WEDDING DRESS TRY-ON✨👰🏽‍♀️

2024/4/1 Edited to

... Read moreFinding your dream wedding dress is one of the most magical parts of wedding planning, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming with so many beautiful options out there! When I first started my search, I knew I wanted something that celebrated my curvy figure, and understanding different wedding dress shapes became key to narrowing down my choices. It’s not just about what looks good on a hanger; it’s about what makes you feel amazing and confident. Let me share a bit about the main wedding dress shapes I encountered and what I learned, especially for us curvy brides: 1. The A-Line Gown: This is often a go-to for a reason! The A-line silhouette is universally flattering, gently flaring out from the waist to form an 'A' shape. I found it created a lovely, elongated look without being too voluminous. It’s perfect if you want to highlight your waist and feel comfortable, as it doesn't cling to the hips or thighs. For a curvy bride, it offers a beautiful balance, providing shape without being overly restrictive. 2. The Ball Gown: For those who dream of a fairytale wedding, the ball gown is it! With a fitted bodice and a dramatically full skirt, it’s truly iconic. While I adore the grandeur, I learned that the sheer volume can sometimes overwhelm a petite frame. However, for a curvy bride, a ball gown can be incredibly majestic, cinching the waist and creating a stunning hourglass effect. Just be mindful of the fabric and how much 'poof' you're comfortable with! 3. The Mermaid/Trumpet Silhouette: Oh, the mermaid! This style is all about showcasing curves. It hugs the body from the chest to the knee, then flares out dramatically. The trumpet is similar but flares out a bit higher, typically mid-thigh. I loved how these shapes celebrated my figure, making me feel glamorous and sexy. If you're confident and want to show off your curves, definitely give these a try. Just remember, comfort for dancing might be a factor, so make sure you can move freely! 4. The Sheath/Column Dress: This silhouette flows straight down from the neckline to the hem, creating a sleek, minimalist look. It's often made from lighter fabrics and can be incredibly elegant. For curvy brides, a well-structured sheath can be stunning, but it’s important to find one that skims your body rather than clings, emphasizing your natural shape beautifully. I found that some fabrics worked better than others to achieve that effortless, sophisticated feel. 5. The Empire Waist: This style features a fitted bodice that ends just below the bust, with the rest of the dress flowing loosely to the hem. It's known for being comfortable and ethereal. While it might typically be associated with maternity wear, an empire waist can be incredibly flattering for curvy brides, especially if you're looking for something that offers a soft, romantic drape without emphasizing the waist or hips. It’s a wonderful choice if you want to feel relaxed yet elegant. My biggest takeaway? Go into your try-on appointments with an open mind! Even if you have a specific wedding dress shape in mind, try on a variety of styles. You might be surprised by what you fall in love with. What looked amazing on a model might not feel right on you, and vice-versa. And don't forget to move around in the dresses – sit, walk, even a little dance – to ensure you’ll be comfortable all day. Each shape offers something unique, and the goal is to find the one that makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your special day!

What are our thoughts on a black wedding dress?
I’m very non traditional. I love pushing boundaries and to be honest, white’s just not my color. I love black!! 🤩🤩 I think it’s classy, elegant, slimming, and who said white had had to be the traditional wedding dress color??? I don’t think I even own a white dress to be honest. It’s so hard to wea
