If you’re like most brides, the choice of your wedding dress probably depends on two things: the style or tone of your celebration and your body shape or figure. Apart from these two elements, every wedding dress should also have another important characteristic – it should define who you are. So today, we’re showcasing wedding dress styles and silhouettes and what they reveal about a bride’s personality.
Ballroom Wedding Gowns
Ballroom gowns are typically preferred by brides who wish to have a fairytale dream wedding. These girls have probably grown up reading romantic stories and wish to make a dramatic Cinderellaesque-style statement at their wedding. The style of this celebration would typically be an over-the-top destination wedding or even a grand affair at a luxurious ballroom or banquet hall. The wedding theme and colours would likely include feminine shades such as pink, peach, lavender etc.

A-Line silhouettes
The A-line wedding dress is a complete classic – a traditional style in wedding dresses. Brides who wear one on their wedding day generally wish to follow the ‘something borrowed something blue’ tradition. This means that they wouldn’t mind heirloom jewellery or other hand-me downs passed from one generation to the other. The style of such a wedding would be romantic: full of gorgeous details and/or pastel colour schemes.

Tea length Wedding dresses
If you’ve selected a tea length wedding dress, vintage and retro is your style. Timeless and elegant, the vintage wedding would also include engraved letter openers, timeless tunes and other elements to celebrate the bygone eras.

Short/ knee length wedding dress
The bride who selects a short wedding dress is probably a fun-loving gal who wants to wear that dress over and over. She would want an intimate or a simple ceremony-including an urban wedding reception for just her close friends and family.

Empire waist wedding dresses
You crave versatility and comfort if you select an empire waist wedding dress style. In the past, only women belonging to higher social statuses chose the Empire bodice-so if you select this silhouette you similarly wish to portray an elegant personality. You are a confident girl who does not let the confinements of tradition get in the way. The style of your wedding would also be elegant – tons of planning would go into it that would no doubt lead to the most perfect day.
