Choosing wedding dresses: How to avoid mistakes

You probably have heard horror stories about finding wedding dress. You looked not so "fun" home video, in which the bride has literally bare when the wedding dress has inappropriate tears.

Perhaps you have heard plenty of horror family stories about terrible wedding fuss.

These tips may help increase your chances against the horrors before-wedding lost and hedge against bad choice of wedding dress.

  1. Place an order for dress in a prestigious bridal boutique, which has been open for many years and has a good reputation.
  2. Before you decide what wedding dress to select you should try on a few dresses.
  3. Invite with a maximum of two people, when you first go to a wedding store. The range of contradictory opinions does not facilitate your choice.
  4. Invite only those whose honest and unbiased opinion you can trust. In such an serious work as the choice of wedding dresses, flattery and preterition get inappropriate.
  5. No place an order for a dress looking forward to drop weight to the date of the wedding. Remember that before-wedding confusion could nullify your efforts to grow thin. Besides, better buy a dress, which will sit on you freely than hard putting in a elegant dress and then afraid to stir.
  6. Do not select too revealing attire.
  7. Dance and active move in your dress.
  8. Choose color of dress that emphasizes a good skin tone.
  9. Place an order for dress ahead of time.

Choice of wedding dress

On reading of many articles about a wedding dresses I've make a list of most important criteria.

Well, let's briefly review, what criteria determine our choice of wedding dress.

First and I think the most important is
  1. Overall style of wedding that you want.

    Will it be Splendid royalty wedding in a huge cathedral or Beach wedding or Country wedding. Or it will be a very Formal Wedding.

    Maybe you want to celebrate your wedding in appropriate for the time of year: Spring Wedding, Summer Wedding, Fall Wedding, Winter Wedding.

    Or it will be in some national traditions - Spanish wedding, Russian wedding etc.

    As earlier photos presents Renee Zellweger has a Beach wedding and she was clothed in rather simple but very elegant dress.

    Whereas Gwen Stefani had more unusual both shape and its color dress.


  2. Well, from this it follows...

  3. What colour will be your wedding dress.
  4. Does it have to be white? Again, it depends on the style of your wedding or on what your favorite colour is or the one that makes your skin look gorgeous.

    White colour suits everyone.

    An off-white, ivory or cream shade is often easier to wear.

    Frequently women are opting for dramatic reds or soft pinks, pale golds or pretty lilacs.

  5. Your own body shape influences on dress shape (silhouette, sleeves or not, neckline, train)
  6. And finally...

  7. Chosen outfit requires careful selection of the accessories that you want to wear on the day.
  8. These are likely to include some kind of headdress so you need to decide if you want to wear a veil, tiara, jewellery or flowers in your hair.


Let's view some great dresses and then talk how to choose the Right Wedding Dress Style for Your Body Type.

In the wedding dress...

What fabric to choose for a wedding dress

Silk, satin, velvet, brocade, lace - these is the names of refinement and imperial luxury. And how it could be otherwise in the day of the wedding you are an absolute Queen and the admired sights of guests and the groom are fixed only to you.

At a choice of a fabric for a dress do not forget to consider a number of details, for example, wedding ornaments should be combined with a dress, and the fabric should be picked up in view of a season that the dress was not too cold or, on the contrary, too warm.

Both at a choice of a fabric, and at purchase of a ready dress it is necessary to estimate the invoice of a matter. Different fabrics are differently draped, hold the form, have various density, and therefore suitable for a particular season and style. One materials rumple easily, others stretch, the third are flimsy.

Fabric can be shiny, reflecting light (satin, silk, taffeta, organdy), and dull (wet silk, velvet), a synthetic, natural or mixed.

Lets briefly review the most popular fabrics.

#1 Satin

Satin - (in translation with Arabian - "smooth") - is a cloth that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back. The satin can be made of natural silk or or mixed fibers. Satin dress looks very elegant.

But fashion designers like to combine the satin with other fabrics with more dull surface and to decorate the attire an embroidery, a lace, feathers, beads, strass, creating more modern refined models.

Remember the satin is a very easy material. It isn't suitable for the cold season. Besides the attire made of a natural material, more rumple.

#2 Silk

Silk - one of the most expensive materials, it is called "pearl of fabrics". Silk has shining, very smooth surface. This fabric appreciate not only beauty, but also for durability. Among disadvantages of 100%'s silk we'll note, that it rumples very easy as well as all natural fabrics.

Justly it is said "Smooth as silk".

The dress should be ideally suited on a figure that a shoulder-straps or its other details did not slip during the most responsible moment.

Please note that like all fabrics with a shining surface silk make you little in flesh that will be particularly visibly on a wedding photos.

