Discovering types of silhouettes for brides: our complete Guide

Choosing the perfect wedding dress is one of the most exciting moments in a bride’s journey. To find your dream dress, it’s important to understand the different silhouettes available and how they can enhance each woman’s figure in a unique and stunning way.

 

Flared / Godet


The princess silhouette is a timeless classic that brings to mind fairy tales. With a voluminous skirt and a fitted bodice, it is for brides who want a romantic and grand look. However, we suggest opting for a less exaggerated volume to bring more modernity and comfort to your look, as well as avoiding “bridal costume” aspects and providing an elegant and contemporary look.

Mermaid


This style is fitted to the body down to the knee, where it flares out into a dramatic skirt. For brides who want to enhance their curves. However, we know that this style can be uncomfortable for some brides. That’s why we always suggest the semi-mermaid silhouette, which offers similar glamour but with much more comfort and freedom of movement. Check out our catalog of wedding dresses with a mermaid/semi-mermaid silhouette.





Semi Mermaid


The semi mermaid silhouette, also known as

the trumpet, is a variation of the mermaid silhouette. It is fitted to the body up to the height of the thighs or hips, where it begins to open

softly. This style combines the glamour of a mermaid with a touch of softness and comfort, allowing for more freedom of movement. It is ideal for brides who want an elegant and feminine look without sacrificing comfort.




Line A

The A-line silhouette is versatile and classic (we love working with this silhouette), characterized by a fitted bodice and a skirt that flares out gradually from the waist. This style is known for its ability to elongate the figure and is flattering for virtually all body types.




Empire


The empire silhouette features a high waist just below the bust, with a skirt that flows gently downward. This style is perfect for brides who want a light look, and is especially suited to outdoor or beach weddings. It is a great choice for mothers-to-be or brides who prefer a more flowy, relaxed look.




Straight


The straight, or sheath, silhouette is fitted to the body and falls directly from the shoulders to the hem, without marking the waist.

This style is ideal for brides who want a clean, modern look. The straight silhouette is perfect for brides who prefer a minimalist and elegant look, providing an elongated and graceful appearance. Check out our catalog of straight silhouette wedding dresses.






Tips for brides-to-be


When choosing the silhouette of your wedding dress, it is essential to consider what makes you feel confident and comfortable. Every body is unique, and the dress should enhance your natural beauty. Here are some tips to help you choose:

  • Know your body: Understanding your body proportions can help you choose a silhouette that highlights your best features.

  • Be open to new possibilities: Don't be afraid to try styles you hadn't initially considered.

  • Consider the season: Lighter, flowy dresses are ideal for summer weddings, while heavier, more structured fabrics may be more comfortable in winter.

  • Think about mobility: Consider how the dress will allow you to move. You want to feel comfortable dancing and walking around during your big day.
