Actually, the best way to show out the special glamour of the bride is to figure out their somatotype and find an appropriate wedding dress that could match with them.  Therefore,  we categorize  female figure into the following types. Pear shaped bride, apple shaped bride, hourglass shaped bride.

The upper body of the bride is usually slim, they can have a fitted bodice to show out their advantage of their slender arms and back.  However, due to the apparent heavy bottom of pear shaped brides, they need to get a skirt flare out through their waist, which could make up for their defects, create out a balanced figure proportion. Suggested wedding dress silhouette are, A-line with off-the-shoulder neckline or basque waistline in ball gown silhouette.

The main feature of the apple shaped bride is that they have a full upper body,  the fat are generally distributed in the areas like brests, arms, back and waist. In this case, they have to choose a dress with empire waistline in order to de-emphasize the their over full breasts. Besides, the flabby arms are often a great trouble to them, hence, they could get dresses with sleeves that is lace and embroidery decorated. As to the fat that accumulated in the belly, they need a slinky body to wrap their waist so that their fat won’t be that apparent. Suggested silhouette like empire gown is desirable. Avoid princess type of gown which can easily expose all your defects. The fluffy skirt can make both the upper body and the bottom in the same size, making the bride look especially stout.

As far as the hourglass shaped body, it is regared as the perfect figure of  female. Fat are evenly distributed through the body. Get an A-line silhouette with halter neckline or sweetheart neckline can flatter their somatotype. Whereas, the ball gown and empire dress will hide their advantages which are not suggested to wear.

Emerald Green
It’s award season and we’ve been treated to the site of lots of gorgeous celebrities strutting down the red carpet in their evening dresses. The red carpet has shown that one of the clear trends of the season is deep emerald green. Angelina Jolie wore a stunning long sleeved green dress by Versace to the Golden Globes, which positively shimmered thanks to all its sequins. Mad Men favourite Elizabeth Moss wore a beautiful emerald green dress by Donna Karen, whilst my new girl crush Mila Kunis wore an emerald green Vera Wang dress. Kunis scored extra style points because her dress was right on the asymmetric trend and had a slight Grecian vibe thanks to its swathes of gathered and folded material.

Another on trend colour for evening gowns is intense blue shades. Jason Wu showcased a stunning blue evening dress on the catwalk, although its see-through top may be a bit risqué for some. There are lots of different style options for a deep blue evening dress so go for one in a cut that you know will flatter your figure. If you have a good bosom then you could opt for a plunging neckline like on Dian von Furstenberg’s blue evening dress design. If you have an hourglass shape then you might want to go for a more figure hugging option, perhaps with an on trend fishtail skirt. If you hate to dress up then you could opt for a more casual blue evening dress like the one designed by Matthew Williamson as its loose flowing fabric stops it from looking too formal.
