Why compromise even a little on good style on your special day? Here’s a complete guide to picking the perfect bridal wear for your body shape.
The day you have been waiting for, the day you have been imagining all your life–your wedding day. And you might have wondered from time to time how perfect you want your wedding day to be. The perfect decoration, the perfect music, the perfect food. And most importantly, the perfect bridal look.
To achieve the perfect bridal look, you need a bridal attire that fits your body beautifully, and that can’t be done without knowing what your body shape is. Dressing according to one’s body shape is essential to look good and avoid looking messy. Also, body shape doesn’t only dictate what silhouette you should wear but also what colours and prints will flutter your body more. So to-be brides, know your body shape and follow this guide below by Team Wedding Affair to find your perfect match in bridalwear.
Pear Body Shape
The most common body shape out there is the one called pear-shaped or triangle body shape. Women with this shape usually have wider and heavier bottoms and narrower shoulders. To balance this curve, a pear-shaped bride needs to choose a blouse with more detailing and volume. You can rock dramatic sleeves better than anyone. Avoid adding volume to your bridal lehenga, instead go for a well-fitted and flared lehenga to use your figure perfectly. You should avoid fishtail bottoms if you don’t want too much attention towards your bottom.
Apple Body Shape
An apple-shaped body is completely opposite of a pear-shaped body. Apple or inverted triangle body shape means you are heavier on the top with broader shoulders and lighter from the bottom with narrower hips. To balance this, a bride needs to choose a lehenga with a wide flair and more detailing. Avoid adding too many embellishments on the top as well as closed necklines. Sheer fabrics and layering are your best friend. Go for a flared jacket or cape to flaunt your body.

Hourglass Body Shape
First of all, congratulations! If you have an hourglass body shape, you look good in pretty much everything. A defined waist and balanced upper and lower body are your key features. The perfect silhouette that will highlight your perfect figure is a mermaid or fishtail bridal lehenga. It flaunts your curve and flares to add drama. Similarly, a saree will also look beautiful on you. A corset or halter neck top also suits you the best for your wedding outfit.
Rectangle Body Shape
You probably have a very athletic and skinny frame without many curves if you have a rectangular body shape. Also known as H shape, this kind of body gives you an opportunity to experiment with a variety of styles. Add a lot of volume and drama to your lehenga to elevate that regal bridal look. Pair it with a low-cut neckline top to create an illusion of curve. Use vertical stripes to redefine your shape. A flowy dupatta can add to the soft and subtle femininity.
Round Body Shape
If your weight is evenly distributed and you have a less defined waistline, then you have an O shaped body or round shaped body. You might have a slim face and legs and your centre body is probably chubby. An empire length silhouette with a low neckline can be a great option for you. For lehengas, go for sharara cut lehengas with a flared bottom in flowy fabric. Go for a high waist option and show just below your bust if you want to show some skin. Avoid still fabrics that can make your body look flat.
