Choosing the "Right" Dress

Choosing your wedding dress can be just as stressful, if not more, than planning the entire event.  How do you decide which dress suits your body type?  Like very woman, we all have parts of our body we just simply want to hide and other parts we want to accentuate.  It’s important to choose a wedding dress that accentuates and flatters your best features.  Which shape are you?

Are you PEAR SHAPED, HOUR GLASS, SLENDER, ATHLETIC, etc.??

My shape is between the Hour Glass and Rectangle.

Once you’ve determined what shape you are, then comes the fun part – Pairing your shape with the right dress.

There are so many dresses to choose from and many styles.  Choose a budget, and then go with family and friends and even your wedding planner.  As a wedding planner, we will know which style will suit your body type and what will truly look fabulous on you.

Ultimately YOU need to feel beautiful in your dress and truly; so whether is a short wedding dress or a full wedding dress, choose a dress YOU feel comfortable in and feel BEAUTIFUL in.
