How to choose the perfect wedding dress

So you've accepted the proposal, chosen the venue and notified the guests – now it's time for one of the most important decisions of your life. But how to choose your dream wedding dress from the thousands of designs on offer? Let our helpful guide assist you in choosing the dress that's right for you.

Many women have had their idea of their dream wedding dress in their head since they were a little girl. However, what seemed like the perfect dress then might not be ideal for you now. Think about your shape and choose a dress that is designed to flatter your figure. Are you a traditional pear-shape? Shaping and details that focus attention above your waist will create the illusion of a more balanced figure. Got a curvy shape? Go for an open neckline like a sweetheart of deep V to make the most of your shape. Petite women often look best in shorter, knee-length styles, while those with a boyish shape can create curves with a fitted top and a flared A-Line skirt.

Remember, you don't need to stick to white either. Paler skin tones look great in ivory, cream or champagne, while those with darker skin can pull off a starker white. Or why not throw out the rule book altogether and go for a shade you love? You can find beautiful wedding dresses in red, green, purple, black or any colour you care to mention – and you're sure to make a statement when you walk down the aisle!
