All eyes will be focused on you on your wedding day—the Bride! So, it is only natural that you want to look your very best. But, while you may sincerely try to stick to your workout regimen and diet to be in top shape on your wedding day, we know it is not always possible.
So, what do you do if you cannot make it? You fake it!
Here are some tips on choosing a wedding gown that will allow you to look slimmer than you are on your wedding day.
It is your daughter’s wedding day, and you have to find a dress to wear. Let’s face it! This is a difficult task.
After your daughter, you are the next person who will be scrutinized by the wedding guests on this big day, and you do not want to disappoint.
Just because your little girl is getting married, it doesn’t mean you should restrict your dress choices to ones that are matronly, and a safe choice. This is your chance to shine too, and a well-dressed mother will be appreciated.
So, here are some tips to help you find a dress that will allow you to look glamorous, and be a perfect reflection of the woman you are.
Forget safe choices

As they age, women are usually uncomfortable flaunting their figure, even though they may look better than they did when they were getting married themselves. The so-called age-appropriate dress choices are often boring and without personality. Don’t make this mistake when you choose your mother-of-the-bride dress.
When you look at dresses, choose a flattering silhouette, and a pretty design that matches your personality. Go for a color that isn’t blah! You don’t need to expose skin to look glamorous, a dress that fits well, and enhances your best features can do this for you. You don’t want to upstage your daughter at her wedding, but make sure you don’t disappoint either. For once, choose a design that isn’t your signature style, and you will feel fabulous everytime you hear a flattering comment.
Don’t be afraid of experimenting with the latest trends

If there are mother-of-the-bride dresses that incorporate the latest fashion trends such as ruffles, asymmetrical pleats, off-the-shoulder necklines and embellishments, its because they are what women of today love. So, don’t think the latest trends are not worth your attention. You have nothing to lose by trying it on and checking whether it suits you. If the dress reflects your spirit, take it; if it is a little too girlish for your choice, leave it.
Sometimes, a dress in an unusual shade may have a stunning effect, so keep your mind open and you may find a fantastic choice. To know your options, make sure you check with your daughter on which colors would go with the wedding color palette. Once you know your options, you can make a good choice.
Customize to suit your taste

If you love a sexy, stylish gown, but are worried of whether you may later think it is inappropriate or regret it, consider having sheer sleeves added, or pair it with a matching wrap or mock bolero, and you can have the best of both worlds. Also, when choosing a dress, pay attention to whether it covers or camouflages problem areas. This will allow you to feel more confident when wearing it. Consider using good shapewear that will support your figure, and you will immediately feel the difference.
Accessorize with a matching stole or scarf, and attractive jewelry, and make the effort to look fantastic on your daughter’s special day. Don’t forget to add a matching pair of comfortable, but elegant shoes to complete your look.

When you find the dress of your dreams, all the confusion about whether the dress with the beautiful neckline is better than the one with the stunning back details suddenly disappears. You do not think of any other dress but this one. This is because this is “the dress!”
You suddenly feel emotional, or someone accompanying you tears up seeing you in the dress.
The normal reaction for a bride who has found the perfect dress is to feel emotional suddenly. But, if you aren’t the person for tears, there is still a chance that someone who has accompanied you will be tearing up. The right dress will amaze everyone when they see you walk out in it. When you find everyone glassy-eyed and unable to take their eyes off you, you should know that this dress is perfect.
You feel you’ve never looked this beautiful before

The magic of the perfect dress is that it makes you feel like a Goddess. You feel you look flawless from head to toe. Everything, or almost everything, about the dress, flatters you, and you cannot think of anything that you want to change in this dress. You do not want to take it off and are mesmerized by how well it suits you from every angle. If you feel your dress is the best you’ve worn all your life, don’t think anymore—buy it.
You begin imagining your wedding day already.
When you find a dress that fits your expectations, the first picture that comes to mind is walking down the aisle and getting married. Images of your big day are formed in your mind, and you imagine the wedding ceremony. You may need to make a few changes and alter it to fit you perfectly, but you can’t wait to wear it and amaze everyone with how beautiful you look in it.
All your previous ideas for your wedding dress seem insignificant when you try this dress.
You may have decided to settle for nothing but a ball gown skirt or be unable to imagine anything but a sweetheart bodice, but when you find the right dress, all these thoughts disappear from your mind. Even when the silhouette, neckline, sleeves and pattern are entirely different from what you had envisioned, you will not want to look at another dress. This is a sure sign that you have found your dream wedding gown.
