{I'm loving...The Little White Dress!}
Finding THE wedding dress of your dreams can be a little intimidating...there are just so many frothy and beautiful options to choose from. Right now I’m loving the “little white dress”, it’s light, fun, carefree and lets your personality shine right through. While many brides dream about “the one” (dress) for years, maybe even before they even meet “the one” (love), others have no idea what they like until they see it. So when shopping for your wedding dress, keep an open mind...who knows, you might fall in love with something totally different from what you had originally envisioned. And if it is one of these little lovely dresses, you will definitely shine on the big day!

Choosing Your Dream Dress!!
Choosing your dress is one of the most exciting parts of the wedding planning process. You have dreamed about your perfect dress and now it’s time to get to work in order to find this dream creation!! Below are some helpful tips to keep in mind when it comes time to choosing your gorgeous gown.
A wedding dress will feel wonderful on as long as you choose the right silhouette for your body-type. If you are tall and thin choose a mermaid style or a style that is fitted at the top and flares out at the bottom to accentuate your long, lean shape.
If you’re petite, go for a simple and elongating gown, keep any intricate details on the top and keep the bottom simple. A beatiful satin sash (in white or a soft pastel colour) will accentuate your waistline.
Full-figured women should opt for a gown that is structured through the midsection and flares out at the bottom giving you an elongating and slimming silhouette.
Pear-shaped figures will benefit from choosing a fitted top with an a-line skirt that flares out from the midsection and accentuates your waistline.
If you’re having a destination wedding, have fun with your dress!! Choose light fabrics that travel well and think outside the box…how about instead of choosing a typical wedding gown you opt for a gorgeous short, cocktail dress in a beautiful and sparkling champagne colour!
Before heading out to shop for your perfect dress, have a clear picture of what you’re looking for. Browse through magazines, online, etc. to determine which styles really appeal to you, and bring inspiration photos with you when you go out shopping, this will also make it easier for the sales clerk to help you find what it is you’re looking for.
The most important thing to remember is that in order to shine in your dress you MUST feel comfortable in it!! Be sure to choose a dress that flatters YOUR body type and complements YOUR personality…and the result will be a dream come true!
