When it comes to planning your big day, no detail is too small. You have to think about the seating chart, the reception playlist, the cake, and the flowers—and that's not even counting which bridesmaids are walking down the aisle with which groomsmen! Of course, there's one detail that's more important to get right than any other: The wedding dress.
Choosing the right gown is about more than pretty fabrics and chic styles; it's about finding the dress that allows your natural beauty to shine bright. But with so many styles and silhouettes to choose from, it can be tricky to narrow things down. So, why not look to the stars for some guidance? Ahead, an astrologer shares the wedding dress style you should wear, based on your zodiac sign. Are you more of a classic A-line or a funky and flirty jumpsuit? Read on to find out.
