Five Basic Wedding Dress Styles
It seems that it is not accurate to describe bridal gowns as fashionable as possible. However, you will find many wedding dresses which are designed fashionable and stylish. How could your wedding dress help you attract more attentions on your wedding day? It is important for you to buy wedding dresses in your own style. If a dress is better than all other dresses on you, it is the right dress you should choose without any hesitation.However, choosing a wedding gown is probably one of the most time consuming and difficult things for a bride to do. There are so many styles to choose from that it can be quite overwhelming. When you break it all down, there are basically 5 choices, Empire, Column, the A-Line or Princess, Mermaid and Ball Gown.
Empire
This is a very good lace wedding gown again for most body types but especially good for those women with a smaller bust or those with a larger bust. This is because the dress brings the focus of attention to around the neckline. With some jewellery here, the effect is increased and the neckline becomes the centre of attention.
Column
The column style wedding gowns are quite well fitting and is more suitable for the slimmer lady. It is not the most forgiving so if you have body areas that are perhaps a little larger than you are happy with, this dress will not do well to hid it. Due to the hugging nature of the dress, it will make the bride look taller, the downside is that it can be a little harder to move in!
A-Line or Princess Style
This is a great dress that is suitable for most body types. The way the dress is made gives the impression of height and is good for the bride who wishes to look taller. The cut also helps to make the bride look slimmer which is a bonus. The style means that there is a full skirt and the whole dress is very versatile. It accentuates the best bits of your body and hides the others!
Mermaid
The mermaid wedding dress is designed to follow the lines and curves of the bride’s body like a second skin without being skin tight. The true mermaid dress is also often called a “trumpet dress” because it starts as a sheath at or below the shoulders and does not flare out until it reaches slightly above or below the knees. Here it will flare out in to a much fuller skirt that usually is designed to touch the floor covering the feet.
Ball Gown
This style of dress is good for the slimmer bride and also for those who do not wish to show off the leg area too much. The way the dress fans out at the bottom does not show off the legs at all but the centre of focus if at the upper half of the body. This style is also probably not best suited to shorter women as it can look proportionally unequal.
