Here at First Look Attire, we know how exciting wedding dress shopping is - but it can get a little daunting when you realize just how many different types of gowns there are! If you aren’t sure where to start in your quest to find the perfect bridal gown, we’re going to give you a short guide on the most popular wedding dress silhouettes!
A-Line Wedding Dresses
A-line bridal gowns are by far one of the most beloved in the bridal fashion world. This silhouette is fitted through the bodice and waist, then gradually flares to the hem of the skirt, creating an uppercase “A” shape. This silhouette is incredibly versatile, flattering, and perfect for virtually any wedding venue or style. An a-line wedding dress is timeless, elegant, comfortable, and complements all body shapes.

Ball Gown Wedding Dresses
A ball gown wedding dress is quintessentially royal and bridal in so many ways, making it another highly regarded wedding dress silhouette. It has a fitted, structured bodice much like an a-line gown, but the skirt is much larger in comparison and flares out dramatically from its natural waist. This is a great choice for a ballroom venue or a traditional church wedding, and it’s best for brides who really want to make a statement.

Mermaid Wedding Dresses
Mermaid wedding gowns are a fabulous choice if you want to highlight those curves! This style is fitted through the bodice all the way through the hips before flaring out either at or below the knee, which creates a glamorous, dramatic silhouette. It’s a great option if your wedding is going to lean modern and glamorous, though it works with many types of weddings. We love this style for petite brides because it elongates the torso beautifully.

Fit and Flare Wedding Dresses
Fit and flare bridal gowns are similar to mermaids; the difference here is that they typically flare out before the knee around the mid-thigh area. This style still hugs your curves throughout the bust, waist, and hips, which we love for creating a stunning hourglass figure. It’s less restrictive than a mermaid, making it more comfortable for dancing and creating a form-fitting look that’s more forgiving. You can’t go wrong with a classic fit and flare!
