4 Popular Wedding Dress Styles
May 18, 2010
Wedding dresses come in a variety of different styles and shapes and, once you start looking for your perfect dress, it can be an overwhelming choice. If you’re unsure of which style of dress to go for, then here’s a useful guide to four of the most popular wedding dress styles.
1. The A-line Wedding Dress
The A-Line Dress
The a-line wedding dress is a class dress style that suits all sizes and shapes. It’s characterised by a fitted bodice that moves down to an a-line skirt. This style flatters the bust, slims the waistline and hides the hips.
With a-line dresses that are wonderfully embellished, through beading, embroidery or sequins, on the top half of the dress, the eye can easily be naturally drawn to the top half and away from areas you’re trying to hide below.
2. The Empire Line Wedding Dress
The Empire Line
Empire line wedding dresses are where the body of the dress falls from just below the bust, rather than from the waist. This style of wedding dress is perfect if you want to create a romantic look, reminiscent of the type of dresses worn in the Jane Austen era, and want to make yourself look taller than you actually are.
3. The Full Skirt Wedding Dress
The Full Skirt Dress
This style of wedding dress is big and flouncy. It’s what many people regard as a fairytale wedding dress, as it has a big full skirt. Some people can carry it off well, but if you’re short in height, it can be too overwhelming. Or if you have wide hips, then the style can over-emphasise them, so avoid if necessary. If you’re not sure if it’s a style you can carry off successfully, then give it a go in a bridal shop – with honest advice from your friends.
4. The Column Wedding Dress
The Colum Dress
The column wedding dress is a fitted style that typically hugs the body and produces a long line look. Some column dresses are ultra fitted and structured, with a straight skirt, whilst others can be a bit more floaty in style. This style of dress is perfect if you want to show off your body. If you’re not keen on clingy dresses, then you may find it reveals a bit too much for comfort.
