Styling your beautiful bump...

So you are pregnant and tying the knot, what an incredibly exciting time for you! Beginning life together as newlyweds as well as growing your family is surely something to celebrate so finding the perfect wedding dress to start this amazing moment in your lives is important!  We're not going to lie, it can be pretty hard to find maternity bridal wear but don't worry it does exist and we've done the hard work to hunt down the best places to find maternity wedding dresses for you and your bump. Not many bridal shops carry maternity, so online really can be the the best place to find the perfect dress. Good thing is that you usually only wear your wedding dress once whether it's maternity or non maternity, so the usual rules of not spending a lot on maternity clothes don't apply in this instance!

Tips and Hints for Finding the Perfect Maternity Wedding Dress

  • Not many bridal shops carry maternity so don't be disheartened when visiting boutiques. Do your research before you go and give them a call to see if they carry a maternity line or if they can cater for your needs.
  • Make sure to choose dresses without boning or corsets to make sure it is comfy for bringing you from the aisle to your first dance.
  • A dressmaker can add a lace up back if there are any issues with your growing bump!
  • Pick fabrics that are soft and stretchy instead of stiff.  Think chiffon, silk tulle or charmeuse.
  • Consider choosing an A-line or empire style dress which can both fit and flatter your quickly changing silhouette.
  • Think outside the box, ASOS do a fab maternity range and often have long bridal-worthy gowns within the collection. Smaller bumps will get away with a non maternity empire line wedding dress too.
  • Embrace it! As with every wedding this is an exciting start as you begin your new lives together, just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you have to settle for something unflattering. Work with your beautiful baby bump instead of try to cover it up!
