Looking and feeling BRILLIANT on your big day is easy if you follow this simple wedding gown guide. Showing off your gorgeous figure and enjoying every moment is easy to achieve - read on for more details.
First step, decide what type of wedding day you want - is it to be a huge affair with hundreds of guest or a low key event with a select few people?
Secondly, don't feel that you need to keep with the traditional bridal gown colours of white or cream - be bold and go for something different � beiges/chocolates are very popular at the moment. Look at your skin colour and choose a colour which compliments it. If you choose a strong colour best to keep the details on the dress simple.
Thirdly, decide upon the detail of the dress � a plain gown with the right accessories can have the same or more impact than a gown full of beadwork and sequins. To draw attention to certain parts of the bosy choose a style that emphasises that particular part - so if you are bottom heavy choose a gown which has detail around the bust area.
Fourthly, ensure you make the best of the sexy part of your body � if you have great legs then show them off a little by choosing a shorter style gown or if you have great arms choose a strapless gown with some gorgeous glitter body lotion so your arms and shoulders sparkle.
Short guide �what style suits what body shape'
Large bust - Basque style and full skirt works best � but do ensure your bodice area is plain and avoid low necklines. Any detail is best situated at the bottom of the skirt.
Large hips - Try to create a slight triangle over the lower half of your body � choose the ball gown style or princess style. Make sure your dress doesn't fit too tightly over the hip area and avoid a bustle, peplum or anything tiered at all costs.
Large tummy - A-line style. Ensure seam is under the bust line and then just flows down so the dress will not sit to your body but will flow around it. If you decide to opt for sleeves, go for long/narrow - not too tight.
Large legs/thighs - Longer gowns work well � try a sheath style and try and add height with heels.
Wide shoulders - V-neckline style will work best � it is OK to shown some skin. Puffed sleeves are a big NO NO!
Chubby Arms - Long simple sleeves work best, but do not choose skin tight sleeves.
Short Arms - Choose three quarter length sleeves � avoid sleeveless gowns.
If you want to walk down the isle beaming from cheek to cheek take note of the tips mentioned in the guide. Above all, ensure that you feel comfortable during your big day and ENJOY IT!!!
