Choosing Wedding Jewellery When choosing your wedding jewellery it helps to consider the following points: Wedding Dress Neckline Consider the neckline of your dress. Strapless dresses usually suit a rounder shaped wedding necklace whereas a dress with a V-shape looks good with pearl pendants and wedding necklaces that include a drop. Detailing Does your wedding dress include any beaded detailing? Try to match the detail of your wedding jewellery to any detailing included on your dress. For example if your dress has crystal beading it is best to try and include this in your wedding jewellery. It is also worth thinking about the types of hair decorations you will be wearing, these should ideally match your wedding jewellery as well. Colour Matching Be sure the colour of your beads match best with your gown. Overall look If you want to keep your look simple you may decide to just wear one piece of wedding jewellery, as well as the ring you'll getting at the alter! In this case consider how much the piece will show up and if it balances with any hair decorations etc. |

~ Wedding Dresses: The One For You ~ SHORTER BRIDES A petite bride should steer carefully through the sea of over-the-top bridal designs that threaten to overwhelm her small frame. A tea-length wedding dress – or knee-length wedding dress – can look stunning on a shorter bride and is a good way to avoid looking as if you are swamped by a giant meringue. An empire-line wedding dress – a style with a seam under the bust line – is a romantic, flowing choice that can help even out proportions and give the illusion of height. Avoid slim, straight styles, and overly full or elaborate skirts. LARGER BRIDES By choosing designs that flatter their curves and hide their least-favourite bits, larger brides can look breathtaking. As with all shapes and sizes, there is no substitute for trying on many different styles of dress to see which works best for you. Simple designs are usually best, and needn’t be boring! Sheer fabrics can be a pretty way to provide extra coverage of your arms or upper body without adding bulk. They can be used as part of the dress itself or to make a separate shawl or beautiful ‘coat’. Avoid NOTHING, unless you’ve tried it on and are certain it’s not for you!! Larger-sized brides will each have their own body shape, so it’s worth trying a range of different-style dresses before ruling anything out. BOYISH FIGURE It’s more straightforward than you might think to add shape to a straight-up-and-down figure. A full-skirted wedding dress can give the illusion of a well-defined waist, but beware: it can also make your bust look smaller. A crumb-catcher neckline is a simple layered effect that adds interest at the bustline – a good way to add definition if you’re small up top. A two-piece ensemble (corset and skirt) can be more flattering than a one-piece dress when it comes to breaking up the straight lines of a boyish figure. Avoid very straight or ‘column’ styles. PEAR-SHAPED FIGURE The combination of narrow shoulders and broad hips can be cleverly balanced out with the right choice of dress. A two-piece wedding dress can be a winner when trying to balance the look of a pear-shaped figure. A princess-line wedding dress or skirt is a flattering option. It’s similar to an A-line design (also flattering to most figures) but has no seam at the waist, so avoids drawing attention where it’s not wanted! A detailed bodice can draw attention away from broader hips. Combine it with a simple A-line or princess-line skirt for best results. Avoid straight or bias-cut designs, or styles that are gathered at the waist or on the hips. Halterneck designs are also unflattering to pear-shaped figures. HOURGLASS FIGURE This body shape is characterised by a well-defined waistline, often accompanied by a full bust and hips which are in proportion to each other. Think Marilyn Monroe and you’ll get the idea. A strapless wedding dress can look fantastic on a shapely figure… Just make sure your bust has the necessary support! A low-cut neckline is flattering to a full bust – as long as it’s within the bounds of decency, of course! Off-the-shoulder styles fall into the right category, and are well worth a try. Avoid gathered or pleated skirts, which can add bulk around the hips. Bias-cut or otherwise clingy designs should also be approached with caution as they accentuate the parts you might prefer to skim over. High necklines can be unflattering to larger busts. And to make the most of your curves, go for a one-piece dress as opposed to a two-piece. [B]Four Popular Dress Cuts[/b] 1. A-line. An A-line wedding dress is one of the most popular shapes, flattering most figures and giving a neat, up-to-the-minute look. When the skirt is kept slim, an A-line wedding dress can highlight the top half of your body and detract from the lower half. 2. Princess line. This has the same general shape as the A-line but without a seam at the waist. This gives a long, unbroken line that is very flattering to most figures. The skirt begins to flare just below the bride’s natural waist, which can help disguise a heavier bottom. 3. Empire line. With its seam just under the bustline and a long, straight-ish skirt, the empire line is straight out of a Jane Austen novel. The fact that the skirt starts so much higher than waist level creates an illusion of height, which makes it an ideal cut for petite brides. 4. Full skirt. This is the classic ‘fairytale bride’ look, giving a traditionally romantic silhouette but one that does not suit every bride |
