nderstated or over-the-top, fairytale princess or drama queen, your look on your day should complement your personality and make you feel like the star of the show – which, of course, is exactly what you are.


If the choice of bridal gowns looks overwhelming, don’t panic: just get out there and start looking. Don’t forget it can take four to sixmonths after ordering for your dress to arrive, so begin your search around 12 and at least nine months before the big day. Experiment with different styles to find the overall shape and neckline which suits you and flatters your figure – which should help narrow down what can be a bewildering array of choices. And remember to choose a dresswhichwill suit your venue – long trains need long aisles and sun-kissed beaches just cry out for floaty chiffon. Making a real comeback this year are short bridal gowns. They’re frivolous, fun, sassy and sexy – and perfect for the confident, outgoing bride. Think twice, however, about making a real fashion statement. You don’t want to be hiding those wedding pictures in years to come. Growing in popularity this season are tiny bolero jackets and matching coats, which provide a decorous covering for the ceremony and can be shrugged off during the reception to reveal that glamorous strapless gown. Don’tbe intimidatedby theglitzy bridal shop atmosphere, staff are always welcoming and friendly and can offer invaluable help on styles to suit you and accessories to individualise your look. Your wedding gown is probably the most important dress you will ever choose, so enjoy everymoment of the search.
