The wedding dress is one of the most important aspects of a brides wedding day so while wedding traditions dominate and some bridal styles never date, you'll want your gown to look modern, stylish and probably follow some of the latest trends. Follow these tips to style your perfect wedding dress.

  1. Find the perfect shape – This is very important as finding the right shape will help you to feel comfortable on your big day and if it doesn’t fit your theme completely then you can always personalise it with embellishments.
  2. Remember less is more – Don’t go over the top with statement accessories, just focus on a few clever details in the right shape, size and colour.
  3. Strike a balance – You can concentrate on what each outfit will look like individually but remember to see how all the outfits look together including shape, colour and size as this will look great in photos.
  4. Body worries - If there’s an area of your body that you don’t want to draw attention to then don’t put detail on it or have a standout hair accessory or a bold bouquet so no one is look at your body worry.
Hopefully these tips will help you to style your wedding dress and make you feel body confident on your big day!
