TIPS TO CHOOSING YOUR PERFECT WEDDING GOWN
A-Line or Trumpet? Mermaid or Ball Gown?
There is no one right answer for the dress that stuns the crowd. It all depends on your body type, the look you’re going for, and even the venue. While most brides-to-be begin their search by scouring the internet for wedding dresses, there is simply no substitute for a visit to a gown studio for a dress fitting. This will give you the clarity you need to select the dress that suits your profile and that you will ultimately fall in love with. It is equally important that you speak to people who know wedding gowns, like we do.
A-Line: This silhouette is tightly fitted around the waist with graceful swirls that flow out towards the bottom. It resembles a gorgeous letter A that elegantly flatters most body types and is very versatile.
Mermaid: This style is the elegant sister to the Ball Gown silhouette. It is understatedly fitted from the top to knee height before flaring out into an exquisite “mermaid’s” tail. This style is very versatile and compatible with most body types.
Trumpet: A cross between an A-Line and a Mermaid silhouette, designed to accentuate a small waist. Brides considering a Trumpet style may need to be mindful of their figure.
Column: This silhouette feature a slim profile that flows elegantly from top to bottom, making it perfect for lean figures and curvy frames alike.
Ball Gown: This classic silhouette has a fitted bodice and a full voluminous skirt that often features layers of tulle or crinoline. Ballgowns are usually associated with more formal events, such as weddings or operas. It is suitable for most body types but looks particularly stunning on taller frames.
Tea-Height: Ultimate comfort for the most important moment. It is simple, cheeky, and elegant all at the same time, and is suitable for all body types. It is also easy to carry.
