Classic wedding dress or more original outfit, discover all the options now!
Choose your wedding dress
Particularly awaited, the choice of the perfect wedding dress is not without difficulties. Cut, style, budget: all the elements to take into account sometimes make this particular moment a real headache!
Your morphology
Above all, know that it is essential to choose a dress that suits your body perfectly. Indeed, this will allow you to highlight your body and its assets, but also to feel even more beautiful on your wedding day. Width of your hips and shoulders, body size… knowing your morphology will put you on the path to the ideal wedding dress. So, do not hesitate to refer to the following correspondence:
- For an H-shaped morphology, opt for dresses with volumes featuring plays on materials (ruffles, overlays, tulle, etc.) and embellished with fantasies – lace patterns, pearls, rhinestones… give free rein to your desires!
- Do you have a V body shape? Highlight your legs with models with short, split bottoms, topped with a top with long or short sleeves, or with thick straps.
- Conversely, A-shaped morphologies will play on the volumes at the level of the bust, thanks to various ornaments, and will opt for a flared and sober bottom.
- For an O morphology, the empire cut dress is ideal, since it highlights the bust and the neckline while discreetly hiding the curves.
- Finally, body shapes in 8 are lucky enough to be able to wear all fitted dress cuts (sheath, bustier, mermaid, etc.), but would be disadvantaged by too large volumes.
Of course, these suggestions are given to you as an indication. All bodies are beautiful and unique; so don’t hesitate to try on all the dresses you like!
The wedding theme
Many future spouses place their marriage under the sign of a particular theme. Most of the time, they choose it according to their tastes and their personality, but also according to the identity of the place of reception chosen or the atmosphere they wish to create on D-Day. If the choice of your wedding dress wedding does not necessarily have to depend on your theme, it is necessary if the latter is very specific, such as:
- A medieval wedding.
- A marriage of foreign origin.
- A 1930s style wedding.
- A wedding on the theme of a film or a series with a particular universe.
- Etc.
These daring and very original themes imply the choice of a suitable outfit, which you will only find in specialized stores. I therefore advise you to do it as soon as possible in order to find an outfit that suits you completely!
In addition, in the case of a more widespread theme, you will have to pay attention to the style of the dress:
- For a country wedding, prefer bohemian dresses, with very fluid materials.
- For a chic wedding, very structured dresses will be perfect.
- For a wedding placed under the sign of a color, consider including the hue in question to your dress!
Choose your top and skirt
Do you want to stand out from other brides and try something other than the traditional dress? More modern, the top and skirt set is one of the major wedding trends of recent years.
Comfort and modernity
The wedding top and skirt set allows you to break the codes of the wedding dress, which is more classic and often wiser, but also to wear a much more comfortable outfit. However, your comfort is essential since you will wear this outfit all day and all night! In addition, a set generally adapts better to your morphology, because you choose the top and the bottom separately. It is therefore quite possible to opt for a different size on the two pieces, so that the outfit highlights your body perfectly.
A wider choice
Another major advantage: by opting for the top and skirt set, you benefit from numerous possibilities in terms of style. Mix and match the tops and skirts that you like, to create a unique outfit that looks like you! And for an ultra original look, do not hesitate to mix the different designs, while making sure to maintain a certain harmony.
Note that this bridal outfit is perfect for a wedding with a bucolic spirit, in a place of character and a decoration with natural materials.
Daring the bridal jumpsuit
Classy and minimalist, the jumpsuit will certainly make you look like a star at the Cannes Film Festival. Here once more, there are many styles: flowing or structured pants, American neckline top that nicely clears the shoulders or three-quarter sleeves… The bridal jumpsuit comes in multiple versions and adapts to your desires. If it is an outfit often chosen on the occasion of the civil wedding, nothing prevents you from wearing a jumpsuit during all of your festivities. Combined with an elegant pair of heels and a few accessories, it will enhance your figure for sure!
Some bulk advice
Because the selection of your wedding outfit for women must remain engraved in your memory, here are some tips which, I am sure, will allow you to cross this course serenely and to have all the keys in hand to make the right choice. :
- Do some scouting: online or in store, the wedding market is full of unsuspected nuggets. By doing your research beforehand, you can project yourself and get a clearer idea of what you want to wear on your big day.
- Define your budget: if the financial aspect of the preparations is not the most pleasing, it is nevertheless essential to define the budget that you wish to allocate to your outfit. Thus, you immediately eliminate models whose price is too high for you.
- Try the spotted models: some of them might disappoint you and ultimately not totally correspond to what you are looking for. This is therefore an opportunity to confirm (or not) your favorites.
- Don’t get stuck on a specific idea: if you don’t like certain models right away, try them anyway; you might be very pleasantly surprised!
- Surround yourself with people you trust, with whom you feel comfortable and who will be able to give you objective advice during your fittings.
- Finally, remember to take into account the season in which you are getting married: if it is impossible to predict the weather conditions on D-Day, you can still know the trends and plan, if necessary, a parasol or an umbrella, a bolero or a shawl, or even sunglasses and a hat to match your outfit.
The outfit of the bride is often highly anticipated at a wedding. However, this is not a reason to put pressure on you! I advise you to remain yourself, to follow your desires and your intuitions; if you are happy and fulfilled, you will certainly be the most beautiful!
