Summer Wedding Dresses Designed for Your Shape

Author: Lisa Jeeves

When you're planning summer nuptials and need to find the perfect dress for your day, the top wedding dress designers London are a invaluable source of information on the "ins and outs" of what looks good on various body types.

Experienced wedding dress designers in London know it's important to take the time to discuss the type of dress style the bride has in mind, as opposed to what will look best on them in reality! When it comes to summer styles you'll have the opportunity to really take advantage of the season in a dress created to show off your best attributes.

Strapless

One of the best aspects of a summer event, as any wedding dress designers in London will agree, is the chance to wear beautiful strapless styles. For those with a pear shaped body, strapless dresses are ideal; those either entirely strapless or ones with V-neck or scoop necks really accentuate the right proportions. Off the shoulder styles are also an excellent alternative. If you have more of a square shaped body, take advantage of the higher cut, strapless gowns that really draw attention to your proportions - these also work very well with corseted waistlines and longer dresses. If you are one of the lucky ladies who have an enviable hourglass shape, go strapless all the way to accentuate the angles and curves of your shape.

Dresses with straps

Higher necklines are not the most flattering on every shape, but top wedding dress designers in London will be able to advise whether or not you can pull off a dress with straps and a high neckline. Those who have smaller shoulders often look best in styles with fuller straps or a higher fitted necklines, and have more leeway when playing with fitted and mermaid style gowns. One of the most interesting looks for high-necked wedding gowns is the Victorian style, which frames the neck and face and really adds a hint of old-world glamour.

Dress length

Summer gives a lot more scope for the shorter length gowns. Tea length is now more popular than ever and, if you're planning a summer event, it is well worth considering. Tea length is usually best for those who want to show off their legs and also for those who are a little shorter in stature. If you are looking at shorter dresses, you should also consider your wedding locale. For instance, getting married in an ancient church is less the place for a shorter dress than a more casual-style ceremony on a beach. It’s all about balance.