#3 Crape

Crape - an Anglicized version of the Fr. crêpe - is a silk fabric of a gauzy texture, having a pecliar crisp or crimpy appearance.

If you choose a style silhouette with streamy skirt as a matter to you will approach a crape.

A texture may vary, both heavy, and easy, the matter can be made both of natural silk fibres, and artificial.

An advantage of this fabric is that it is practically non-creasing and very suitable for many styles. It is are easily decorated, such as lace, and combined with many ornaments. Mostly for wedding dresses used crape with smooth surface.

#4 Brocade

Brocade as also as Crape is a variety of the fabric containing silk fibers.

In the Middle Ages the structure of brocade included pure gold and silver, so the cloth was one of the most expensive.

Today, certainly, technology changed, but the matter has not lost former shine. Brocade of gold, silver and other colors is an extremely actual material for wedding celebration.

Brocade dresses are looked magnificently and originally. They will be right for wedding in a cold season perfectly, as the fabric is quite dense and heavy.

#5 Sateen

Sateen has smooth, silky front surface, differs durability and is also used for sewing wedding dresses.

This fabric manufactured from cotton or synthetic fibres, depending on the invoice it can be matt or more shining.

#6 Chiffon

Chiffon is gauzy, so it is used for decoration of atlas, silk and other materials dresses creating around bride the airy halo. Sometimes chiffon is put on several layers for complication the drapery.

#7 Organza

Organza is a thin transparent inflexible fabric made of silk, polyester or viscose by twisting two fibres.

Organza comes matt or shining.

Organza is coarse as starched to the touch. It keeps its form so often is used for magnificent sleeves, frills, flounces, stand-up collars and petticoats.

#8 Taffeta

Taffeta (formerly sometimes spelled taffety) is a crisp, smooth woven fabric made from silk or synthetic fibers. The word is Persian in origin, and means "twisted woven".

Taffeta is a very popular fabric among today's brides.

It has a smooth, shiny surface.

Taffeta dresses are usually decorate%u0432 by silk net, lace, flowers, bugles or beads.

Dress of taffeta will be suite for any season.

#9 Velvet

Velvet is a type of tufted fabric in which the cut threads are very evenly distributed, with a short dense pile, giving it its distinct feel. Velvet can be made from many different kinds of fibres. It is woven on a special loom that weaves two pieces of velvet at the same time. The two pieces are then cut apart and the two lengths of fabric are wound on separate take-up rolls.

Wedding dress of velvet is especially glamourous. The fabric is more popular for evening dresses, but for winter wedding this heavy material with a fleecy brilliant surface approaches ideally as will not allow you to freeze.

This fabric looks very nobly, so show preference for the simple style not overworked with decorative elements.

#10 Lace

In conclusion I would like to say about fabric which has long been taken to decorate the most exquisite dresses.

Lace is a lightweight, openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand. The holes can be formed via removal of threads or cloth from a previously woven fabric, but more often open spaces are created as part of the lace fabric.

Earlier a lace was tatted manually. Therefore it costed very dearly. The first laces have appeared in Italy at 15-16 centuries.

In spite of the fact that manufacture of this fabric with an ornament is put on a stream for a long time handmade lace still especially is worth its weight in gold.

Corsets, skirts, sleeves, cuffs, a veil are decorated with lace.

Wedding Dress Body Types

What suits your body type best

Wedding Dress Body Types from Henry Roth

Hourglass: Two-piece and corset dresses enhance the hourglass figure. Anything that accentuates the bride's waist is in...

Pear shaped. A-line princess dresses disguise fuller hips and the pear shaped body types best.

Petite: Clean, unbroken contours without too much fabric tend to elongate.Big Ball gowns and mermaid wedding dress shapes can overwhelm...

Tall: From ball gowns, princess line and A- line wedding dresses, straight bridal dresses and mermaid dresses...

Fuller waisted: Princess-line and drop waist wedding dresses are most flattering...

Broader shoulder: Wedding tip number #1. Broader shouldered brides should veer from halter and off-the-shoulder necklines, which tend to accentuate the shoulders.

Fuller busted: Bridal corsets can work magic. You will find reputable names under bridal supplies or bridal accessories...

Fuller Arms: Off the shoulder straps or sheer fabric is a great wedding dress tip.

    nice lens, I would like to add some info to it about corset wedding dresses. The corset wedding dress highlight your figure in the best way possible. The beauty of these wedding dresses is that it helps add curves to a thin figure and structure to a fuller one. These dresses superadd the shape of your shoulders and arms, and provide you with an elegant, sexy look that no other style can.
