A few months before your wedding, have you just learned that another happy event is brewing? Or conversely, when the baby is announced, you decide to take the plunge with your partner? Do not panic: follow our advice to choose your wedding dress and get married serene.
What style for the wedding dress?
When you get married pregnant, you must have a simple style, without too many frills. The sobriety of the lines must be the key word. In the same vein, the makeup should be fresh, and the hairstyle natural. It is just necessary that the whole magnifies the beauty of the pregnant woman.
To avoid : too synthetic materials, especially if the pregnancy gives you some hot flashes!
What shape for the wedding dress?
Really popular, the “Empire” form is also ideal for mothers-to-be. It highlights the chest and lengthens the silhouette. The important thing is not to hide what is sublimated by motherhood, and in particular the neckline. In this idea, the “strapless” shape is very suitable, if you can adjust it of course according to the term. Likewise, dresses worked on the bias generally have a better fall than others. Another possibility: opt for a dress-jacket suit. A wedding dress short can also be a good option if you have pretty legs and want to play the glamor card.
To avoid : the sheath dresses which hug the stomach and buttocks, and do not make a very pretty profile. Or on the contrary, too loose wedding dresses that may make you look more plump than you really are.
What color for the wedding dress?
Ivory is the color par excellence of the wedding dress, the white being considered less becoming. Otherwise, powder pink, champagne, blushes in general… will be very pretty. In general, when it is a first wedding, the bride opts for an ivory color, if it is a second wedding, she turns to pastels.
To avoid : too flashy colors, colorful dresses… Bet on sobriety.
What accessories with the wedding dress?
Le Sheer has been back for some time, especially the long veil. The ideal for pregnant women is to wear it on the back rather than on the face, so as not to be too hot. For gloves, it depends on the dress. In any case, it is better to choose them transparent than in satin, for lightness. The head jewelry are also very trendy to give a bohemian or sophisticated side to your outfit.
To avoid : the total look (necklace, earrings, headband), at the risk of turning into a Christmas tree.
What shoes to wear?
benefits comfortable shoes above all, with a good seat and small heels. Fashionable wedge heels are very suitable.
To avoid : the stiletto heels, the sandals which hold the ankle only with a lace, and obviously the mules.
How does the wedding dress go?
Normally, it takes 2 or 3 fittings. For a woman pregnant, there will be more. As it is not easy to predict the evolution of the body, it is better to go about choosing your dress later. Basically, at D-4 months or D-5 months, it is good to select your dress and order it. On D-1 month, the first fitting takes place and on D-1 week, the last fitting. The bottom line is for the woman to tell the sales consultants that she is expecting a child, and if she doesn’t know by the time she orders her dress, she should let them know as soon as she knows.
To avoid : choose a wedding dress two sizes above its usual size, telling yourself that when the day comes, it will necessarily suit us.
