WHAT your wedding dress says about you

WHEN ordering the dress, brides should keep in mind what to wear underneath the dress as well. Discuss this with the dress seller at the time of trying on dresses to get the most comfort.

When wedding dresses should be purchased?

The maximum is eight months and the minimum is four months before the big day. We do say no more than eight months as a person’s weight fluctuates over time and no sense in taking any extra risk.

Ball gown

From the outside, you might seem traditional — conservative even — but really, you are romantic.

Jumpsuit

Your warm, laid-back nature draws people in and makes them feel instantly and deeply connected to you, which is great on a day-to-day basis because people are usually really nice to you and bend over backward to help you out, but it is also made the whole bridesmaid or maid of honour thing a complete nightmare.

Naked dress

You are a performer. Your fleshtastic dress is not about showing off. It is about wearing something as dramatic as you are. As far as you are concerned, your wedding is the Super Bowl Halftime Show and you are Rihanna, and there is no way Rihanna is going to play it safe for the biggest performance of her career.

Not happening. You will wear pasties, but only begrudgingly.

Hippie gown

You are a little crunchy, but it is cool; you are not obnoxious about it. You know what is important, and you do not sweat the small stuff. That said, if the florist does not come through on those wildflowers for your hair, you are seriously going to burn this rustic country barn to the ground!

Skirt suit

Girl, you have got things to do! You do not have time for some long, drawn-out wedding whatever. You are getting married at City Hall because you figure you have to go down there to get your marriage license anyway, and you might as well get it all done in one fell swoop. What is that? You cannot do it all at once? You have to leave and then come back? Is there a way to do this online?

All about the back

You love being the centre of attention. Even when your back is turned, you want to make sure all eyes are on you.

You briefly considered not having any bridesmaids at your wedding but decided that forcing all your friends to wear the same dress would make you and your dress stand out even more by comparison.

Cocktail

You are just fun as hell! As far as you’re concerned, a wedding is a big party being thrown in your honour and you will be damned if you are going to let some overly long skirt and a bunch of stuffy wedding conventions get in the way of having a good time and dancing your face off.

You are totally going to make your grandmother do a shot with you.

Plunging neckline

You are kind of a sadist. Not in a kinky way, necessarily. First and foremost, you wear what makes you feel good, but you also know that all that cleavage is going to shock and befuddle at least a few of your guests, and, honestly, the idea of watching your future mother-in-law’s brain short-circuit the first time she sees you in your dress gives you kind of a rush. Admit it, you have got goose bumps even now.

Finally, a dress should be comfortable. If a bride is not going to change out of a wedding dress, a bride will be in the dress for the ceremony – 30 minutes, pictures – 30 to 60 minutes, and reception – three to four hours.
