The dress

There is a lot to think about when planning a wedding. Dresses. Venues. Wedding styles. So ideas, tips and trends are always welcome!

One of the biggest decisions a bride has to make is what wedding dress to go for, as this is bound to have an impact on the style of the rest of the wedding - after all, the bride has to shine! You need to consider style, cut, fabric and colour, and what you choose depends on a series of factors.

1. Your body shape - are you slender, curvaceaous or athletic? Pear shaped or hourglass? It is important to find a dress to suit you and that you will feel comfortable in.

2. Your wedding location- how formal or traditional your chosen venue is will affect the style you go for, as will the likely temperature on the day. Again, it is important to feel comfortable so you can enjoy your day to the full.

3. Your wedding dream- it is important not to forget one important thing: your vision of yourself on the day. If you have always imagined yourself in a full ballgown but column dresses happen to be in fashion, then go for the ballgown anyway! You'll be far happier fulfilling your dream and getting what you always wanted.
