To wear dress of their own choice on that auspicious day is everybody’s wish. But it does not mean that any dress hanging on a hanger will look good on you. Except style, fabrics and cuts, one more important thing that should be taken care of while selecting a dress is body type. This article will help you to choose the right wedding dress style for your own body shape, by knowing about it.

The Full-Figured Bride
Many full-figured women are in illusion that nothing looks good on them. But this is their biggest mistake. They look stunning in A-line silhouettes. It draws attention from the waistline and at the same time lengthens the entire body. The empire waist dresses are also a good choice as they conceal waist and hips. Also deep V-necks and scoop necks flatter curvy figures, and always look best on full-figured women. If you will follow this, surely no need to regret later.

The Petite Bride
An A-line dresses suits petite bride also as it is told earlier their style lengthens the body. Sheath dresses seem to shorten their figure, so avoid wearing them. But full skirts are fair enough. Petite women should be very careful with strapless gowns while lifting their arms. So best is to go for cap sleeves as it gives a feeling of strapless gown and also holds gown in its place.

The Large-Busted Bride
On large busted brides Off-the-shoulder gowns look wonderful. It takes attention towards the shoulders and minimizes the chest. Your skirt should be narrow. Wearing a full skirt will make you look large both on top and bottom.

The Bottom-Heavy Bride
Women who have heavy hips and buttocks should wear A-line skirts to avert attention from hips. A-line skirts show off arms, back and bust line. Also avoid pleats or gathered fabric around the waist.

Right fit will definitely flatter your figure and that’ s the key to great style. No matter how beautiful your dress is, but it will not leave its mark until you are not dressing for your body type. Take special care of this factor and see the magic your wedding dress will do.

A good, professional photographer will know all the tricks of the trade to make sure you look great in the pictures.

Lighting is an essential tool for flattering wedding photographs. Pictures taken in the bright midday sun can create harsh shadows & make your wedding dress appear bleached out. Try & take your photos later in the day when the sun is lower or find a shaded area to take them in.

You may have heard of celebrities wanting to be photographed from their ‘best side’. The angle of the shot is important & will help create interest in the picture. Try to stand with your shoulders forward rather than square on to the camera. If you turn your body 30 to 40 degrees you will look half a stone lighter! Super models have a trick of turning their face at a 45-degree angle to make their face appear slimmer.

Make-Up Tips
The best advice is to aim for a polished version of your normal everyday look & not to try for a dramatic new image. The trick is to try to look natural but not washed out.

If you think that nerves will get the better of you on the day think about hiring a make up artist or ask a friend to apply your make up for your. Chances are they will have a steadier hand! If you hire a professional, try & schedule a trial run at home before the wedding day.

Sticking with a natural look will make you look like a slightly more glamorous version of yourself! Add definition to your features -eyes, eyebrows, but try to avoid harsh lines from liquid liners or pencils.

Your teeth will appear whiter if you choose a pink-brown lipstick rather than an orange or red one which can make them appears yellow. Choose your lipstick with your skin tone in mind, for instance, cherry red lipstick with pale skin can be harsh. Avoid very pale or pearly lipsticks.

If you have chosen to have black & white photos you should take even more care with your makeup. Dark lipstick & too much blusher will appear even darker in this style of photo, whilst pastel shades can seem to disappear altogether.

Waterproof mascara is a must have - just in case you get a bit tearful. If you are prone to redness after waxing & plucking do it at least four days before the wedding so there is time for it to calm down & your skin tone return to normal.

Try to avoid too much around your face. Choose a veil, headdress, jewelry & neckline with care so they will compliment each other & not overwhelm you.

Make sure your nails are in tip top condition. Your hands may be the focus of many pictures, so book a professional manicure before the wedding day.

Carry a bag or ask someone to carry one for you & make sure it contains your make up so you can freshen up throughout the day.

Enjoy The Moment. Take some time to enjoy being engaged - just the two of you, before the wedding day rollercoaster gets underway. Make a journal of your engagement story & together envisage the wonderful things to come.

Tell The Parents. Make sure you tell them before anyone else! Both of you should tell them together & in person, show them the ring & start making plans for the big day. After your parents tell you closest friends, especially those you are considering asking to take on roles such as best man, maid of honor etc.

Start A Wedding Journal. There are lots of purpose writhed books designed to help brides plan their day, but really any plain notebook will do. Use like a diary & organizer to record important dates, suppliers addresses, phone numbers, quotes, ideas & decisions. You can also do your journaling online on sites such as livejournal.com.

Announce Your Engagement. There are a number of ways to announce your engagement, such as newspapers, sending announcements to family & friends & online by creating your own wedding website.

Set The Date. This is one of the big decisions - which day to get married on? Do this first as planning all other aspects of your wedding day will be impossible without it!

Decide on The Tone of Your Day. Do you want a big white wedding, at a traditional church or a less formal affair with a civil ceremony? Do want a theme? Indoors or outdoors? Discuss together about your ideal wedding day & what you would both like. Write everything down & use it as a starting point.

The Budget. Everything will hinge on the amount of money you have to spend on the ceremony, dress, reception & honeymoon. These days, many couples will pay either in whole or in part for their wedding, although the tradition of the brides parents paying for the day still exists. Decide on where the finances will come from & set your budget accordingly. Try to avoid going into debt, although you could consider applying for a new credit card with incentives such as Air-Miles which could help towards costs. Budget planners are available online & will help you prioritize portions of your budget to areas such as the reception & catering.

Choose Your Attendants. Decide on who will be the best man, maid of honor, bridesmaids, flowergirls etc & decide how many attendants you will have. Get them involved early as their help will be invaluable in the decision making & organizing.

Choose Venues for The Ceremony & Reception. Many venues are booked up well in advance, so start looking early to avoid disappointment.

Ask for Help & Support. There is a lot of working in organizing a wedding & you do not have to do it alone. Ask for help & support from family & friends or think about hiring a wedding planner who can bring fresh ideas & maybe even save you money. Visit online forums for stories from real couples who have been there & done it!

With all these big decisions made you can concentrate on the fun stuff such as wedding dresses, wedding favors & flowers!
