Glamorous Wedding Gowns For Every Figure

One of the best parts about being a bride is the chance to wear a truly fabulous dress. It is your time to shine, so go ahead and choose a bridal gown that is glamorous and that makes you feel like a movie star. This is how to find a glamorous wedding gown for any type of figure.

If you have a fairly average shape and size, you will have a huge number of wonderful wedding gowns from which to choose. In fact, you may have so many choices that it can be overwhelming. The trick is to narrow it down to a general style that appeals to you, and then to focus on finding a gown that fits the bill. For instance, if all out glamor is your goal, you do not need to waste your time trying on dresses that are too demure or understated, no matter how pretty they may be.

Glamor in a wedding gown is created by a few main features: the cut, the fabric, the embellishments, and of course, a touch of drama. Glamorous gowns will tend to be body conscious, or more slender in the silhouette, although this does not mean that only skinny-Minnie types of brides can pull off a dramatic gown. In fact, some of the most shape-hugging styles look their best on a figure with plenty of curves to love.

The one shoulder look is currently very much in style, and is the epitome of Hollywood glamor and style. Most of these gowns are created in narrow shapes. The Grecian goddess column in chiffon with a little ruching or gathering in the bodice is one of the most popular form of one shouldered wedding dresses. Drama comes in the form of oversized fabric flowers flowing over the shoulder or a jeweled silver shoulder strap. This is a cut that works very well on slender brides, whether tall or petite.

Shimmer is always glamorous, and gorgeous silk satin or charmeuse is a fantastic choice for a bride who wants that "wow" factor. Curvy brides will look stunning in strapless gowns with fitted ruched bodices that have an exaggerated low bodice. The gowns will be fitted down to the low hip or sometimes almost to the knee, and then explode into a dramatic mermaid full skirt. It is a fabulous classic shape that dates back to the old glamor days of Hollywood. It is also very flattering on a bride of any size with great curves, as long as she is comfortable really flaunting them. Add a big pair of sparkling Swarovski crystal bridal earrings, and you will be the picture of bridal glam!

For girls with nothing to hide, a body-hugging bias cut gown can be perfect. These dresses are cut close to the body, and the fabric drapes becomingly across the figure. Just don't choose this style if you want a forgiving dress! Some of the best examples of bias cut dresses can be found in collections of vintage bridal gowns, especially those from the 1930s, when pure glamor was the height of style.

Once you have found the perfect gown, you can pour on the glamor with the perfect finishing touches. Smooth hair is better than some of the more tousled looks so commonly seen lately. Makeup should be flawless, with either strong red lips or a sultry smoky eye. Finally, don't forget about your bridal jewelry; the sparkle of Swarovski crystal earrings and necklaces will give you a fabulously glamorous look for your wedding day.

Wedding Dress Styles in 2010

If you ladies are planning to get married in 2010, then you no doubt want to dive right into finding the hottest styles of the year. For about the last ten years, strapless dresses have dominated wedding dress styles over any type of sleeve. Both styles look to be equally as common in 2010, starting new trends in length, tightness, and designs.

Making the most waves in the latest wedding gown designs, would have to be Ivanka Trump's beautiful Vera Wang gown. The two ladies worked to create what Ivanka wanted - "something new." The hand-made lacy gown was inspired Princess Grace Kelly's 1956 gown when she tied the knot with Prince Rainer II of Monaco. The lines of the gown are somewhat illusionary, as the arm length ends beautifully right above the elbow. The dress is sure to inspire sleeves to come hurtling back into popular wedding dress styles. The patterns of sheer fabric look beautiful against the skin, not covering completely and adding visual interest to the gown.

Several styles from the forties and fifties are emerging as old looks with modern twists. These vintage throwbacks include ball gown, mermaid, and the classic 1950's housewife dress, turned into a wedding gown. The ball gown style is all elegance, and works very well to elongate the waist. Fitting tight around the torso, it begins to flare out at the hips, and keeps going, reaching to the floor. The tightness of the upper part of the dress works to give cleavage, and shape your whole body into a nice hourglass figure. Somewhat similar to the ball gown style, is the mermaid style, made popular by Audrey Hepburn. This style is a knockout figure-flatterer as it shapes the bust, waist, and hips before flaring out. Generally, the flare of the mermaid dress starts about midway down the thigh. Cinch that waist with a 1950's influenced gown. These gowns often appear somewhat conservative, and at times bulky. Most of them have a sash or belt around the waist, and begin to flare immediately below the waist. For anyone wishing to hide their hips, this dress will work nicely.

Are you getting married in the great outdoors, in the warm months of spring or summer and wish to choose a dress that will aid in your comfort. Also considered vintage, the tea-length dress comes just below the knee. These gowns are quite stylish, and look great strapless, spaghetti strapped, or half-sleeved. Plunging necklines send the eye down, and work well with simple necklaces. Occasionally, this style is worn with a tied-ribbon sash under the bust, which is very cute for a young bride.

Look like a goddess in a Grecian-style wedding gown. The Grecian look can be achieved by a long, silhouette of a dress, with a slight flowing feel or by using many layers that overlap one another. To catch the eye, choose certain areas of the dress to add detail. Opting for a halter or off the shoulder neckline can be beautiful ways to accent the Grecian look. Pleated v-necks offer a flattering appearance for the full-figured woman. Since this style is often open and airy, it is ideal for summer weddings.

Is this 2009's tackiest wedding?!

I am still speechless at this wedding that was sent to me via a Greek friend, could this be the tackiest wedding for 2009. I quickly have to add we have nothing to do with this, but just had to post it :)! I don't think Martha Stewart would have approved! I would love to receive any other horrendously tacky weddings if anyone out there has some, we could start a competition! Enjoy the photos!






Love Bug Engagement Shoot

We are loving these adorable engagement pictures from our bride and groom Jessica Schroeder and Jesse Walker. We're kind of obsessed with their "love" t-shirts and awesome aqua VW Love bug. The pictures turned out great and are so playful! They're perfectly fitting for these love bugs and we are so excited for their wedding next April!



They even coordinated their shoes...how freaking cute?!






This is such a great picture of them! I love how they look so sleek and have the contrasting rustic wall in the background.











Some really great shots of this sweet couple. Thanks to Nicole Christensen of Nicole Carman Photography for letting us share these fun pics with you all.
