Tip 1: Your Maternity Wedding Dress Style

So ... here's the BIG question ... "How far along will you be on your wedding day?"

Still in the early months of your pregnancy on your wedding day? You may not need my maternity wedding dress tips or a specialist maternity wedding dress! You might get away with a slightly larger size in the style you love.

You can't predict how fast your bump will grow or how you will carry your baby.

You'll probably find ball gowns or dresses with a tight bodice are'nt very comfortable or flattering ... they'll emphasize your expanding middle! Best to steer clear!

Empire line gowns and A-line dresses look fabulous on most pregnant women thanks to their loose structure which creates a beautiful silhouette.

I've found lots of these gowns for you to choose from ... in a whole range of beautiful fabrics. My complete style gallery is nearly ready for you to view ... but you can take a sneak peek at some silk, chiffon and lace wedding dress ideas now! You can also browse by colour.

"Proper" maternity wedding dresses aren't second best ... they are beautiful! Designers understand the modern pregnant bride's desire to look fabulous and there are some amazing maternity bridal gowns to choose from ... whatever your budget.

Tip 2: Where will you hold your maternity wedding ceremony?

Brides usually choose a long formal gown for a religious ceremony although long gowns are equally suited for civil celebrations too.

Tip 3: Enhance your fabulous growing, changing body!

Traditional brides look for a dress to enhance their natural assets and as a pregnant bride, that's just what you should do too.

Physical considerations before choosing your pregnancy wedding dress

• What shoes will you be comfortable in? How will your chosen dress look with the wedding shoes you plan to wear?
• Do you have a great cleavage ... why not show it off?
• Would you like a strappy or strapless gown? Think about the width of your maternity bra straps ...will you cope with a strapless bra for the day or do you want more support?
• Do you want to hide your baby bump?
• Are your arms toned and beautiful or would you like to hide them away? You might be happier with a dress with sleeves if you've gained weight on your arms in your pregnancy. Or you might want a wrap or bolero jacket.

Tip 4: Fabulous Fabrics!

You should think as carefully about the fabric of your maternity wedding dress as the style of the dress itself, especially when thinking about the season of your wedding.

The same dress in different fabrics will look and feel quite different. It will certainly drape quite differently around your body.
