Find the perfect wedding dress for your figure
There are lots of different wedding dress silhouettes. The most important thing here is to find the shape that you like and that also suits you. We list the types of wedding dresses for you here.
- A-line
The A-line wedding dress is undoubtedly among the most chosen shape. It accentuates the waist and camouflages the hips. - Mermaid
The mermaid wedding gown is a tight-fitting wedding dress that flows into a loose skirt at the bottom, as a mermaid's tail evokes this. It accentuates hips and belly very brightly. - Ball gown
The ball gown is very similar to the A-line dress, but has a wide skirt. The ball gown is also called the princess dress . - Empire
The Empire wedding dress is a dress with a short bodice and a skirt that runs straight down. This wedding dress creates a bit of the illusion of length making it very popular with smaller brides. - Fit & Flare or trumpet
This wedding dress is very similar to the mermaid dress, but already above the knee it flows into a loose skirt. Like the Empire dress, this creates an illusion of length. - Straight
If you don't want to accentuate your waist or hips, you should opt for the straight wedding dress. This one shows off your curves well, but does so in a more subtle way.
FAQ Wedding dresses
How much does a wedding dress cost?
Wedding dresses come in all shapes and colours, but also in all price categories. Depending on whether you go to the bridal shop, buy your wedding dress online or have your wedding dress custom designed, there will probably be a different price tag. Of course, the exact price you ultimately want to spend on your own wedding dress also depends entirely on your budget.
How far in advance should I start the search for a wedding dress?
Choosing a wedding dress should be done about 12 to 8 months in advance. It is best to take into account that your wedding dress may have to be ordered, may come from abroad and may need some touching up afterwards .
Is it necessary to make an appointment when trying on a wedding dress?
If you are looking for your wedding dress in a bridal shop, it is usually necessary to book an appointment. This way, the designer can spend enough time on your needs and wishes and in doing so, she can fully focus on giving you the right advice. Be sure to contact one of the wedding dress shops in our list. These shops have a wide range of wedding dresses in all styles, small and large sizes - in short, for every bride!
How many people can I bring to try on my wedding dress?
This is usually up to you unless the bridal shop imposes a maximum number of visitors. Most people bring their witnesses, sisters or mother for this so that they can also give their opinion while trying on and choosing the wedding dress.
Are you wearing the same wedding dress at your civil wedding?
Does your legal marriage fall on the same day as your wedding? Then you might choose one and the same beautiful dress for both occasions. If your civil wedding does not fall on the same day as the wedding party, you might prefer to wear a different wedding dress anyway.
When do the fitting times for your wedding dress take place?
The first time you try on a wedding dress is between two and three months before your wedding. A second or third fitting may follow. About two weeks before your wedding day, you will try on your gown one last time. Take the person who will be dressing you with you and ask the designer or shop assistant for some tips and tricks, so that your wedding dress will look as good on your wedding day as it did during the last fitting. Also be sure to bring your bridal lingerie and your wedding shoes with you so that you get an overall picture of your bridal look on your big day.
