How do I select the wedding dress for my figure and the bouquet for my dress?

Everyday brides are clueless and don't have any idea of which style of a bouquet will complement the style of their wedding dress or which style of wedding dress will complement the shape of their body. Lets separate the style of dress and complete it with a bouquet to complement it. Below will give you a start. I also, listed some websites at the end of this blog with loads of detailed information.


Wedding Dress Styles

There are five popular wedding dress styles. However, choosing the right one will accentuate your best assets and hide any areas you're more conscious of, no matter your shape or size.


 A-Line/Princess

This style is classic and simple. The A-line dress is fitted around the bodice and flows out to the ground. Its length can range from above the knee to full length that flows into a large train, and consists of silks and satin. The princess cut version of the A-line dress is more dramatic and emphasizes this style’s clean lines by utilizing vertical panels.

Flatters
The A-line dress is a good general option for almost any brides body. The full skirt of the A-line can create the illusion of curves on a narrow frame. This dress is great for slimming, the princess style elongates.

Empire Style
The empire dress is unique for its raised waistline that sits just below the bust, from which the rest of the dress flows down. Empire dresses can have varying sleeve lengths ranging from longer bell sleeves to sleeveless, along with different skirt cuts that can flow freely or contour to your body. Additionally, empire dresses are usually made from lighter fabrics, so this style of dress takes on a romantic feel.

Body it Flatters
An empire dress works well on most body types but is specifically flattering for a bride looking to enhance her bust. On the flip side, ladies with large busts also like empire dresses because the traditional square can better cover larger breasts. This dress is also ideal for pear-shaped figures, as it is forgiving of the legs and hips. Because of the room in the stomach area, this is also an ideal dress for pregnant brides.

Bouquet Style-Tussy Mussy
A small round bouquet usually designed in a Tussy Mussy, bouquet holder or hand-tied. 



Pictures found at the following link.

Column/Sheath
The column dress has a narrow shape that flows straight down from the top to the bottom. This dress, also referred to as a sheath, tends to hug the body and show any and all of your curves. A column dress can be a simple slip dress to a more contoured dress made of heavier fabrics such as damask.
Body It Flatters

Although a column dress style is timeless, it's typically not as forgiving as other styles and is best suited for lean brides. Petite brides can look taller and longer in a column dress, but there's not much room for hiding problem areas. However, column dresses are very tight and may restrict movement on the dance floor!

Bouquet Style-Hand-Tied



Ball Gown

The fairy tale. With a fitted bodice and full skirt that can either be one piece or separate, this dress is perfect for big, traditional weddings. You can even pair a ball gown with long gloves and a dramatic train for even more of a “wow” factor. Everything from satin to chiffon is used on top, along with layers of taffeta or tulle on the bottom to create a floating effect.
 Flatters 
While many brides will look beautiful in a ball gown, the cut is ideal for slender or pear-shaped figures as the full skirt helps to accentuate the waist and hide the lower body. Additionally, this style helps create the hourglass look because it emphasizes the waistline. If you're shorter, beware that a skirt of this size can overpower a small frame.

Bouquet Style- Cascade


Mermaid
This cut is a very sexy look that highlights a woman’s curves. Its silhouette contours to the body from the chest to the knee, and then flares out to the hem. This dress style comes in various versions from strapless, to halter, or trumpet flare and even flamenco.
Flatters
Because of its body-hugging cut, the mermaid is best worn by brides who are confident. It is flattering on slender, short and tall figures, however, brides who wants to accentuate their curves, this is the best way to go. Total fab...
