WEDDING NOTES™ - Wedding Gown Styles for You

When you are shopping for your wedding gown, selecting a style that is appropriate for your body shape is the secret to looking amazing on your special day.  Shopping for your gown at a store that has the knowledge to make you look fabulous should be your goal.   We have specially trained consultants who do know how to find the RIGHT dress for you.

What to look for!

If you are a petite bride – shorter than 5’4” and small boned, look for gowns that give the illusion of more height like off the shoulder or gowns with vertical lines.  Your goal is to draw the eyes upward by keeping details at a minimum and focusing the eye to the bodice area.

If you are tall – usually 5’9” or taller, you can wear a wider variety of shapes.  It is best to emphasize your longer proportions.  Bias cut skirts and straight designs can be fabulous.

If you are a plus size consider a gown with a skirt that flows from just under the breast to the floor.  A-line silhouettes and princess lines work well as well as does heavier fabric like satin.

If yours is a triangle shape – narrower on the top and fuller on the bottom, your goal is to create balance.  A V neckline is excellent for you.

We have a wide selection of different styles and silhouettes – one will be perfect for you.  For answers to your questions, call.
