In the olden days, visibly pregnant women walking down the aisle were subjects of scorn. 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 from among wedding dresses, 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 wear that ugly, matronly, silly smock if you don't want to, especially not with specially-designed maternity wedding dresses to choose from.
Where to Look
You have a wealth of options when it comes to your maternity wedding dress. First, you can browse through department stores with their formal maternity dresses in various colors. Yes, you can also wear colored dresses on your wedding day, if you want to.
Second, 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.
Third, you can look through catalogs and then have your favorite seamstress sew your dream dress. Just make sure to make allowances especially when your wedding will still be in a few months' time.
Fourth, you must also look through online sites. You are sure to find an online store that sells a wide variety of maternity wedding dresses, with excellent customer services, to boot. Again, just make sure to provide for allowances.
When to Look
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 simply because you might just end up with the wrong one.
Let's say you are three months along and your wedding day is on your sixth month. Well, you should shop now for the right wedding dress although you have to wait till at least 2 weeks before the wedding day to have your actual fitting. This way, the perfect dress will fit perfectly!
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 wealth of choices in maternity wedding dresses, too - strapless, A-line, empire waist, halter and spaghetti strap, 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.
