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.
