Finding the perfect wedding dress is probably the best part of planning your wedding, and you may already have an idea or two of what you want to wear. There are plenty of styles to choose from and you might get overwhelmed if you try them all—to keep things simple, keep in mind your body type and go for the dress that makes you not only look good, but feel great as well. There are plenty of designer collections you can browse to find the perfect fit and style.
Designers have their own signature styles; for instance, a JimHjelm wedding dress makes use of delicate embroidery and unique details coupled with luxurious fabrics. Collections are diverse and can range from vintage-inspired silhouettes to modern cuts, and there’s sure to be something out there that speaks to you. If you’re on the lookout for the dress to wear on your wedding day, here are five timeless styles you’ll surely love. Choosing the right style can emphasize your best assets!
The Ball Gown
All those years of reading and
watching fairytales have made us want to look like royalty, and this
style fits the bill. Featuring a fitted bodice and full skirt, the
ball gown is usually paired with a dramatic train and long lace or
silk gloves. This cut is recommended for pear-shaped or slender
brides to hide the lower body and emphasise the waist.
The
A-Line
A classic style, the A-line is
fitted around the bodice with a length that ranges from above the
knee to a full length flowing into the train. Also known as a
Princess dress, it’s a flattering look that fits and balances any
body shape; the full skirt hides a curvy bottom or adds curves where
there aren’t any!
The
Sheath
Also known as a column dress for
its narrow shape, the sheath flows straight down from the shoulders
to the feet. It is designed to hug the body and show off curves,
which makes it an ideal choice for lean and slender brides. Petite
and slim brides can also benefit from the sheath, which makes them
look taller.
The
Mermaid
For the woman with just the right
curves, the mermaid dress is the best silhouette to wear. The dress
is cut to fit the body—especially the hips—and flares out to the
hem for that dramatic effect. It’s also called a trumpet dress, and
works best for those with hourglass and rectangle body shapes.
The
Empire
The main characteristic of the
empire dress is its raised waistline that rests just below the bust. Empires flow from this
part down in a full length, and can have varying sleeve lengths and
styles—or no sleeves at all. The fabrics used are generally light
and flow freely and gracefully to the floor. This style looks great
on any body type, especially pear-shaped ladies, and is especially
recommended for the bride who wants to enhance her bust. It is also
the ideal and comfortable choice for pregnant brides.
When
picking out your wedding dress, remember to go for the one that makes
you feel beautiful inside and out—and be sure to choose the one you
can dance in!
