But, they all come in different shapes and sizes, so they have to find the wedding dress that will complement their figure. Once when the bride knows what will look the best on her, she will have less problems with choosing the style of her gown. Here are some tips on picking the right wedding dress to flatter bride’s body type.

An apple shaped bride will look her best if she accentuate the bust and minimizes the abdomen, so she should look for the high-waist wedding dress, such as empire style wedding gown. Slim bodice A-line gowns are also recommended.

A pear-shaped bride should look for the wedding dress that emphasizes the bodice and loosely flow over her body. Bustier, a round neckline halter, strapless wedding dress – all that works amazing for a pear shaped bride, as well as A-line wedding dress.

An hourglass-shaped bride has two solutions, according to her own body and preferences, to hide or accentuate her curves. A-line with a full skirt, cinched waist and a strapless top or a ball wedding gown are the choices if a bride wants to hide her curves. If an hourglass shaped bride wants to accentuate her curves, a form-fitting sheath wedding gown will do the trick.

A petite-shaped bride might lengthen her small frame by showing off her legs – so, a short hemline wedding dress is the best choice. Column-style sheath wedding dress is a nice solution for creating a longer silhouette. A-line wedding dress will also elongate the line, while minimizing the waistline. An empire style dress will do the same trick as the a-line one.

A full figured-shaped bride wants to look slimmer on her big day. So, she should opt for corseted waist wedding dress to highlight the torso and minimize the lower body. A-line bridal gowns also makes full figured-shaped brides look slimmer.
