We all know that weddings are a big deal and can be stressful. Please consider that this is a memorable time and you will want to look back on it with joy, not a headache. The more you can learn about the process, the better, so here are some tips about choosing the perfect wedding dress to ease your mind, including how to handle a budget.

Current Design Trends
The most recent dresses to hit the runways are mix of bold and traditional styles and feature a lot of eye grabbing details. Combination of right dressing sense & narrowing down on related pattern will give a stunning bridal look.

Feathers
Feathers are a striking fashion design application when used tastefully. They provide lots of movement, especially for brides headed down the aisle, and create a real fairytale look. Wedding dresses with feathers top the list of trends for the upcoming season, like this beautiful example called Andy by Kelly Faetanini. If you are looking in a lower price point or prefer to keep your dress lower key, Milanoo has a lovely choice in this A-line Court Train wedding dress.

Floral appliques

3D Elements
Wedding dresses with floral appliques, beading in specific designs and other elements that stand out separately from the dress are very popular for Spring of 2016. Laser cutting is also heavily featured this year, mostly in floral designs. This example by Rita Vinieris, called Rivini, is available at well known retailer Brides.com. The options are endless for this trend, making it perhaps the most versatile of the season.

Plunging Necklines
Skip the sweetheart neckline for this hip and current wedding dress style. You can opt for an actual bellybutton skimming plunge or an illusion neckline. This example adds a touch of modesty with a lace inset and a translucent silhouette. You shouldn’t be missing checking incredible masterpiece collection by Pnina Tornai for Kleinfeld at theknot.com.

How to DIY Your Wedding Dress Fit

Here are some quick fire tips if you are determined to go it alone or just want an easy guide to making the right wedding dress fit choices.

Pear shaped ladies or those larger in the hip and thigh area can pick tight bodices and flared or sweeping skirts to highlight and camouflage the right places.

If you are ample upstairs with a large bust, a scoop or sweetheart neckline will show off and elongate your neck and looks elegant without showing too much cleavage.

For plus sized brides, the same rules apply as with other dresses. An empire waist will be the most flattering and nip you in at the waist, just where you want it. Fabrics with structure and a bit of weight to them will help your silhouette.

For hiding a lumpy midsection or apple shaped ladies, consider ruching or some of the 3D detail that is big for Spring 2016. These textural details will help distract from any problem areas.

Pick The Best Fit For Your Body
The first thing you should do when setting about your wedding dress quest is to forget size as a number. Wedding dresses are often sized differently and you can get a special kind of sticker shock when you see how much larger you are in these styles than your usual clothing.

Picking the perfect wedding dress

Your absolute best bet to find the perfect fit for your body when choosing your wedding dress is to consult a professional. If you are going to splurge anywhere, making sure your dress has the proper fit is the place to plop down dollars. Pay attention to the consultant you end up with. If they seem clueless or too generic, move on until you find someone to help you who seem to have experience in fitting gowns.

Go Big Or Go Home- Frugality vs. Extravagance
Your wedding is both a rite of passage and the start of a brand new life with someone you love. It can be hard to weigh options of wanting to have a big, expensive splash versus maintaining a nest egg to begin life together with.

Sometimes, with a bit of planning, you can have a great dress at a bargain price. Check out some outrageous online deals & discounts offered on our site for popular store like Lovely Wholesale.

If you have the cash handy, go big for your big day. If you are throwing a wedding on a budget, there are many money saving options for you to employ to reduce the bottom line. The most important thing is that you enjoy yourself and the process leading up to your special day.
