REVEL Picks: Flattering Wedding Gowns

Posted by Saukok Apr 19, 2012 at 8:00 am

Everyone wants to feel like a princess on their wedding day. But what's more important than a fabulous ball gown or bejeweled bodice is making sure you look your BEST. Everyone's body is different, so not all top trends are flattering. Today we're bringing your our picks of flattering wedding gowns!

From a cinched waist to flattering sleeves or a rouched bodice or full skirt, elements of these wedding styles will make sure you look YOUR best on your big day! Are you petite? Steer clear of full ball gowns as they'll only make you look shorter. Instead, try a simple A line gown. For pear shapes, an Empire waist will help hide your hips while showing off your other curves. Vertical detailing like beading or ruffles will always help elongate your shape and a belt or sash at the waist will help draw attention to the smallest part of your body. So what do you think ladies? Which is your favorite?
