The wedding dress for pregnant women: an outfit for two

Without trying to hide your belly at all costs, avoid some forms of wedding dress unsuited to your current morphology: marked sizes, frills, ribbons and Sissi dresses flying. Prefer flowing shapes, tall sizes or "Empire" style dresses marked below the chest. Fry without molding with light materials: organdy, muslin, cotton. Invest in a good bra to your new size and wide straps to avoid the marks.

Color question, same instructions: simplicity. Even though flowers are trendy, beware of overly charged effects. Instead, play with accessories: a hat or a pair of gloves.

Side bridal shoes , do not go to perch on stilettos or heels, which accentuate the pains in the kidneys. Your center of gravity has shifted and your ligaments are more flexible during pregnancy. Also avoid mules that hold your foot. Lightweight shoes with a small heel but not too flat, so that the arch does not collapse, will be perfect.

A custom pregnant woman wedding dress?

The main difficulty is to anticipate the size and shape that your body will take during these few months. Purchased as late as possible, planning wide, you can offer a classic fluid dress (chiffon or organza for example).

The ideal, for a unique dress and perfectly adapted to your anatomy, is to offer the custom. Some couturiers offer a model "special pregnant women" whose final assembly is at the last moment. Others will realize all your dreams by adapting most of their models. It takes at least four fittings. Final adjustments take place one or two weeks before D-Day.

A beautiful future mother and ... a bride

For the big day, put your new assets in value: your cleavage, your arms and your legs if they remained thin. Under the action of hormones, your hair has never been so beautiful, enjoy it. Nothing also stops you from cheating a little with the hairstyle or bridal makeup . Degraded or crazier locks in a cascade bun lengthen the face. A matte and golden complexion will make you look thinner. Finally, stretch your blush to the temples rather than to the cheekbones, put the eyeshadow V and not a halo not to widen the eyes.

Last tip: sweating increases during pregnancy. Always have a fogger on hand, prefer natural materials such as cotton or linen and at the last minute and especially breathe: everything will be fine.
