If you are able to "appear" to be in perfect shape using specially designed undergarments, then you should go buy them right away. Choose an elastic shapewear that you can wear under your outfit. Elastic shapewear gives an illusion of the belly fat being evenly distributed around your waist and mid-section. If you feel there is still a lot of uncomfortable, wobbly flab around the tummy, you can get elastic belly-bands. These give a slightly firmer look.
As a dress can reveal, it can also camouflage your body making you look perfect on your special day. This is why it is very essential for you to sit and explore the blueprints of your outfit with your tailor or designer, so that you can pick the best option that suits you. You can conceal your belly by draping your saree pallu or lehenga dupatta around the waist or with a flared bottom. A wide bottom lehenga will make your waist look comparatively smaller; if not that, it will at least make your body look proportionate.
Avoid having heavy embroidery around the waist, and ideally limit the embroidery just at the borders. Remember, if you would like to go for a broad border, stick to shades of the colour of your lehenga. A stark contrast can add to the broad effect. For your dupatta, choose the front drape to cover your waist. Wearing a long choli that ends slightly below the point your lehenga begins, is a smart choice as well.
