The Ball Gown
The ball gown wedding dress is the quintessential bridal look, known for its fitted bodice and dramatically full skirt. It’s perfect for brides who want a grand, traditional, and romantic vibe on their wedding day. We love how it creates an hourglass shape, cinching you in at the waist beautifully. Think Cinderella vibes for this silhouette.

A-Line Wedding Dress
The a-line dress is named for its shape, which is fitted at the shoulders and gradually widens down to the hem, resembling the letter 'A.' It's less dramatic than a ball gown but just as elegant. This is a fabulous choice for any bride! It’s the most versatile silhouette that complements all body types and provides a balanced look. It’s timeless, sophisticated, and effortless.

Sheath/Column Bridal Gown
A sheath wedding dress flows straight down from the neckline to the hem, closely skimming the body's natural shape. It's usually lighter and less structured than other styles. It’s great for petite brides or anyone who’s planning a chic destination or modern wedding. The sheath is the ultimate silhouette for a high fashion bride.

Mermaid/Trumpet Wedding Dress
These two are similar, designed to hug the body closely through the chest and waist, flaring out dramatically at or below the knee (mermaid) or mid-thigh (trumpet). It’s a great choice for brides wanting to show off their curves. If you feel confident and want to make a statement on your wedding day, this is the one for you. It’s glamorous, sexy, and red carpet ready.
