Finding a wedding dress that complements your body can make a such a huge difference to how you look and feel on your special day.
It’s about falling in love all over again and feeling the most confident and best version of you.
Here’s a short guide to help you:
- A-Line wedding dress
An A-line wedding dress suits most body types, especially pear-shaped and curvy.
Why? An A-line silhouette can define your waist and hide wider hips. It can help to balance out the upper body and is a universally flattering shape.
- Ball Gown wedding dress
A ball gown wedding dress suits most shapes especially Pear-shaped, hourglass, or those wanting to emphasize their waist.
Why? The fitted bodice highlights the waist, while the full skirt balances out wider hips, creating a classic princess look. A ball gown wedding dress can add drama to your day being much fuller than an A-Line.
- Sheath wedding dress
A sheath wedding dress suits mainly Petite, slender, or tall brides.
Why? A sheath wedding dress skims the body, creating a long, lean look. It’s great for showing off a slender figure or adding height to a petite frame.
- Mermaid or trumpet wedding dress
A mermaid wedding dress is good for Hourglass, curvy, or those with a defined waist.
Why? This silhouette hugs the body and flares out at the knees, highlighting curves and creating a dramatic, glamorous look.
- Empire wedding dress
Good for Pear-shaped, apple-shaped, or pregnant brides.
Why? The empire waist begins just under the bust, flowing into a long, loose-fitting skirt. This can help to hide the lower body while emphasizing the bust. It’s a relaxed shape meaning it’s comfortable and flattering for pregnant brides.
- Fit-and-Flare wedding dress
Good for Hourglass, curvy, or anyone who wants to emphasise their waist.
Why? This style is fitted through the body and flares out at or below the hips, creating a balanced and flattering silhouette that showcases the waist. It’s a much softer style than the mermaid shape.
- Column wedding dress
Good for Petite, tall, or slender body types.
Why? A column wedding dress is similar to a sheath but often with a straighter cut. It elongates the body and works well for a sleek, modern look.
