We all want to look our most gorgeous for the big day but in reality we know that most of us do not look much like the celebrity icons of glossy magazines. Worried? Don't be. Beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes and the surest way to look your best is to concentrate on the real image of yourself. Just aim to look like you - only even more fantastic!
When thinking about the image you want to create, think about what you normally wear, your favourite colours, where the ceremony is taking place and the tone you are aiming for - relaxed, traditional or avant-garde. Once you have these elements in mind, you can apply them to your wedding outfit.
If your body or choice of ceremony isn't right for a white puffy dress, don't feel that you have to go for it just because of the traditional image of a bride. It is usually a good idea to try a variety of different styles, even those you might think you will hate, as you may be surprised with what really does suit you.
