more vibrant and outgoing, you may want to do
something daring at your wedding. This thought may be
accentuated if you are looking to do a themed wedding as well.
Try a different color altogether. Do something wild like red or
purple. While they might not be the standards, they will
definitely liven up a wedding photo.
And if you're looking for a theme for your wedding, you will
want to study related dresses to the time period or culture. If
you're looking for something that is renaissance inspired, then
you may want to look in costume shops for styles that can be
turned into wedding gowns.
Using your body type
If you're looking for something that is flattering, then you're
going to need to try on a lot of dresses before you do. But this
is a good thing. Many times, brides find that their dream dress
doesn't always look like the dream in their head.
For women who are shorter in stature, you may want to select a
gown with longer lines and seams. Although your high heels will
help to create a taller look, the cleaner and simpler the dress,
the more it will elongate you. You should pick something that
doesn't have a lot of detailing because it may cause the eyes to
look at one particular area rather than you as a whole image.
For the taller woman who is looking to create a less lengthy
style, you will want to find a dress with more detail toward the
bottom of the dress. This helps to draw the eye away from the
height.
All in all, whatever dress makes you feel beautiful is the one
that is right for you. So, don't let convention or tradition
stand in the way of your dream. Short or long, detailed or not,
your wedding dress should reflect everything that you are
feeling on your wedding day.
