One of the trickiest decisions brides-to-be make is which style of gown to choose for their Asian wedding.

Women may start off with particular saris or lenghas in mind, but after trying on their desired Indian bridal wear they may find it does not look as they expected. It is fairly common for some brides to change their fixed ideas on what to wear on their special day after getting a chance to model their previously preferred outfit. This is because women come in all shapes and sizes and dress styles they have earmarked for their ceremony may not fit as they quite like.

However, there are simple tips to follow in order to find the most beautiful Indian bridal wear and dress designs to suit and flatter women's' figures. For example, petite women shopping for an outfit that appears to give them more height may like to opt for a lengha choli that is embroidered with vertical prints, as this tends to add length to small frames. Square or U-shaped necklines can also help to draw the eye upwards making smaller ladies appear taller.

Brides who wish to look as tall as possible are advised to shop for dupattas that fall from the head to the knee, as this can also lengthen smaller frames. On the other hand, tall, slim, ladies may like to experiment with bright patterns and various choli necklines, to show off their figures. Women who feel they are carrying a few more pounds than they prefer can flatter their figures by choosing an A-line lengha with a choli cut into a kurti-type style.

This type of Indian bridal wear flows over midriffs, which may give confidence to ladies who do not wish to bare any flesh, whereas thinner ladies often choose to keep their cholis short and tailored to provide shape to their slighter figures.
