Here are 6 Quick Tips to help you choose the perfect “plus size wedding dress”. So let’s get to them!

1) Choose a style that lengthens your image. For example, if you have a short neck, do not select a gown with a high neck or a dress that has a lot of poofy paraphernalia at the neck. If you go against this – you will notice that in your photos your neck will appear shorter … like your head is perched on your shoulders. (Sorry if I’m direct, but this is something you need to know … especially when you’re wanting your wedding photos to be picture perfect)

2) Have you done this before? Chosen a fabric that you hate … just to please someone else? Don’t! Wear a fabric that feels fantastic to you and makes you feel wonderfully special!

3) I know I made this mistake with a dress once … (hope I’m not alone). I chose a satin that looked wonderful … but after a about 20 minutes in the sun I felt like I was in the sauna. So what’s the tip? Satin is fine … for winter weddings, for indoor celebrations where it’s kept on the cool side with air conditioning.

4) Boat neck styles … are flattering on only a few women I know of. But my perception may be different from your own. Boat neck style dresses tend to widen your appearance at the shoulders … which is OK, if you’re trying to compensate for being overly wider at the beam.

5) OK, how many of us have heavy legs? Some of us have great legs and it’s wonderful when you can show them off. But if you don’t fall into the category of legs that are super sexy, you can draw attention away from them in 2 ways and emphasize your best features instead. What are those two ways:
a) wear a long flowing gown that will emphasize your height, or your bosom, your long neck, …
b) select a wedding dress (long or short) that has a provocative rise, gather or slit in the skirt that gives you just
the barest hint of skin and leg.

And last, but definitely not least is Tip #6.

6) Be vibrantly alive! Choose a color that not only fits the occasion and theme of your wedding, but choose a color that makes you not only makes you feel fabulous … but it looks fantastic on you too!
