forgo long train and long veil?

every woman wants to look and feel perfect or at least good on her big day.

with so many bridal styles available nowadays, how to choose a wedding dress style that suits me?

first, let's identify my body type.

i'm not big but not small either.
i have a little extra meat on my body (ceh meat kunun, padahal fat).
 
basically there are four general body types.
-apple
-rectangular
-pear
-hourglass

mine is hourglass - equal hip and bust measurements with a narrow waist.
haha pembohong!

mine is between apple and rectangular - broad shoulders, full bust, undefined waist, waist is about the same as hips, and large thighs.
more like a cylinder - down rendah diri.

between ball gowns, a-line dresses, empire line dresses, and mermaid dresses which one do you think suits me best?

me myself, i prefer both empire line and a-line - something in between those styles.

the clever empire line style is good to conceal a larger waist.
tends to elongate the body, giving an appearance of being taller.
while the a-line is good to hide hips and large thighs.

and i want it to be simple yet elegant.

simple means to forgo long train and long veil, with minimal detailings and simple jewellery.

i know that it takes a certain confidence to keep things simple, but the effects are always stunning.

what say you?
