How To Choose A Wedding Dress

One of the most exciting aspects of a wedding is the hunt for the perfect wedding dress. Most brides already have a rough idea about the type of dress they would like to wear on that day and this is usually a good starting point.

Even if you have a certain type of dress in mind, you will need to make sure that it suits the type of wedding you want to have. For example, if you are picturing yourself in a princess style dress but want a more causal beach wedding then the two will clash. This is why it is always best to start looking for your wedding dress early. If you find the perfect dress mini wedding dresses but it doesn suit the rest of the wedding then you will have time to alter the wedding style to match your dress.

Budget aside, the most important factor in deciding which dress to choose will be your body shape. As you try on different dresses and come across different styles, take note of the dresses that flatter your body shape the best. Every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day so make sure you choose a wedding dress that enhances your best features and hides what you want to keep hidden.

When shopping for your wedding dress it would be a good idea to take your mum or maid of honour along for the ride. This way, you can get a second opinion on which dress to choose. Just make sure that who ever you summer wedding dresses take along is straightforward enough to tell you when a dress suits you and when a dress doesn. To choose a wedding dress that is perfect for you it is always better to shop with someone whose opinion you can trust.

Finally keep in mind that this is your day. When you find the perfect dress that makes you look exactly how you pictured you should on your wedding day then don let it go. After all, if it doesn suit the rest of your wedding theme you could always tweak your wedding theme a little to enhance the dress.

Picking Jewellery To Match Your Wedding Dress

Sometimes your dream necklace and your dream wedding dress will unfortunately not make the perfect bridal outfit. The following is a list of popular wedding dress styles, with jewellery suggestions to match them.

Off-the-shoulder Dress

There is a lot of dolletage on show with this style of dress so you don really have much for your jewellery to compete with. You could therefore go for any style you wish. However, always bear in mind the level of detail on the dress. For a very simple dress with little or no embroidery, we would recommend a delicate necklace teamed with matching earrings to compliment the simplicity of the top of this dress.

Scoop neck Dress

A scoop-neck on a dress is another versatile choice when it comes to choosing your Bridal Jewellery, as all necklace shapes will compliment the neckline. Our favourites for a scoop-neck dress would be a dramatic pendant drop necklace teamed with a single-strand pearl bracelet, which will complete your wedding look perfectly and very elegantly.

Sweetheart Dress

With a sweetheart neckline, the neckline is almost an accessory in itself and flatters the bride's neck and shoulders beautifully all on its own. Therefore you need to be careful not to over-accessorise it with elaborate Bridal Jewellery, and instead complement the shape. A sweetheart bodice looks stunning with a pendant necklace and matching earrings, which mirror the shape of the neckline.

Asymmetric or One Shoulder Dress

With the asymmetric gown, it is best to choose a great bracelet and pair of earrings, as a necklace will look unbalanced and unnatural. The one shoulder dress is a bold move; match it with a bold Bridal Bracelet and glamorous Bridal Earrings.
