Maternity Wedding Dress Shopping Tips

It seems like so many engaged celebrities happen to also be pregnant right now. Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera, Olivia Wilde and Kristen Bell – just to name a few! Planning a wedding during a pregnancy can be a little challenging but with a little extra preparation and advice, it doesn’t have to be very stressful. Here are some maternity wedding dress shopping tips.

Tell Your Bridal Boutique

You’re not the first bride to be pregnant on your wedding day and the assistants at your bridal boutique will be experts in dealing with maternity wear. Call your boutique beforehand whether or not you’re making an appointment and let them know. This way they can put away a range of sizes for you as well as giving you useful tips for paneling and corseting.

Size up

Fittings will need a different strategy throughout your planning as you will know that you will need to size up. Also consider that your feet could swell up during your wedding plans.

Embrace Your Bump

Just because you will be pregnant at your wedding – that doesn’t mean that you should have to conceal it! There are plenty of styles that can be found that will embrace your look. When in doubt, we always look to celebrities! Try to find a celebrity who is your height and body shape who has been pregnant. Did they go to the Oscars or an awards ceremony? What did they wear? Pinterest should be your best friend here!
