Maternity wedding dress : designs for the big day

Gliding up the aisle in a magnificent dress on your wedding day may be a long-held dream of yours and there's no need to change it just because you're pregnant. Maternity wedding dresses can make you look just as stylish and elegant as any other bride and they don't have to cost the earth.

There's no need and no point in hiding your pregnancy on your wedding day so forget any ideas of plus size maternity dresses with strategically placed bows, frills or ruffles to conceal your bump. You'll look lifeless and hick and those wedding photos are going to be around for years to come to remind you of your fashion nightmare.

Choosing a maternity wedding dress style to suit you

Choosing the right style of maternity wedding dress will make all the difference to your big day. You'll look stunning and will be able to pore over the photos in 20 years time without cringing. The best bet is to go with timeless, elegant designs and not the latest fashion fad. If strapless tops or halter necks have never looked good on you don't go for one now; and if pure white doesn't suit you or drains the colour from your face opt for a tinted dress instead.

Long, slim-fitting designs are a great choice for a pregnant bride as they elongate the body and make you look both taller and slimmer. Always aim for a design that is both flattering and comfortable; you're going to be in your dress all day and if you can't hug your parents without splitting the seams, can't sit for the meal because the waistband is too tight, or have to miss out on the dancing because you just can't move, it's not worth it.

You'll often be surprised by what does suit you though so go to the largest bridal store in your area and try on as many dresses as possible as early in your pregnancy as possible, to get an idea for what cuts and styles suit you. Bring a trusted friend with you as you'll need an honest opinion to help you make a decision.

Take a photo of dresses you like with your cell phone or a Polaroid camera and start an idea's file of these images as well as pictures from bridal magazines, wedding show brochures and boutique promotions. Once you've found a style you like you can search other shops, wedding shows and the Internet for similar maternity wedding gowns and choose fabrics and accessories that suit you. Our page on discount maternity clothes has some great tips on finding maternity wear at affordable prices.

If you can afford it, custom tailored maternity wedding dresses are the best bet, they'll fit you perfectly whether you're in your third or your ninth month and they don't have to cost the earth. Although you could get a maternity wedding dress off the rail for about $300, a maternity gown from an Internet wholesaler or discount retailer may only cost about $500 and can easily be adjusted by your local dress maker. Alternatively you could opt for a plus size wedding dress and have it adjusted to fit. Tailor-made designer dresses can range from about $500 to several thousand dollars.
