For a bride who is tall and slim, a slinky sheath or mermaid style is the way to go! Look for an interesting neckline, like this wide scoop with spaghetti straps: http://images.della.com/wc/fash/dressimages/Fashion_BridalGown_kare_C7313_456_664.jpg The material is chiffon, which is very light and flowy, and clings in all the right places. Here's a one shoulder style that's also really pretty: http://i.ivillage.com/relationships/wedding/fashion/mermaid/bona_bfw_3011.jpg
Stay away from anything with a super-full ballgown skirt. When you are tall, these tend to be a bit overwhelming- you'll be a "wall of poof". If you want a little volume on the bottom half, opt for either a fuller mermaid style, or a slim a-line. Here's a really cute mermaid style with a layered skirt: http://www.jlmcouture.com/Alvina-Valenta/Bridal/Spring/2009/Style-9913 and here's a really elegant a-line: http://static.houseofbrides.com/files/images/dt/d/d_134199.jpg
As for color, that depends on a few things:
1. Your skin tone. What colors do you look best in? If yellows, oranges, and reds look best on you, try a soft pink or ivory gown. If you tend to wear more blues, purples, and greens, try on white or pale blue gowns. But stay openminded- you might have your heart set on a pure white gown and find one you love in a completely different color!
2. Time of day. A bright sunny outdoor wedding calls for a crisp color, like pure white or ice blue gown in a light fabric like chiffon, linen, or even cotton, while an ivory or pink satin will glow at a candlelit evening affair.
Your gown will set the tone for the rest of the wedding, whether it be simple and chic, classic and romantic, or fun and whimsical. Think about the kind of feel you want for your wedding when deciding on a dress.The best advice I can give you is quit listening to everyone else! lol Your friends and family want you to be happy, but too many opinions can be WAY overwhelming! Also, there is this myth that it will be love at first sight when you find the right gown. It might be, but more than likely it won't. Most brides will try on lots of gowns, and have 1 or 2 they keep thinking about, comparing all the others to, and usually end up buying that one.

Should a non-virgin be able to wear a white-wedding dress if...?
YYYpunk
If she's only been with one man (the man she's going to marry)?
If no, what color of wedding dress should she wear?
Answer
Oh for heaven's sake people! If you're going to cite history at least get it right!!!
Yes, it was Queen Victoria that famously wore a white wedding dress that was soon copied by the masses. The reason she wore white was because at that time the brides wore expensively dyed heavy clothes in purples, reds and other deep colors in velvets and satins.
Queen Victoria was making a statement of austerity by wearing a plain white dress with a few fairly simple (for those days) embellishments of lace. She wanted to relate to the masses and not appear too haughty to lead the people.
It is true that it is later tradition that people tagged the idea of "virginity" to the color white, and that story attached itself to the "white wedding dress."
So, you may wear any color dress you wish. White is currently a tradition so strong that people will overlook any idea that they have about proving that you're a virgin. Besides, there's no opportunity for anyone to file a complaint.
BTW, you can look up the whole history of Queen Victoria wearing white on line. I have no idea where these other folks got their myths from...
