7 Tips on Choosing a Wedding Dress Style ...

1. Think about Your Everyday Clothing Style

What is your normal, everyday clothing style? Do you go for casual clothing? Are you into simple, versatile pieces? Do you always choose a girly choice? Your everyday clothing style can help point you in the direction you may wish to go when you are choosing a wedding dress style.

2. Consider Your Body Shape

It is good to consider your body shape when you are choosing a wedding dress style. Wedding dress styles may suit certain body types better than others. If you are pear shaped then you may want to choose a wedding dress that pulls attention to your upper body, such as a dress with eloquent beading or a beautifully cut neckline. If you are apple shaped, you may want to look for a dress that nips in at the most slender part of your body, usually right under your breasts. There are tips for what wedding dress types work for all body types. You can find them with a simple Google search.

3. Consider How You Want to Feel on Your Wedding Day

How do you want to feel on your wedding day? Is comfort a driving factor? Do you want to feel like a princess? Do you want to feel sexy? All of these are questions that can help to point you in the direction you should go when choosing a wedding dress style.

4. Don’t Let Other Voices Crowd Yours out

Everyone is going to have an opinion on what type of wedding dress you should choose. Don’t let their voices crowd yours out. It is a good thing to have some people whose opinions you value on fashion to weigh in, but it is ultimately your decision. You need to choose a dress that makes you feel attractive regardless of if others love it or not.

5. Consider What Your Fiancé Might like

There is one opinion that you do want to consider. That is the opinion of your fiancé. He doesn’t need to see your dress in order for you to consider his opinion. Just think about what comments he may have made in the past about your choices in clothing. What has he often complimented you on? Thinking about this can reveal some hints about what he likes to see you in.

6. Reflect on the Wedding Dress You’ve Dreamed of

Think about the wedding dress you have always dreamed of wearing. When you thought of your future wedding, what sort of dress did you see yourself wearing? This can be very telling. Often what we daydream of is what we really want. Go with your instinct on this.

7. Choose the One That Makes You Feel Beautiful

I think this is the most important tip of all. Choose the wedding dress that makes you feel beautiful. If you feel beautiful then you are going to look beautiful. You are going to feel confident and lovely. It may not be the dress you thought you would go for, but if it feels right then it probably is.
