Wedding is truly one of the most important days for both the bride and the groom. For the bride, it just gets a little overwhelming, as all eyes are constantly fixed on her.

If you are someone who has wider hips and thighs with a perfectly defined waistline, then you have a pear-shaped body type. In such body-type, the upper portion of the body is lighter than the lower portion.
You should ideally pick bridal attire that can draw all the attention to your waistline and upper body. A-line lehengas are truly meant for you as they can give an illusion of a slimmer lower body while perfectly highlighting your waist. Off-shoulder or boat-shaped blouses can highlight your gorgeous neckline and will help you in creating a wow-worthy entrance.
Women with inverted triangle body types have broad shoulders and heavier busts while the lower part of the body is lighter. While picking your bridal outfit, just ensure to opt for the one that can bring all the attention to the lower segment of your body. A perfectly embellished flared skirt-like lehenga would make you look stunning on your big day. Since we adore you from the core of our hearts, we’d love to share another pro tip with you. Try to drape the dupatta in such a way that it creates an illusion of narrow shoulders. Avoid heavily embellished cholis, as they might make your bust look bulky.
