These days, it's not so unusual to see a bride coming down the aisle with a a noticeable bump - and what of it? Times have changed. But since a pregnant body leads to its own set of aesthetic considerations, you'll find some tips for comfortable dressing below.
To camouflage your pregnancy a dress with an empire waist will be your best friend. It's forgiving to an expanding belly and shows off a newly lush bustline.
An A-line silhouette is also a good bet, though it tends to favor those in the first four to five months of pregnancy.
Stay away from extremely fitted styles, as your shape can change drastically in a few short weeks. You want your dress to be free flowing and comfortable
Fluid fabrics or those with some stretch to them are better bets than stiff, heavy materials which will make you uncomfortable..
Your likely to feel warmer than usual when pregnant, so it's best to avoid long sleeves, heavy satin, and anything else that can make you feel hot during the warmer months.
Whether or not you need a maternity gown will depend on how far along you are by the wedding date. Several designers offer maternity sizes and most bridesmaids' manufacturers make maternity styles. Hint: To save money order a bridesmaid dress in ivory and wear it as a wedding dress.
Wait as long as possible to buy the dress and push alterations to the last few weeks so the dress will fit on your wedding day.
