December 4, 2005 | All Wedding Articles, Wedding Dresses, Wedding Gowns
You’re getting married! And as a mother-to-be, you picked the perfect time to tie the knot. The selection of maternity wedding dresses today is truly mind-boggling.
How can you sort through all the different styles and find what’s right for you? How can the pregnant bride show her fertile figure at its best?
Five things you should know before shopping for that dream dress:
Find a Slim Silhouette
Yes, you’ve gained some weight. But tent-like maternity dresses will only make you look shapeless. And you don’t want that on your wedding day.
The two best silhouettes for the expecting bride? Sheathe-style wedding dresses and A-lines. Sheathes work best for the early stages of pregnancy. A-lines look good on everyone.
Pull the Eye Upward
Think embroidered bodices. Plunging or off the shoulder necklines. Sequins.
Keep it Simple
Just say no to shiny fabric, bows, or rosettes below the bustline. The key is to get the eye to flow right over your belly.
Longer lengths are dramatic and slimming.
Keep it Soft
Find a soft fabric that follows your curves without adding bulk. Think silk, organza, georgette. But make sure it isn’t shapeless.
Look in the maternity section for wedding dresses with Princess seams or darts.
Accentuate Your Waist
Yes you still have one. It just moved to the point directly below your breasts. This is the narrowest point on you - make it the most fitted part of your wedding dress.
Empire waists are particularly flattering.
You might have to shop for your wedding dress in the maternity section, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look gorgeous. This is your wedding we’re talking about. You have the right to look fabulous. Follow the guidelines above, and you’ll find the perfect dress to wear on your perfect day.

Cheap Wedding Gowns - The gown is cheap, not you.
If your wedding is on a tight budget then you need to take a look at cheap wedding gowns. Not everyone has the money to buy designer wedding gowns, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look stunning. Many cheap wedding gowns still have the look of elegance.
With the invention of the internet, finding cheap wedding gowns are so incredibly easy. You can sit right in front of your computer in your PJs and browse through hundreds of different gowns. And when I say cheap, I mean you can get very high quality cheap wedding gowns for under three hundred dollars.
Sure, it won’t be the quality of say Vera Wang wedding gowns, but for the price you just can’t go wrong. Saving money on your wedding gown also opens opportunities to spend more money in other places of your wedding such as the wedding rings or honeymoon. Because, really, how many times will you be wearing your wedding gown? Wouldn’t you much rather spend your hard earned money on something that will last longer than one day?
Like every other aspect of the wedding, you need to plan ahead 4-6 months when ordering your gown. You need to make sure that you get the gown in time and that everything fits properly. If there are mistakes, you want to leave yourself time to be able to get these fixed.
Cheap wedding gowns are available online. To find the store we recommend most, check out our page on wedding gowns.
