Flattering Wedding Dresses That Show Off Your Best Feature

4710Every bride has her best physical features that should be highlighted during her special day. Choosing a wedding dress style to flatter the bride’s body type is a common method for deciding which type of dress to wear. Once a bride decides which wedding dress styles would be best, she can select the perfect wedding dress by considering which show off her best features. Brides deserve to feel confident and special in the most flattering wedding dresses.

Focusing solely on what type of wedding gown should be worn based on the bride’s body type can feel more like trying to hide problem areas. Brides should consider shopping for a particular style of wedding dress based on what is most flattering for her. This can be a source of confidence on that special day. An additional boost is available by selecting the perfect gown that both flatters her body type and shows off her best features.

Every woman has favorite physical features. Some examples are her beautiful eyes, ample bosom, slender waist, feminine curves, long legs. Brides can start by knowing which wedding dress style is most flattering such as a ball gown, A-line, sheath, mermaid, or drop-waist dress. Then, she can narrow the selection to those that show off her best feature.

Videos and images of brides with large breasts who are half falling out of their wedding dresses have been passed around the Internet for years. They have become symbols of what not to wear. Showing off your cleavage does not have to be obscene. However, some bridal advice websites urge brides to hide any hint of cleavage. That’s a bit extreme. A bride is a woman, after all. She shouldn’t feel like she has to hide that fact. If you have a large bust and you would like to show it off modestly, a moderate V-neck may be the best neckline to show off your breasts without being inappropriate.

The form-fitting wedding dress styles tend to show off feminine curves more than the fuller or loose-fitting gowns. The mermaid style is a favorite for showing off curves. With the modern trend of having fuller buttocks, brides may be more likely to opt for more form fitting versions of the styles that suit their body types best in order to show off this feature.

Long legs can be shown off by wearing a short skirt or one with a slit. Again, modesty is important. A bride can accentuate the positive without going to extremes. Many styles of wedding dresses are perfect for showing off a slender waist. Consider the bodice with sculpted fabric that attracts attention to the waist. Accents like small satin flowers along the bottom of the bodice also flatter a small waist by drawing attention there.

How can a wedding dress show off beautiful eyes? Some wedding dresses have colored accents that could highlight the woman’s eyes. Makeup and accessories also can be used to complement the bride’s eyes and make them more noticeable. Often, some simple touches can be the most effective. Otherwise, the makeup and accessories end up drawing too much attention themselves rather than flattering the eyes. Brides should feel like they have chosen the most flattering wedding dress for their special day.

Once your wedding day is over, it is the wedding photographs that will help you remember your lifetime event. These photos will be viewed again and again, not just by you, but by friends, relatives and even the next generations. You have to look great in the pictures, and making sure you do is not just the responsibility of the photographer, but yours too.

These tips will help you make sure that you photograph well on your wedding day. Check them out.

Relax and remember that you needn’t smile in all the pictures

With hundreds of clicks during the course of a single day, it is unlikely that you will be able to smile naturally through all of them. If there is one thing that spoils a picture, it is an unnatural smile. With jaws and cheeks hurting from smiling, you are bound to end up with a limp smile shortly. It is good if you realize this and do not attempt to keep at it. So, what do you do? Be happy, and let your joy radiate to your eyes. Your happiness is bound to be captured, even without the smile.

Make-up appropriately

The effect of your make-up may look very different when captured on camera. This is especially true if you use bronzer or spray tan. Make sure that you select your makeup appropriately, so you do not end up looking orange or yellow in the pictures. Check out old pictures of when you were in the same makeup and dress for your wedding accordingly.

Be yourself to look your best

Although you may be tempted to put on a Hollywood pose, or fake a smile in the hope of getting a great photograph, remember that you will only love the ones in which you look yourself. Breathe easy, relax your face and look natural; it will turn out great.

Mind your posture

The hectic pace of everything happening around you will cause tension to build up in your shoulders and back over the course of the day. You may find yourself stooping, shrinking or slouching as exhaustion gets to you. Remember that this will be visible in the pictures too. So, focus on your posture always. Pull your stomach in, keep your shoulders taut and chest forward. Relax when you feel tired, but take a deep breath and pull yourself up when it is time to shoot.

Experiment with different locations and times of the day

Make sure you have your pictures taken at various locations, and that you have your bridal photos shot in the day and the evening. You will then have a number of pictures to choose from, and you may even be pleasantly surprised to find some of them better than you anticipated.

While you are busy capturing the biggest event in your life, don’t forget to enjoy the experience. Looking fantastic on your wedding day will help you look fabulous in your wedding photos too. We, at BestforBride can help you choose the wedding gown that will do this for you. Visit us online to see our extensive collection of wedding gowns, and also for valuable wedding advice.

Wedding Guest Etiquette: Do’s and Dont’s

Wedding etiquette isn’t reserved just for the bridal party. You don’t want to be the guest that shows up at a wedding under or overdressed, bring uninvited guests and doesn’t RSVP. Here’s a guide to some do’s and dont’s as a guest at a wedding.

DO

RSVP

Once you receive your invitation, make sure you RSVP as soon as possible. It’s easy to put it off and forget about it, but it makes the bride and grooms lives easier when they know how many people to expect at their wedding. It’s costly when paying per plate and you don’t want to put them out by not RSVPing.

Dress as the Style Suggests

Regardless of what kind of wedding it is, make sure you dress the part. There’s nothing worse than showing up for a casual wedding on the beach in a three piece tuxedo. If you are unsure of the attire for the wedding, just check with the bride, groom or any of the bridal party and they’ll be happy to inform you.

DON’T

No Uninvited Guests

If your wedding invitation didn’t have a “plus one” on it, then don’t bring a plus one. Parents, this includes children. The couple may not have the budget for your uninvited plus one (not to mention room or food) and may want to have an “adults only” wedding, which they are completely entitled to do.

Drink Too Much

It’s easy to have one too many libations when its an open bar, but please be considerate of other guests and of course, the bride and groom. There’s nothing wrong with a couple drinks, but it can get awkward when someone decides to have one or more too many and that can make other wedding guests uncomfortable. Don’t be “that guy”. Drink in moderation, but a wedding isn’t a place to get drunk and rowdy.
