The Complete List of Wedding Dress Silhouettes

//  by The Wedding Shoppe

One of the most important rules for wedding dress shopping is finding a style you feel most confident in. With a variety of options to choose from, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite wedding dress silhouettes to help you choose the perfect style for your special day.

A-Line

A-Line remains one of the most popular wedding dress silhouettes. This style looks flattering on all body types as it hugs the bust and flares out below the waist. It can also help petite brides appear taller due to its elongating effect.

Mermaid

Second to the a-line, mermaid gowns are another beloved wedding dress silhouette. This style contours your waist and hips before flaring out at the bottom. We recommend bringing wedding dress shapewear to your dress appointment so you can see the full fit and how it feels under your gown.

Slip

Simple yet sophisticated, a classic slip dress is one of our favorite wedding dress silhouettes. It’s also available in a variety of styles and necklines so you can choose what feels most comfortable for you. Because of the minimalism, it also allows you more freedom with jewelry and hair accessories. 

Ball Gown

Feel like royalty on your wedding day in a beautiful ball gown. This elegant fit-and-flare style features a fitted bodice and voluminous skirt that accentuates the waistline. You can also choose a variety of skirt fabrics such as tulle, silk, taffeta, and more.
