The Top 3 Wedding Dress Silhouettes
Why are some wedding dress styles more popular than others? Last year, we once again had the opportunity to review many wedding photos. And so we’ve observed many trends that come and go. However, some dress styles remain consistent favorites among brides. Here are the top 3 timeless dress styles:
This article covers the following topics:


The Mermaid Wedding Dress
The fishtail dress is usually sleeveless, so it’s worn off-the-shoulder. The cut is very form-fitting, especially around the bust and hips. That means it’s not so easy to hide any problem areas, but if you choose a mermaid-style wedding dress with a deep back neckline, for example, you’ll create a whole new focal point! A definite plus: sexiness meets elegance!


The A-line dress
Why is the A-line so popular? It simply flatters every figure! The slim-fitting top takes center stage, while the skirt falls wide and flatters the hips and legs. The result? The bride looks like a princess, has plenty of legroom, and there are almost no limits to the fabric choices with this silhouette.


The Empire-Style Wedding Dress
"Empire" means "empire" in French, and truly—this dress is imperial! A high waist and a flowing fabric that flatters the silhouette. What makes the Empire style so special is that the dress comes in dozens of variations and always looks elegant. With or without long sleeves, with a narrow belt or a satin sash across the chest, made of tulle or chiffon. These types of dresses often have a simple design and leave the back and neckline open. This creates space for an elaborate updo. That way, both the hairstyle and the dress become equal eye-catchers!
