Choosing the perfect wedding gown silhouette

Of the many aspects of putting a wedding together the choice of a Wedding Dress is crucial. You will want to find a dress that best showcases your silhouette. Deciding on the correct dress eases the wedding day pressure some and gets you looking your absolute best. The type of gown you get will depend on the type of body you have. That being said, there are gowns that are tailored to bodies of all shapes and sizes. Find which one suits you the best and go from there.

A-line

Probably the most flattering of all gowns, the A-line gives the bride a more slimming look without taking away from the traditional full skirt feeling of the dress. This type of dress can also be worn if you have some extra sexy curves, just go with a modified A-line style.

Ball Gown

Ball gowns give the bride a more fairy tale type look then other gowns. This gown best suites the slender or pair shape figure as the full skirt is able to hide larger hips and thigh areas. Ball gowns may be worn with or without a train, depending on the bride’s preference.

Mermaid (trumpet)

Best recommended for the bride who had really been hitting the gym hard and wants to really show off her figure at the wedding. This gown hugs the body all the way to the knee and then proceeds to flair out. Normally worn by slender women, if you are confident enough and want to show your curves then this is your pick.

Sheath

A very straight dress design that does not hide many (if any) flaws. Normally worn by the more slender figure bride. This dress type is also quite suited for the taller bride as the dress will flow down over the height very nicely.

Tea Length

This style caters to just about every figure shape and is probably the most classic and vintage feeling dress of them all. Usually full skirted and ending at mid-calf, this gown is perfect for showing off your wedding shoes. If you are planning a classic, old fashion style wedding this dress may be the perfect choice.
