\"Ballgown\"<\/p>\n

Last weekend in New York the industry\u2019s top bridal designers showed their Spring\/Summer 2014 collections at Bridal Market.\u00a0 They say that gone is Organza and Chantilly Lace and that a new wave of fabrics will be exploding the scene like hand-painted lace and golf-flecked detailing.\u00a0 And then there is the new color trend – a stylish very light \u201crose\u201d color gown.\u00a0 Plus the veil will play a much larger role in completing the look \u2013 with lots of Cathedral length veils flowing down the aisles.<\/p>\n

So\u2026.just what does that have to do with the average bride selecting a dress.\u00a0 Not much.<\/p>\n

No matter what the trend, the dress decision is really what looks fabulous on you and what is a reflection of your own personal style.\u00a0 Envision your wedding and picture yourself on your wedding day. \u00a0\u00a0Keep in mind your body and think about a silhouette that flatters.\u00a0 Ballgowns have very full skirts and look beautiful on any body type, unless you are very short and small.\u00a0 A-lines flare from the waist and are a terrific choice for someone who would like to hide lower body flaws.\u00a0 Sheaths are best for women with slim, balanced figures, and empire waist gowns are excellent choices for pregnant brides because they provide extra room in the waist.<\/p>\n
