When shopping for ‘the dress’ you have a few options of what styles you can have, here is my handy guide on what wedding dress styles there are.

A-Line

A classic style that flatters all brides, an A-line dress is fitted to the waist and then flows out creating an A shape. An A-line dress will work in most venues and themes.

Mermaid or Fishtail

Wanting to show off your tall and curvy figure? This style does that perfectly with its dramatic skirt that flares out at the bottom like a mermaids tail.

Tea-length

Sitting between mid-calf and your ankles tea length dresses are can help the shorter bride as they may be swamped by a full-length dress.

Trumpet

A dress between an A line and a mermaid the trumpets flare is more mid-thigh and less dramatic than the mermaids tail. Great for pear shaped brides.
