Looseness or Elasticity
Depending on how pregnant you are on your wedding day, it will be difficult to estimate the size of your belly, especially if you are approaching the final weeks of your pregnancy. For this reason, the adjustments that will have to be made to your dress during the try-ons will have to give you enough slack to avoid that, when the day comes, it doesn’t fit you.
It is best to look for specific designs for pregnant women so that you don’t have to make too many adjustments to a dress that is not. Just as wedding dresses for curvy women tend to favor loose, flowing lines, wedding dresses for pregnant women tend to use loose patterns. There are companies that create designs for brides and mothers-to-be each season and also have a large catalog of evening gowns for pregnant women, so you’re sure to find the perfect dress!
If you prefer to continue the search among the rest of the wedding dresses, not just those exclusively for pregnant women, look for loose silhouettes and those that can be adjusted in length, because due to your condition, it will surely be shorter from the front than from the back.

Comfort
If for any woman comfort should be a determining factor when buying her wedding dress, for you this factor should be practically decisive. Straight silhouettes and empire type dresses are the most suitable for pregnant women. In addition, the latter are very flattering, because they fall very fluidly from the line under the chest. A ribbon or bow at the waist softens the look and makes it more romantic.
It’s not just about the dress being loose so it doesn’t press on the belly; you also need to keep in mind that you can move, sit, dance or kneel, in the case of a church wedding. If the wedding is civil, you may be interested in the spontaneity of short wedding dresses, which are great!
While this may not be the most glamorous detail, think about when you’ll need to go to the bathroom, too. With pregnancy and all, do you think a dress with a lot of volume will be comfortable in this case?

Discretion
Getting married while pregnant is no longer a taboo and the good news should be presumed. However, your wedding should not be confused with a baby shower. Even though you will both be very happy about the arrival of the little person inside you, do not forget that the wedding is a party for you and that the future spouses should be the protagonists.
In addition to the fabrics and the cut, a simple makeup will highlight the natural beauty that characterizes the mothers. And for the hair, a medium-high hairstyle will be the perfect balance between elegance and freshness.

Femininity
A sexy mom? Of course you are. Seeing yourself as feminine will make you feel more beautiful and confident. Don’t give that up for your early motherhood. Sensuality should never fall into the vulgar, so it avoids too deep necklines or too short skirts, which will also make you uncomfortable. Instead, there are very sophisticated and romantic lace applications, as well as lingerie dresses with very careful details that will make you look like a star.
Now that you have an idea of how to choose your wedding outfit and even hairstyle, you can continue with the rest of the wedding preparations. Go calmly, prioritize your health and delegate the duties that stress you the most. And when it’s time to choose your figurines for the wedding cake, ask your figurine to sport a proud baby bump too.
