Painting Your Canvas

Choosing a dress can be difficult for any shaped bride because sometimes our bodies can get in the way.  Being comfortable with your body is key!  If you’ve got it, flaunt it! No body is better or worse, it’s all about your attitude and sense of style. 

I like to play a little game called, “Get to Know Your Body.”  To play the game all you have to do is compare your body to a household object.  If you feel you’re a watermelon, say it, if you think you’re more of a bottle of wine, you have to own it!  The first step to loving your body is to understand that each body is beautiful and important just like our everyday house products. 

Now that you have an idea of what shape you’ve got, dressing it will be a piece of cake.  When describing body shapes we usually use four categories such as the pear, hourglass, ruler or apple.  Now the idea is for you to match your body to one of those categories. 

If you find yourself in the middle of two categories or confused, just choose the best that you can.  Knowing the shape of your body will make finding that perfect dress a walk in the park. 

Instead of dreading the dress shopping, now you’ll be able to tell the dress consultants what your shape is and they will lead you in the right direction.  Finding a dress is like painting a blank canvas.  Some colors look better than others, it’s all about trial and error and I promise that you WILL find the dress of your dreams
