With all this in mind, how does a bride begin to find this amazing dress? She knows what she envisions, but will that type and style look incredible on her? The goal, after reading this article, is to become informed. The facts are useful, but should not limit what the bride likes or dislikes. Remember you are the final critic when it comes to selecting your gown. Just because one certain style is not recommended for your particular figure doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try this style at the boutique and decide for yourself.

BRIDAL GOWN

BASICS

When selecting the perfect wedding dress, deciding on the type of silhouette is a great place to start. This is the overall look of the wedding gown and most dresses can be categorized into the following three types of silhouettes.

BALL GOWN

It’s not just a dress; it’s an image, a keepsake and an incredible feeling that gives you goose bumps every time you think about it. There is nothing more beautiful than a bride in all her splendor as she walks down the aisle to be united with the man of her dreams. Written by:

The ball gown is the traditional wedding dress shape. When you think of Cinderella or Princess Diana on their wedding days, this is the style of dress they modeled.The fitted bodice leading to the puffiest skirt known to mankind, characterizes this silhouette. This style of dress will accommodate almost any bridal figure, although it is not recommended for petite brides.
