How To Chose a Wedding Dress.

By Annabel Meggeson

Wedding aren't all about being trussed up in corsets or wearing something that you feel slightly strange and self-conscious in. Read on for our top tips on finding the right dress for you, so you can feel comfortable, relaxed and beautiful on your big day.

1. Don't Try on Too Many

You will always have to try on a few duff dresses before finding one that fits, although trying on too many isn't a good idea either. Maria Yiannikaris, of wedding boutique Mirror Mirror(opens in a new window) advises, "Look for too long and at too many, and your 'perfect dress' moment may well pass. Three or four visits to different bridal boutiques should be enough to find one that makes you look and feel great. Women who make seven or eight appointments can confuse themselves."

2. Consider the Location

You can rule out a lot of dresses immediately by thinking of the venue. "An elaborate, meringue-type affair isn't going to look right if you're getting married on a beach," says Yiannikaris. "Likewise, a short, 60s-style dress will seem under-dramatic for a 50-foot cathedral aisle."

3. Skin Tone

A wedding dress needs to work with your skin tone. "As a rule, the paler your complexion, the warmer you should go colour-wise," says stylist Emer Dewar. "English roses will suit champagnes, creams and golds, while very dark skin can take pure white."

• Do: avoid the "help, I looked washed out in my white dress, I'd better get a fake tan" scenario - orange and white is better for lifeboats than brides
• Don't: ignore more off-beat tones, like pale mocha, grey, silvery blue, pale pink and faded peach. All can be incredibly subtle and flattering, and are worth trying on

4. Body Shape

"If you have a favourite evening dress that earns you compliments every time you wear it, chances are it's a shape that works well for you and therefore something to bear in mind when you're looking," Emer says. "But do keep an open mind and be prepared to try on lots of different styles, too. The super-styled, 2D images you see on the pages of a magazine or online are often a far cry from the actual reality. And that applies to the dresses you don't like, as well as the ones you do."
