Wedding Dresses-How to Make the Choice For the Perfect Garment For Your Special Day

Making wedding plans, wedding dresses will be where your thoughts will turn to in order to determine what you should wear on your special day as you walk down the isle being the main point of attention. What style and fabric should you wear to compliment your figure type and personality?

Whilst highlighting your best features and minimising your imperfections, make sure that you feel beautiful, comfortable and relaxed in whatever you choose to wear.

The Strapless Dress

Strapless wedding dresses are sophisticated and elegant, as well as emitting a hint of sexiness and sensuality. If you add a little antique lace for a vintage wedding or team it with some contemporary jewellery for a modern touch, a strapless dress can be flattering to most figures. A strapless or halter neck will suit the hourglass figure, flattening your feminine curves - think Marilyn Monroe.

Seductive Satin and Silk

Elegant sheaths that drape the body are in Vogue. This season's fashions cling to the figure in seductive silks and satins and leave no question of the bride's style and sophistication.

A Touch of Glamour

Its all about simple wedding dresses with attention focused on the little details. Make a statement with metallic thread embroidery, trails of tiny buttons and rhinestone buckles. Wedding dresses inspired by the glamour of Hollywood's past feature stunning diamante and rhinestone buckles.

Tea Length Dress

For a sophisticated and contemporary look, go for a tea length wedding dress. Falling between the bottom of the calf, it's the preferred length of bridal designers this season. Ideal for semi formal or casual weddings, they suit most figures and inspire romance and fun.

A tea length wedding dress is a wonderful choice for a less formal wedding. If you are planning to have a garden wedding, or a mid morning ceremony followed by a brunch reception, a tea length wedding dress is perfect.

Feminine and Flirty

Bows, feathers, ruffles, and tiers are charming and whimsical expressions of femininity in the classical Cinderella tradition. These gorgeous additions will showcase your unique personality and provide stylish wedding flair.

The Mermaid Dress

Figure hugging at eh bodice, hips and thighs, the Mermaid wedding dress then flairs out giving brides a 'mermaid-like 'silhouette. It's not a wedding dress style for the faint-hearted but if you can pull it off, its a spectacular and elegantly curvy look on your wedding day.

Ribbon Detailing

Many of the latest bridal couture designs feature wedding dresses with ribbon detailing. Satin sashes tied at the waist are huge at the moment as is the ribbon which criss-crosses its way dramatically down the back of your dress. Designer bridal wear such as Vera Wang, features ribbon extensively in the latest bridal collections.

Your budget will help determine whether you choose t find a couturier, home dressmaker or purchase your wedding dress of-the-rack. Be open to ideas and prepared to try on different styles.Youw ill be surprised at what dress styles and fabrics look better on you then on the rack.

It really comes down to in individual taste in choosing the 'right 'wedding dress and it does pay to get some professional advice from a wedding stylist. Above all, make sure you enjoy your special day.
