Flattering Elegance: How to Choose a Wedding Gown that Perfectly Complements Your Body Shape!

The big day is coming along fast, have you selected your dress? The wedding gown is always one of the key features of the event. This can only mean that it should be perfect. Now you might argue that there is nothing perfect under the sun. However, it is possible to have that wedding gown that makes your event the point of reference whenever one mentions a great wedding.

It goes without saying that the gown is that which accentuates the beauty of your body type. There are women who go the extra mile to shed off a bit of weight for their wedding. This is also highly encouraged but if you do not have the time to do it- do not force yourself. Here are some tips on how to select the best wedding gown for your body type.

Pear-shaped body

These are the people whose hip region is wider than the bust. For such a body shape, the finest gowns gradually flare out in an A-formation. It highlights the narrowness of the midsection and floats away from the hips and thighs. An off-shoulder collar is really tricky for any body shape but then for pear-shapes, it tends to work almost all the time.

Hour-glass

The hourglass ladies are those whose bust and hip regions are pretty much the same size. The goal of the gown in this case will be to enlarge the face slightly and display your neck without showing too much cleavage. The narrow midsection should also be highlighted, and this is possible if you get the aforementioned dress for pear-shaped bodies. To accentuate your face go for a dress with an elegant neckline and if you take a strapless gown (off-shoulder) it should have a slight dip along the neckline.

Plus-size

Long gone are the days when plus-sized women could not get elegant wedding gowns in the shops. You can make your size work for you. This is possible if the dress is too tight or too loose. An empire dress whose skirt begins just under the bust and flows out gradually is perfect. Ensure that the empire seam is not starting on the chest and that there are no pleats on the fabric otherwise, it will look like a maternity piece. If too loose, the dress will make the body look more prominent.

Apple-shape

The hip and bust regions are the same size with no defined waistline. The dress should not emphasize this fact. The best part to emphasize is the neckline. It will call attention to the upper region more. Add stunning jewelry, and you will not have to worry about people focusing too much on your belly area.

Tips to consider when choosing a wedding invitation

Choosing to have a wedding invitation can cause fear similar to selecting the right wedding dress. This is because the first feeling will last a lifetime, and invitations tend to bring out the ideal theme and tone of the wedding. It will also become an unforgettable experience for your mother-in-law. Some of the tips to consider when making a wedding invitation include:

Determine your colors

It is crucial to consider the colors for your wedding too. One might desire to incorporate a motif and colors in their wedding invitation and carry both of them to the remaining wedding paper which includes either ceremony programs, menu cards or escort cards. This forms a more unifying appearance. Contrary to choosing a formal white, cream or ivory card paired with gold or black font, you could consider having a brighter look comprising of metallic or colorful font, liners, envelopes and paper stock. However, it is essential to consider readability when selecting the colors.

Make invitations legible

It is good to consider the text equally as the patterns and colors. This is because the information in the card is the reason for sending it to guests. You can choose to seek help from a stationer in your locality. However, avoid dark ink on dark backgrounds and light ink on light backgrounds. Pastels and yellow are usually difficult to read. Therefore, if you decide to go with them, it is crucial to ensure the background contrasts well for the letters to remain visible or incorporate the colors into the design instead of the text. Additionally, beware of text that is difficult to read such as an extreme scripted typeface.

Avoid overcrowding the wedding card

Write down only the important points on your wedding invitation card. This includes the RSVP information, dress code (optional), and the names of the couple, the hosts, location and time of the event. The attempt to squeeze a lot of information onto the card can make it difficult to read hence not elegant. Leave out details concerning post-wedding activities for your website or have them printed on separate enclosed cards as well as directions to your wedding location. The place that you got registered should not belong anywhere on a person’s suite. The wedding website is the only acceptable place to write any information regarding registry.

Have your dates right

The RSVP information should be included on the bottom right corner of the card or a separate enclosure. It is also important to ensure that the deadline does not extend to more than three or four weeks after the invitations have been given to the guests.

It is advisable for an individual to purchase a sample of the invitation before deciding to make an order. This allows you to see the quality of the invitation card before making a large order. Viewing the product makes the whole difference.
