Wedding season is here and finding the perfect wedding dress for your big day is one thing all women dream of. I’ve gathered a bunch of my favorite wedding gowns for petites this season so if your big day is around the corner (or even if it’s not, we all love to look) take a peek at what I’ve found. The gowns are from stores like J.Crew and Ann Taylor along with some great bridal shoes starting in size 4.

*Tips to remember when shopping for your gown:

• Try to forget the trends and focus on what works best for your figure.
• Look for material that is not too full and not to thin.
• Look for dresses that have bodice detail and detail around the natural waist. This lengthens the look of the dress.
• Keep the details small and the waist high to flatter your frame.

Wedding season is just around the corner and for many brides to be, finding the perfect dress is at the top of their to-do list. Normally, when it comes to wedding dress shopping for petite women – trends should really be put aside in lieu of what works best for petite figures. Fortunately, Jasmine Galleria’s new 2012 wedding trends for brides-to-be are actually in favor of petite figures!

Jasmine Galleria, a full-fledged bridal emporium located in Lombard Illinois, offers everything you could ever need for your big day. Jasmine’s Bridal lines consists of JASMINE EXCLUSIVE, JASMINE COUTURE, and JASMINE COLLECTION. All three lines are hand crafted and come in a variety of styles including ball gown, mermaid, trumpet, and A-line. Jasmine Galleria originated from a desire for simple, redefined wedding dresses and epitomizes the phrase “timeless elegance, modern luxury.” At Jasmine, you can customize the gown of your dreams to match your individual style, taste, and size — exactly what us petite women want to hear! Not only does Jasmine Bridal have wedding gowns but they also carry special occasion gowns, bridesmaids dresses, graduation dresses and more.

The five biggest trends for bridal gowns this season:

Embellished necklines – perfect for petites because with detail closer to the top of the dress, your eye moves upward for an elongating look.

Colored gowns – don’t know if I would necessarily wear a colored gown but adding a colored sash around your natural waistline is an excellent way for a petite bride to draw attention upwards which ultimately lengthens your look.

Romantic lace – always timeless and will add detail to your dress without overwhelming your figure.

Plunging backs – if you’re comfortable with a plunging back go for it – it’s sexy but elegant and romantic at the same time.

High-low hemlines – this is one tricky bridal trend that you may want to think twice about.

 

As a petite bride (or a bride of any height for that matter), always remember one thing – have fun with it! Enjoy every minute while you’re shopping for your gown and go with what makes you feel beautiful. Trust me – you’ll know when to say “yes” to the dress.
