Read this from here. I was actually searching for other stuff but stumbled upon this one. Although my wedding is two months away and this article is irrelevant anymore in my case, I hope this helps for those upcoming brides.

"...After you and your fiancé have set a wedding date, one of the first things you'll want to shop for is your wedding dress. Decide on the type of wedding you want: will it be formal or informal? Then establish a budget. Include everything from your headpiece to accessories.

Dress.

Find one that flatters your figure and does not accentuate problem areas.

Short and slender: A high-rise waistline, high neckline, perhaps sleeveless with long gloves, chapel-length train, and a floor-length veil are all super-feminine and will make you look taller.

Petite with curves: Blouson bodice over fitted slip, a long, narrow sleeve. Avoid billowy looks. Select a natural, boat neck, or high neckline. Gathered or slightly dirndl waist with soft ribbon accents add length; avoid flounced skirts. Try a delicate floral wreath.

Tall and thin: Dropped waist looks terrific, because it takes away that long, leggy look. Bare off-the-shoulder styles are sexy and feminine. If you like, wear ruffles or billowy sleeves. Veils and hats are striking additions.

Plus size: Choose simple lines and avoid too much lace and beading. Look for vertical lines such as the princess cut, soft bodice, natural or high necklines. Avoid very puffed sleeves but try the dolman. Again, choose a simple headpiece such as a floral wreath or chapel veil..."

* Speaking of wedding dresses, April's coming and I am excited (and nervous at the same time) for my first fittings. Just to leak a little info about the dresses - they're ivory white for akad, soft gray and pastel pink for home reception, champagne gold and maroon for hall reception, and maroon and silver for bertandang :)

** Oh by the way, the Wedding Gathering Bazaar was great! Sha and I had a great time meeting the bloggers/bride to bes and we managed to find stuff we need for our wedding albeit a little. Wait till I ramble about the bazaar and rave about my latest shoe collection. I can't stop thinking about how exquisite I feel when I wear it. Hahaha poy habis kan? Orang kata...rezeki. Alhamdullilah :)
