The style of your dress is the most important factor in creating your overall look on your wedding day. Wedding dresses can range from sleek and simple to grand and elaborate, depending on your personal taste and the statement you want to make your big day. The silhouette of your wedding dress is the first impression that your husband will see when you start your walk down the aisle, and you want to make sure that your first impression is a memorable experience. Remember that your dress is not only something special for you, but it is also something special for your husband and you want to look your best for both of you.

This article focuses on five basic styles of wedding dress: A-line/Princess, Empire, Mermaid / Fishtail, Ball gown, and the column. To delineate each of these silhouettes is to provide the necessary information you need to find the dress that is best for you. Each of these sections details the different necklines, sleeve lengths, dress lengths, and fabric choices that are best suited for each style. Walking into a store wedding with a clear idea of what you want, you'll save yourself (and the salon clerk) a lot of headaches. However, it is not a golden rule in wedding dress designs, and you owe it to yourself and your future husband to be adventurous when tying on gowns. You never know what you look like in certain styles if you do try. Who knows, the style you can think of would look worse for your body type might well be that you end up choosing.

Styles of dress: A-Line/Princess

The A-line dress has a shape that is fitted around the bodice and flows to the ground, resembling the outline of an uppercase A. The dress flows fluidity of the bust to the hem of a continuous line. With its classic and simple, A-line dress is suitable for all occasions, from a collection of quiet backyard, a traditional religious ceremony.

Options: The A-line shape is versatile because it can accommodate many different structural elements, including horizontal seems that help define your waistline, or a separate bodice and skirt that feature contrasting fabrics. The appearance of the A-line dress is also a function of length, which can go above the knee for a fun and loving bride, a full-length dress that flows into a chapel-length train for the more traditional bride .

The princess cut is the most spectacular version of the A-line dress. This style emphasizes the clean lines of the A-line using vertical panels that range from the neckline to the hem. The princess style provides elongating lines that create a slimming effect since your eye focuses on the length created by these long, smooth seems.

The A-line style can support many different fabric choices, depending on the look you want. If you want a simple look, free flowing like silk charmeuse are the best option because they allow the dress to hang naturally and create a soft and feminine silhouette. If you want a more structured, with its emphasis on continuity of style A-line, you want a heavier fabric that can maintain the shape, skin like silk or silk satin. The same effect can be achieved with the use of organza, or other supporting tissues, which can be stacked to create a skirt.
