10 Bridal Dress Style Tips

1. A sleek bodice will enhance a full or ornamental skirt. Do not be tempted to try and "balance" the amount of fullness of the skirt unless you are actually after an hourglass silhouette.

2. A bride in a strapless gown must cover her shoulders for the church ceremony. Use a shawl, bolero, a jacket, a coat, a collar, detachable sleeves or long full veils.

3. A wide neckline or an off-the-shoulder design will enhance beautiful shoulders.

4. The simpler the bodice, the less it will draw attention to full busts.

5. If you have a very curvy figure, select a gown with detailing either in the bodice or in the skirt; never in both.

6. A plunging neckline will show off your bust line; however, it ought not to be the only noticeable feature in your gown.

7. If your legs are your best feature; choose a sheath with a slit, or an angled hemline.

8. A long, swanlike neck is shown to best advantage when the bride wears a choker, or when the gown is designed with a high-neck cut-out neckline.

9. Want to be daring without showing to much? Wear a dress with a plunging back, or a backless gown.

10. Choose a shade to flatter the natural colour of your skin; so don't wear make-up to fittings. Remember that the time of day will have a bearing on the ultimate result; so try on dresses during the same time-band as your wedding.
