These are the different types of wedding dress models

No idea what complicated terms like 'empire' or 'fishtail' actually mean in terms of bridal look? We'll help you out: these are the different wedding dress models!

A-line

As the name suggests, an A-line wedding dress gently flares out from the waist. Perfect for brides who want to accentuate their waist or visually slim their hips. Looking for an A-line? Take a look at the Sincerity collection.

Ball Gown

Looking for the ultimate princess dress? Then you're on the right track with a classic ball gown. The waist of an iconic ball gown is very narrow and the skirt is wide and flared and consists (usually) of several layers. You can find a classic princess dress at Ladybird.

Column

Something less well-known are the so-called 'column' wedding dresses. This model follows a straight line from the neckline and flares out just a tiny bit from the point just above your waist. Be sure to check out the selection from Pronovias.

Fishtail

Fish-what? A fishtail (hugely popular in weddingland) is a tight-fitting dress that flares out into a wide skirt just below the knee. Your hips, buttocks, and belly are accentuated. Show those curves! Looking for a fishtail? Sweetheart has what you're looking for!

Empire

Lightweight fabrics (such as chiffon or organza) are perfect for an empire-style gown. This type of wedding dress features a distinctive short bodice and flares out to the ground. Take a look at the selection from Modeca.

Trumpet

Generally speaking, a trumpet-style is strongly comparable to a fishtail. The only difference? A trumpet flares out from the thigh. The same sexy effect without emphasizing your hips? Check! Orea Sposa has your perfect trumpet dress.
