The key to choosing the perfect wedding dress is not to fall in love with a style but to choose a style that fits you.
The full figured bride
The best style for this body type is an A-line style. This particular style lengthens your whole body without drawing attention to your waistline. Choosing a dress with an empire waist is also best for this body type because it is narrow right below the bust which will help conceal your hips and waist.
The large busted bride
Off the shoulder wedding dresses work best with this body type as it draws attention upward. Full skirts are not a good choice on this body type as they will make you look large and bottom heavy.
The bottom heavy bride
This body type looks best in dresses that bring attention to the upper body. Showing off your arms, back and neckline help draw attention away from your hips. Pleats and gathered fabric around the waist area is a big no-no. Corset style dresses accentuate this body type and allow you to highlight your upper body. A-lines also looks best on this body type.
The petite bride
The best style for this body type are A-line and cap sleeve dresses. You want to stay away from sheaths which shorten the body, strapless gowns if the groom is much taller than you and very full skirts which will make you appear bottom heavy. The A-line style helps to lengthen the body. Cap sleeve gowns work best while giving the feeling of a strapless gown. You don't want to flash your guests!
Consult with a bridal consultant to get good choices of wedding dresses for your body type. They are trained professionals.
Make an appointment at the largest bridal salon in your area. This way you'll have a very large selection of dresses to choose from. Ask if there is a limit on the amount of dresses you can try on at one time.
Check online to find a wedding dress. There are many websites that allow you to sort through the many styles and photos of wedding dresses. You want to visit a website that allows you to zoom in on the photos and mix and match the colors and styles.
Look through bride magazines for wedding dress styles, colors and fabrics to find a wedding dress that best suits you.
Ask your friends and family for their suggestions and opinions but make sure to stick with your overall desires for your wedding dress.
