Choosing your wedding dress can be one of the most overwhelming tasks during wedding planing – with all the different options from color to style and design. Wedding dresses can range from sleek and simple to grand and elaborate, depending on your personal taste and the statement you want to make on your special wedding day. You want to choose the wedding dress style that looks best on you and fits you perfectly because this is the first and last image you’re your groom will see on your wedding day and you want to take his breath away! Deciding on which style you choose can break down the decision process much easier and faster. There are five popular basic wedding dress types. You can choose from an A-line/Princess style, Empire, Column, Ball Gown, or Mermaid/Fishtail.

The A-line/Princess cut shapes the upper body and flows out at the bottom. This is a classic and appropriate style for any wedding scenery. This dress many body shapes and can be worn in different lengths. The princess style provides elongated lines that create a slimming effect because your eye focuses on the long smooth fabric.

The next style is the Empire bridal gown. This dress is defined by the raised waistline that accentuates the breasts. This can also fit well on most body types, but is more appealing on a smaller breasted bride. This dress can be designed with jewels and embellishments on the waistline. This dress also works well with pregnant brides thanks to all the fabric on the stomach area and below.

The Column type wedding dress is a classic wedding dress style. This one has a narrow shape that flows straight down from the neckline. This dress tends to hug your body and show off your curves. This dress will work well with a lean figure short or tall. This can also restrict movement because it is so tight throughout.

The most traditional style wedding dress is the Ball Gown. This one is a more formal and elegant look. It is the typical fairytale wedding that many brides dream of and look antique in. Trains are perfect with the ball gown since the substantial structure of the skirt can balance the weight of a train. This style can accommodate most body types, but the ball gown is better for slender or pear-shaped figures because the full skirt helps to accentuate the waist and hide the lower body. If you have a large bust, this style will help to create the hourglass look.

A more recent wedding dress style that has picked up much popularity is the mermaid style wedding dress. This dress contours the body from the chest to the knee. This is a sexy look because it highlights the curves of the bride’s figure. This is a dress that a confident bride can wear to pull off and there are various skirt types available for this dress. The mermaid cut is not for everyone. This daring design is best worn by slender figures, both short and tall. Since the mermaid dress is made to hug the body and show every curve, it is not well suited for those brides with full figures.

These five different dress styles are all gorgeous looks and any body type and figure can choose one of these , but being knowledgable about the different choices helps you choose what wedding dresds fits best for your bridal body type!! It is best to pick a wedding dress that fits your body shape the best and the one that you will feel most confident in wearing. You can still choose different options from the style you choose in length and decorations.
