Destination wedding Gowns
Many brides are choosing to get married in far away places. Perhaps on a mountain
top or by the ocean or on an exotic island. This is called a "destination" wedding.
For these types of weddings it is impractical to wear a traditional wedding dress.
Many traditional wedding gowns have elaborate trains and are very full. For the
destination bride this can be too much. They are looking to purchase a simpler wedding
dress, perhaps one with no train or limited beading. BridePower has a section
devoted to these brides. Searching by Sheath, Aline, or Mermaid silhouette will help
you locate these bridal gowns.
Wedding Gowns by body type or Silhouette
The wedding dress "silhouette" refers to the shape of the dress. This is one of
the key elements of a wedding gown that will help determine the type of gown that
you like and is the most flattering to your body type.
Bridal gowns are no different than other types of clothing. Certain silhouettes
and styles of dresses will look better on certain types of bodies. This is of course
very subjective and each bride has to decide whether she will follow these guidelines
when buying a wedding dress.
Various Silhouttes of wedding dresses
A-line silhouette wedding dresses will flair out from your waist and look like the
letter "A". This is a popular bridal gown shape because it is forgiving and flatters
most body types. It will help a shorter bride appear taller and full-figured brides
appear less so.
Many A-line wedding gowns have an empire waist. This creates a high waistline
that stems from the bust and falls to a slender skirt. Empire waisted wedding dresses
are very forgiving and work well with many shapes. An A-line gown with a dropped
waist can especially help brides with a thicker waist and hip area.
This is what many brides think of when they think of a wedding dress. Ball gowns
are the princess look of wedding dresses. This type of dress has a tightly fitted
bodice and a very full skirt. If you want to go with a classic look on your wedding
day, this is a great choice. This type of wedding dress is an ideal choice for slightly
taller brides or for the bride who may wish to hide full hips. For petite or smaller
framed brides, full skirt wedding gowns can be a bit overwhelming. This type
of gown is Great for a New Year’s Eve wedding.
Sheath style wedding dresses follow every curve of the bride's figure. Generally,
the sheath bridal dress has no waist and seems to come straight down from the shoulders.
This silhouette works very well for destination wedding gowns because many of the
sheath gowns have a short or detachable train. This works well for brides who want
to show off their figure in their wedding dress.
Wedding dresses in this silhouette are very similar to the sheath silhouette but
different in that the bottom flares out. This style like the sheath is good for
brides wanting to emphasize their figure. The mermaid silhouette will flair out
at the bottom of the skirt by the knees.
Trumpet Dresses
Trumpet silhouette wedding dresses are very similar to that of the mermaid silhouette,
but a trumpet skirt will flair out higher on the skirt. This silhouette is also
referred to as a fit-and-flare skirt. A very slimming silhouette that will really
lengthen the body.
