Wedding Dress Silhouette You Need to Know

Through the years, we had the chance to alter many different wedding gowns and from our experience the most popular silhouettes that Toronto’s brides prefer are:

A-Line Wedding Dresses

An elegant option that is ideal for all body types. These dresses have fitted bodices through the natural waist, creating the signature shape of the capital letter A.

A-line wedding dresses are meant to be flattering and will always add a little dimension to the bride’s figure. This is because they have an understated flare that hits right at the waist, giving off a very classic hourglass look that is still elegant and modern at the same time.

At their most basic level, this wedding dress style features a fitted bodice with a high neckline and slim sleeves. There is a natural waist in most of them, but some do come without one if it becomes too overwhelming on the bride who wears it. The skirt usually comes with a slight drop at its A-shape point, hovering about knee length from there down. In fact, A-line skirts are often shorter in the front and grow longer from the back to give a pretty, peacock-like flare.

As for embellishments, they can vary in sleeves, trims, and necklines. The A-line wedding dress will also boast an empire waist with a slightly lower back than most other styles out there. It is still fitted through the midsection so it isn’t too revealing or too loose-fitting either. These dresses are ideal for just about any body type and can range in price depending on how fancy you want them to be made.

Princess Ball Gown

These dresses are known for their royal appearance with a voluminous skirt that’s paired with a fitted bodice and are commonly referred to as princess gowns.

The princess wedding dress is named as such because it has a very structured silhouette that makes your waist look tiny! These dresses come in short and long sleeves variations, as well as mini and ankle-length styles. This style is becoming increasingly popular amongst brides who want something a little glam, yet still has a touch of old-fashioned romance! The best part about this dress is it can literally be worn with anything underneath because the top portion looks great with bare shoulders!

The price for these dresses varies depending on how fancy you want them made. A less expensive version might have simple embellishments while pricier versions are designed more elaborately with beading on the neckline, sleeve hem, or bodice. 

Sheath Wedding Dresses

Unlike ball gowns, sheath dresses have a slim silhouette that follows the shape of your body straight down from the neckline to the hem without the voluminous skirt.

The sheath wedding dress has a slimming effect that makes it very flattering to most body types! They come in short-sleeved and long-sleeved variations, as well as mini and ankle-length styles. This style is popular amongst brides who want something classic yet modern at the same time. This is also great if you’re looking for a universally flattering cut that’s easy to accessorize! Multiple cuts can create an interesting pattern when put together properly which is a huge bonus for those brides who want something a little different.

Since this dress doesn’t have much going on in the skirt, you can pair it with just about any kind of embellishment from feathers to floral appliques!

Mermaid Wedding Dresses

The mermaid wedding dress has a very structured silhouette that hugs your curves in all the right places! This dress style typically comes with a bare or cap-sleeved top and a skirt that flares out below the knee for dramatic effect. This style is becoming increasingly popular amongst brides who want something trendy yet still have a touch of old-fashioned romance! You can add semi-sheer sleeves to create an interesting pattern when put together properly which is a huge bonus if you’re looking for something a little different. These dresses come in short and long sleeve variations, as well as mini and ankle-length styles. 

Trumpet wedding dress

The Trumpet wedding dress is a close-fitted gown with a long train, which is why it has been named the trumpet style. The trumpet dress hugs your hips and goes all the way to the ground without any alterations at all. This style of dress looks great on women who have curves since it accentuates their figure while also giving them an air of glamour.

This type of wedding dress could be worn by brides who want to look beautiful and feel comfortable in their wedding gown which they can wear again after their big day. It’s perfect for brides that are going for a timeless look but want to stand out from other traditional couples during their special day.

Mermaid VS Trumpet Gowns: Both styles look good on every shape and size and the main difference is that the mermaid-style gowns are fitted through the bust, waist, and hips, and then dramatically flare out at the knee, whereas trumpets will flare out anywhere mid-thigh or right around your fingertips

Other Popular Wedding Dress Silhouettes

 

Tiered Wedding Dresses

The tiered wedding dress has become popular amongst brides who want something unique and elegant without having to spend hours looking for just the right one on store shelves. The tiered skirt style is structured like an inverted triangle that starts at waist level and gradually grows in size as it approaches the floor.

This style creates a really nice silhouette that gives off an impression of gracefulness and simplicity. They are usually made from high-quality fabrics like silk or satin that have some type of embellishment (such as beading) on the neckline, sleeve hem, or bodice. These wedding dresses typically come in short sleeve variations but there are some long-sleeved ones out there too.

To get around looking too top-heavy, this style usually comes with a fitted waist to accentuate curves instead of making someone look larger up top. This allows more legs to show while showing just enough skin to appear sexy. The price for these dresses varies depending on how fancy you want them made. 

 

Sleeveless Wedding Dresses

The sleeveless wedding dress is perfect for those brides who love showing off their arms and shoulders but aren’t ready to wear strapless just yet! There are a lot of different styles out there now (such as halter top) that can easily transition between day time events and evening functions.

This style is ideal for women who want to show off their skin without having too much attention drawn towards their cleavage area. They usually come in full-length versions, as well as two and three quarter length styles. The sleeveless style gets its sexiness from the way it hugs curves at one of those body parts that everyone is self-conscious about (their arms). Thankfully this dress does wonder to accentuate those areas instead of making them look worse!

 

Court Wedding Dresses

The court wedding dress has become popular amongst brides who want something classic yet modern at the same time. This dress is structured like a skirt with a fitted top that creates a very flattering silhouette for most body types.

This style has been around for years, but it’s still going strong because of how elegant and comfortable they are! They come in short or long sleeve variations, as well as mini and ankle-length styles. The best part about this dress is you can literally wear whatever you want underneath because the top portion looks great with bare shoulders! These wedding dresses typically come in short-sleeved versions but there are some long-sleeved ones out there too. This dress style rarely comes with embellishments, but sometimes florals will be included on the skirt hemline to add a little something extra to an already beautiful dress. 

 

Fit-and-flare dresses

Fit-and-flare wedding dresses have a very structured silhouette that hugs your curves in all the right places! The best part about this dress is it can literally be worn with anything underneath because the top portion looks great with bare shoulders! These dresses come in short and long sleeves variations, as well as mini and ankle-length styles. 

 

Bardot Wedding Dresses

Bardot wedding dresses have a very structured silhouette that hugs your curves in all the right places! This dress style typically comes with a high halter neckline that flaunts your collarbones while elongating your neck. Since the skirt stops just above the knee, you don’t need to wear any kind of pants or slippers to go along with them! 

 

Boho Wedding Dresses

The Boho dress is a long, casual, and bohemian gown. The dress goes with different styles of accessories and shoes including headpieces, combs, and so on. There is no need to wear a specific bridal shoe with the Boho wedding dress as it looks great with any shoe you choose to pair with it.

 

Vintage wedding dresses

The Vintage wedding dress is a throwback to the 1950s and 60s. The vintage dress has a full skirt, puffy shoulders, and usually buttons down the front of it. This style features a full lace skirt that goes all the way to the ground with plenty of crinolines underneath which gives this dress its dramatic look. With an A-line or princess cut, you will have less fabric at your waistline as opposed to the ubiquitous ball gown silhouette from those eras. To keep things modern, there are now also halter necklines as well as high necklines available in this style too which helps give it a unique flair that is not found in other types of dresses.
