A-Line Wedding Dresses

Narrow at the bodice, with vertical seams that flow right to a slightly flared out skirt.

A-line gowns receive their title for the shape they provide and universally complement all body types. This cut sports a fitted bodice and gradually cascades from a natural waistline. It is arguably one of the most traditional and classic wedding gown styles as it provides a versatile silhouette that brides can pair with various fabrications and necklines. This is a perfect compromise for brides looking for something between a ball gown and sheath cut. Due to its complementary pairing element, this cut brings a stunning gown to any wedding theme.

Ball Gown Wedding Dresses

A fitted bodice that comes in at the waist and then flares out to a full, floor-length skirt with lots of volume for a more traditional bridal look.

Renown for its regal appearance, ball gown dresses provide every bride a fairytale aesthetic. This classic cut whimsically pairs a fitted bodice with a wide, full skirt. Often, designers create the structural effect of the skirt using crinoline (a stiff petticoat lining) or elegantly layered tulle. This cut creates a beautiful cinched waistline and creates a romantically classic and noble theme.

Fit & Flare Wedding Dresses

Fitted at the waist and then flares out at or below the hips.

Brides who want to show off their figure without committing to the dramatic mermaid silhouette should consider a fit and flare wedding dress instead. This toned-down version still hugs your body through the chest and waist, while being a little more forgiving through the hips, derriere, and thighs. The skirt flares out above the knee, giving you a little bit more freedom with your legs. Fit and flare gowns are perfect for brides who want to let loose on the dance floor!

Mermaid & Trumpet Wedding Dresses

Mermaid: Form fitting from the chest to the waist, over the hips and then down to the knees, where fabric flares out in dramatic fashion like a mermaid’s tail.

Trumpet: Gown that features a gradually-flared skirt and a close-fitting bodice that skims the lines of the body, through the hips. The gradual flare of a trumpet dress’ skirt resembles the shape of the trumpet’s bell.

Trumpet and mermaid gowns bring an elegant, contemporary, and flirtatious flair to any bride. These cuts can create an hourglass illusion or accentuate the feminine figure as it is tastefully fitted from the bodice through the hips. Fairing out from the knees, these wedding dress styles elicit a stunning dynamic with ruching, beading, or ruffled skirts.
