Shapes
Wedding plans! So many things that you will need
to know as a Bride and of course your wedding planning
checklist can be long! Bridal accessories, bridal
headpieces, bridal veils, bridal flowers, bridal
shoes, wedding favors, wedding programs, wedding
hairstyles, wedding bouquets just to mention some.
However, all brides know that the best concrete
wedding plans start with the wedding dress! So
here are some wedding tips to take you down the
aisle.
Knowing your wedding dress shapes.
Understanding your wedding and bridal
dress shapes is an important part of being a bride!
So here are some basics to create your own wedding
guide.
Straight
wedding dresses. Cut closer to the body. Often
more revealing than traditional wedding dresses.
Usually cut on the bias to allow fabric to flow and
flatter the figure.
A-line
Princess wedding dresses. Think of the shape
of an A! The dress is cut closest to the bust and
then falls away from the body. It is a “forgiving” wedding
dress shape. The dress will avoid clinging to the
hips or thighs. As the dress has a certain “swish” to
it, you can have a field day with statement making
bridal shoes.
Empire
wedding dresses. An A-line dress, with seams
placed under the bust for shaping.
Strapless
wedding dresses. Cut across the bust without
straps or neckline coverage. Wedding planners and
brides alike have rejoiced at this liberating shape
option. A true wedding favor!
Mermaid
wedding dress. Fitted at the waist and flairs
from the knee into a fuller circle. Fashion forward
for a contemporary wedding
Ball
gown dresses. Fitted bodice and fuller skirt.
The quintessential bridal shape.
There are other variations and terms
that you may come across. If you are not certain about
any term always ask for clarification. Keep refreshing
your wedding planning checklist.
