If you think that every morning starts with a cup of coffee, you are, most likely, a guy since the girls’ morning begins with the question “what to wear today?” It is not a joke. From day to day women challenge the need to choose the clothes, shoes, and accessories fitting their individual features and interplaying each with other harmoniously. This issue is of high importance and it goes on the backstage just once a lady’s life: when she gets the diamond engagement ring from her soul-mate and starts preparing to the wedding ceremony. Then, an ordinary daily question is replaced with a new one “what gown to choose to look the brightest, most beautiful and fashionable bride one has seen ever?” 

At first sight, it is not a problem to choose among the variety of available stunning designs, modern trends, and fashion tendencies. Indeed, if considering the fact that the bride has to unite “the shape of her soul”, the shape of her body and shape of fashion trends which often differ significantly one from another, one can see the true challenge. To simplify your pre-wedding days we picked up a few of fashion looks for the most widespread body types.

Hourglass

Features: ideal parameters, 90 x 60 x 90, reminding the hourglass

It seems to be one of the most desired body shapes since it is considered the etalon of the women beauty. Indeed, ideal women like any other could not wear any of model. Thus, lush gowns are not for you, if you are happy to have the hourglass body shape. Lush skirts intended for correlating the balance but when there is a natural harmony, they could distort the visual perception of your proportions. 

However, happily, it is a single warning and you have a rather broad choice. The best of them is the mermaid model. It is not only one of the fashion items but also the unique opportunity to be individual – this design does not suit to any other body shape, but it is excellent for hourglass brides.

Slim, Straight Or Athletic

Features: all three primary parameters of woman’ body, meaning bust, waist, and hips, have the same measurement or the difference is not significant.

 If you belong to this type, your best choice is a silhouette dress. They can help in highlighting the delicacy of natural body lines and creating the effect of lightness. To enrich your image, you can choose the gown with different art patterns, like floral motives for example, which are on trend this wedding season. The best material for your wedding dress is the lace, especially if you have protruding bones. Lace gown could soften your silhouette and complement your image with tenderness.

One more variant is a gown with full skirts and fitted bodice. Indeed, you should be careful with the skirt’s fullness – it is needed to save the balance and not to overdo. The very lush lower part can underline the slimness and cause visual disproportionality. It is better to opt for the dress with the skirt a little fuller than the bodice.

Pear-Shaped

Features: women of this kind have large hips while their waist and bust have significantly smaller sizes.

The decision lays on the surface: you need to veil this disproportion by accenting your upper part and hiding the lower one. It is possible only when opting the voluminous gowns. Here you can experiment with the volume of your skirt considering the scale of misbalance. The larger your hips the lusher your skirt should be. It is preferable to choose the airy textile and avoid the heavy materials since it clings the body and can over accentuate the parts you want to hide.

If you are the pear-shaped lady, pay special attention to A-line wedding dresses and Grecian fashion style. Both of them harmonize your natural beauty and make masking of any misbalance effective and trendy.

Apple-Shaped

Features: the body’s middle section is on focus, large bust, while legs and hands could stay slim and delicate.

In this case, the extra modern fashion tendency of geometry patterns can help the brides to create stunning wedding look.  It is better for you to opt the gown with a deep V-alike neckline. First, this design will show your bust in the favorable light and elongate your overall silhouette as well. If deep neckline does not correspond with your individual vision, you can opt the alternative - empire waist fashion style. It could be the model with open shoulders, like a medieval corset, or bodice accenting the bust but draping your shoulders with lighter textile or mesh fabric. 

We should say classic bohemian or queen style with vintage elements is the hot fashion point during the latest years; this season it endows new actuality, especially when complementing it with vintage diamond engagement rings and other stylish accessories.

Petite

Features: thin, delicate women with a small bone structure.

The core rule for brides of this kind is minimalism. You should not overwhelm your look with weighted fabric, massive patterns, any geometrical cutout or anything else. The minor diversity could cause getting lost of your natural beauty in the variety of design elements. Nature created you delicate; just enhanced this trait with minimalistic fashion trend implying monochrome white dress with a high cut. If you want to be extravagant, your way is back cut out or unusual design of the gown’s lowest part.

It would be quite easy to follow these recommendations if strict subdivision could exist. In practice, you would not find an ideal pear-shaped or athletic lady, but you easily could have several features from diverse categories presented above. Do not become confused at once. Knowing how to work with wedding look to accent your most-loved features and veil the problem areas you will be able to make your best choice. Just be creative and love yourself!
