Wedding Fashion

Whether you're of Canadian, Eastern European, Chinese, Japanese, or a combination of many backgrounds, if you're looking to incorporate tradition into your wedding look, brides today have more options than ever before. Have fun mixing the old with the new, and create your own tradition.

Before you pick out your dress, the most important thing is to know what you want.

  1. Firts look through some bridal magazines & websites.
  2. Mark the dresses that come close to what you want.
  3. When you try on the dress, make sure that you feel comfortable, or else you won't be able to enjoy your special day.
  4. The last thing is that your dress should make you feel like a princess. After all that, just have fun watching everyone gasp at the sight of you and your beautiful gown.
 
All of us want to look good in our wedding gowns. Here are some useful tips:

You're Petite
Dos : A-Line or sheath dress will work well. These shapes create a long uninterrupted line.
Don'ts : Keep away from big ball gowns with voluminous fabric, as they might look like they're wearing you.

You're Tall
Dos : Tall women look great in everything. Accentuate your collarbone with a fitted bodice and open neckline.
Don'ts : Skip gowns that boast high necklines and long sleeves, and stay away from headpiece that add too much extra weight.

You're Short-Waisted
Dos : A princess-line silhouette, fitted at the bodice and opening up gradually to a full skirt, will elegantly elongate your figure.
Don'ts : Avoid a stealth as its long, lean column shape may draw unwanted attention to your short waist.

You're Thick-Waisted
Dos : Empire gown will de-emphasize yourwahitline and provide a long, slim look.
Don'ts : Stay away from a princes-line waist as they win draw too much aftentionto your middle.

You're Broad-Shouldered
Dos: Expose your beautiful shoulder with a halter, or go for drama in a gown with long off-the-shoulder sleeves. Select a dress with narrow bodice that offsets you shoulders and helps create an hourglass shape.
Don'ts : Avoid off-the-shoulder-necklines, which produce a widening effect in the place you don't want it.

You're Busty
Dos : Simple, V-neckline to avoid clumsiness.
Don'ts : Stay away from a jewel neckline, which will make you appear bustier.
