Wedding dress styles – how to find the right one for you? Every bride dreams of looking and feeling special on her wedding day. Choosing a wedding dress is not only a matter of taste or trends, but above all of matching the cut to the silhouette and the personality of the future wife. Some styles add lightness, others highlight the figure, while still others create a fairytale effect straight from a royal ball. Before you start fittings, it is worth getting to know the variety of dress cuts and finding out which one you may feel best in.
Wedding dress styles
A-Line
The A-line dress is one of the most universal and classic styles. The top of the dress is fitted, while the skirt gently flares toward the bottom, creating the characteristic “A” shape. This cut subtly emphasizes the waist while concealing the hips and thighs (for those who want to show their legs – there is also a version with a slit!). It is an ideal solution for women who want to feel elegant but without excess.
The A-line dress suits almost every body type. It looks especially beautiful on women with a pear-shaped figure, as it slims the leg line and balances proportions. Models in this cut can be very diverse: fully satin (Camila from the Cote d’Azur collection), tulle with lace (Eclat from the Love in Tuscany collection), corset styles with draping (Bounty from the City Lights collection), or even muslin with long sleeves (Siney from the Love in Tuscany collection). One could list many more, which shows that dresses in this cut are not all the same. That is why it is worth trying them on in different fabrics to see what the future bride feels best in.
Princess
A lot can be said about the princess style, but what it is most often associated with is the true definition of the wedding wow effect. The dress has a fitted bodice and a fairly voluminous skirt, often supported by a petticoat or with dense gathering at the waist. It creates a clearly defined waist and gives the silhouette fairytale proportions.
This is an ideal choice for brides who dream of a royal entrance to the church or reception hall. The princess style works well for petite and tall women, as well as for those who want to conceal wider hips or fuller thighs. It is worth remembering, however, that the large volume of the skirt may limit freedom of movement, so during fittings it is a good idea to make more movements in the dress and test it by dancing, jumping, or sitting down.
Trumpet
The trumpet style beautifully emphasizes feminine curves. The dress is fitted at the top and through the hips, and begins to flare gently from mid-thigh. Thanks to this, it creates the effect of a slim silhouette while offering more freedom of movement than a mermaid dress. A great example is the Blanche model from the City Lights collection.
This is a good compromise for women who want to accentuate their curves while still being able to dance comfortably until morning. The trumpet style looks great on tall women with a clearly defined waist. As with other cuts, one trumpet dress is not the same as another, so it is worth trying them in different fabrics and finishes to check whether this is really the right cut for you.
Mermaid
This is definitely a sensual wedding dress style, but it is also the most demanding. A mermaid dress tightly hugs the body down to the knees and then flares out dramatically, creating a “wave” effect. It is a cut that exposes all the assets of the figure, from the bust, through the waist, to the hips.
It is ideal for confident women who want to look bold and dazzling. However, it should be remembered that the mermaid style restricts freedom of movement, so before choosing it, it is worth checking whether you can walk, sit, or dance comfortably in such a dress. It looks best on women with an hourglass figure, and one should not forget to choose the right neckline to enhance the whole look, so that the dress does not create an armor-like effect.
Bell
The bell cut is an interesting option for those of you who are looking for a compromise between subtle classic elegance and a fairytale effect. The dress has a fitted bodice and a skirt that flares toward the bottom, but with less volume than in the case of the A-line. The silhouette resembles the shape of a bell—elegant but not excessive.
The bell style works well for women who want to highlight the waist while maintaining lightness in the overall look. In this case, muslin models work perfectly, for example the Suzy dress from the City Lights collection or Witney from the Love in Tuscany collection. It is a great choice for weddings in a romantic or rustic style, or in an outdoor setting.
Necklines – the finishing touch
Wedding dress styles. The cut of the dress is one thing, but the neckline is of great importance in bridal styling. It is the neckline that determines the character of the whole look, and when chosen well, it can slim the silhouette and highlight the bride’s beauty. In our offer you will find many of them.
Sweetheart neckline – a romantic and feminine option that beautifully emphasizes the bust and shoulders. It pairs perfectly with the princess style or A-line dresses.
V-neckline – slims the neck and torso and adds lightness to the overall look. It suits every cut and most body types.
Straight neckline – a minimalist, horizontal corset cut. It looks best when combined with voluminous skirts and works very well for smaller busts.
Boat neckline – an elegant and timeless neckline that exposes the collarbones and frames the bust. Ideal for brides who appreciate subtle elegance and are inspired by modern fashion.
Halter / high neckline – tied at the neck and emphasizing the shoulders. It gives a modern effect and is a great choice for minimalist ceremonies.
Illusion neckline – made of delicate mesh that stabilizes deep cutouts or is decorated with lace. It provides a sense of lightness and security at the same time.
The variety of cuts and necklines means that every bride can find a dress in which she feels herself. There is no single universal solution—what looks stunning in photos or on a friend will not always be ideal for you. That is why it is worth exploring different options, but above all trying dresses on and checking how a particular gown fits your silhouette. The most beautiful creation is the one in which you not only look dazzling, but also feel comfortable and natural.
