How to Choose Maternity Wedding Dresses

In the past, visibly pregnant women walking down the aisle were subject to scorn of others. You were either married in quick civil ceremonies or walked down the aisle when you were barely showing in the middle. Either way, you were often not allowed to choose your wedding dress, a privilege and a joy for most brides.
Fortunately, modern norms have made it possible to walk down the aisle as gloriously pregnant as you can be! Your pregnancy may even be a source of inspiration for other couples. So don't choose that ugly, matronly, silly smock if you don't want to, especially not with specially-designed maternity wedding dresses to choose from.

When to Choose 

Well, now is the best time! Even when your belly is constantly growing, you must never wait until the last minute to choose your wedding dress because you might just end up with the wrong one.
For example, you are three months along and your wedding day is on your sixth month. Well, you should buy a perfect wedding dress now although you have to wait until at least 2 weeks before the wedding day to have your actual fitting. In this case, the perfect dress will fit you perfectly!

Where to Choose 

You have a lot of options when it comes to your maternity wedding dress. Firstly, you can look through online stores. You are sure to find an online store that sells a wide variety of maternity wedding dresses, with excellent customer service. Just make sure to provide for allowances.
Secondly, you can also browse through department stores with their beautiful maternity dresses in different colors. Yes, you can also wear colored wedding dress on your wedding day, if you like.
Thirdly, look through designer boutiques that offer maternity wedding dresses. You are assured that these dresses were specially designed to flatter the pregnant figure, provide utmost comfort, and even be adjustable based on your pregnancy state. You might have to pay a little bit more but it will be worth it.
Lastly, you must also look through catalogs and then have your favorite seamstress sew your dream dress. Once more, just make sure to make allowance especially when your wedding will still be in several months' later.
How to Choose 

It must be emphasized that muumuus are not the one and only option for the modern bride who just happens to be pregnant. You can even appear sexy and/or cute despite your watermelon of a belly! Just look at Mary Shelton's cleavage-baring dress on the red carpet of a movie premier to get some inspiration.
Just choose the cut and color that best flatter your skin tone, hair color and belly bump. You have a lot of choices in maternity wedding dresses, too - strapless, A-line, empire, halter and spaghetti straps, to name a few.
One word of caution, though. It is not and will never be sexy to show off your belly in a cut-out dress! It's tacky, trashy and tricky, to say the least. Cover your belly, bare your other assets, say, your great shoulder line.
