GOWN KNOWLEDGE
The Ultimate Wedding Planning & Guides
Congratulations!
There's a ring on your finger. Now what?
You've found the partner of your dreams – now it's time to find the perfect gown. In addition to finding a gown that fits your location, you also want to find a silhouette that flatters your body type. Bridal gowns come in a large variety of silhouettes, so if you’re not sure what style you like, it may be a good idea for you to try on one of each type so you can see which looks best on you.
Choose your Perfect Wedding Gown
Ball Gown
The true “princess” dress. The ball gown has a fitted bodice and a full skirt. Ideal for most body types, but can be overwhelming on petites with very small frames.
A-Line
Slightly more flowy than a ball gown, A-lines have fitted bodices through the waist and cascade out towards the ground, resembling the outline of an uppercase "A." Ideal for all body types.
Mermaid
Sleek and sexy. Fitted on the body from the chest to the knee, then flares out close to the knee. Ideal for brides looking to show off their curves.
Theath
Literally "fit-and-flare:" fitted through the body and flairs out mid-thigh. This cut is between a modified a-line and a mermaid cut. Ideal for brides looking to accentuate a small waist. Think: hourglass figures and petites.
Empire
A narrow shape that flows straight down from the neckline to the hem. Ideal for lean frames, and athletic body types. Also great for hourglasses who are looking to flaunt their curves!
Let’s choose your favourite neckline style
Narrow down the overwhelming amount of dress options by deciding on your favourite neckline style first.

Asymmetric

Off the Shoulder
The straps drop laterally on the arms in a more or less soft way.
