Before you Say "I DO"...

Seems like it’s out there somewhere in the future but it will come before you know it! And I bet most of you if you are like me would have spent at least 1 minute dreaming about your wedding and most importantly your wedding dress. Although people dream differently about their wedding set up, all of them (or at least the majority) dream walking down the aisle with a ballroom gown felling like a princess. But most people fail to realize that they are many options when going for a bridal dress that flatters your body shape while still looking like a princess (but not necessarily one out of the Disney world!).

According to Wedding Solutions.com, there are five distinct types of styles (or silhouette - bridal boutique lingo!) one can opt for:

A-Line - This is especially ideal for people with heavy bottoms and who are short. By having a defined waist and a natural cut, this style is appropriate to divert attention from flawed areas. Also, it can be worn to a backyard ceremony or at a church with doing appropriate modifications. Adding beads can give a formal look while lace can look heavy on A-line.

Empire Waist - Brides who do not want to draw attention to their waist or tummy fat should go for this style. This is also perfect for pregnant brides as the loose flow is comfortable to wear for the ceremony and reception. Wide sleeveless and v-necks are the best option while other variations also can adapt well.

Column - Not something that is to be worn by brides who want to hide their flaws. This dress comes down in a straight line that basically clings to your body. If you are proud of your curves then this is the best option. However there are some things that just don't work with this kind of dress: long, short or semi sleeves spoils the look and also this is something that shouldn't (or wouldn't be appreciated) if you are having a traditional church ceremony.

Ballroom - Wanna have a fairy tale wedding? Well then this is the dress you would want to walk down the aisle! These are ideal for any traditional/formal ceremony. It is also easier to play with different necklines, sleeves and waist styles without worrying about changing the magical look. Although most people can wear this dress, this is not typically for a short and slim bride as you will look disproportionate to the dress.

Mermaid - Just like a column style but with a little interesting pattern at the bottom! This is ideal for slender brides who can show their curves without regretting it 30 years latter! Nowadays people opt for a Mermaid dress because it looks more stunning and bold but it is important to think through it because you might not feel comfortable wearing such type of clothing if you are surrounded by conservative parents/relatives!

Hope this gives you an idea on what style to choose when "that day" suddenly seems really close!
