What Wedding Dress Style Matches Your Personality?

wedding dress personality

When it comes to bridal fashion, there’s no doubt about it – it’s all about the dress.

On your wedding day, all eyes will be on you – and what you’re wearing! Because you and your gown are the center of attention, finding a dress that reflects your personality is so important.

When shopping for a wedding gown, you are going to find that there are literally limitless options to choose from, so how do you narrow it down to find one that speaks to your style? The easiest way  is to select the silhouette. The silhouette of a wedding gown is the foundation of the style. Once you choose the silhouette that suits you, you can then hone in on things like color, train length, and embellishments to find the gown that best matches your personality.

There are four main types of silhouettes:

  • Empire
  • Ball gown
  • A-line
  • Serpentine, or mermaid

Which one of these cuts best reflects your personality? Keep on reading to find out!

A-Line is for You If:

An A-line gown is simple and straightforward. It’s the least flashy of all of the silhouettes. This is the ideal cut for you if:

  • You dream getting married barefoot on the beach
  • You want to have a simple affair, with passed hours devoirs in lieu of a sit-down dinner
  • The most important part of your wedding will be the program, because you want your guests to kick their shoes off and have a great time
  • Your color scheme reflects cool blues that mimic the ocean
  • Your ideal bouquet is calla lilies tied together with a satin or lace ribbon
  • You intend to wear your hair down with soft waves and a flower behind one ear

Choose Empire-Cut If…

This cut is a little fancier than the A-line. It’s the perfect choice for your wedding style if:

  • You want to have a simple celebration with your loved ones
  • Your menu will reflect home cooked goodness that will make your guests feel comfy and welcomed, like sliders and mac n cheese cups
  • The most important part of your wedding will be the kiss and your first dance
  • Your color palette features pastel colors, like soft pink and cream
  • Your dream bouquet is a round of pink peonies
  • You envision your hair in a semi-formal updo with soft side-swept bangs

Opt for a Ball Gown If…

As the name suggests, ball gowns are formal and they create a princess-like look. Choose this silhouette if:

  • You envision yourself looking like a princess marrying your Prince Charming
  • Dinner will be a formal, six-course meal with traditional wedding fare, such as filet mignon, salmon, chicken marsala and pasta primavera as the entrée choices
  • The vows are the most important part of your wedding day
  • Your color scheme is chartreuse and cream
  • You envision yourself carrying a cascading bouquet of orchids and lilies
  • You plan on wearing your hair in a polished updo, topped with a tiara

Pick the Serpentine (Mermaid) If…

This silhouette is all about glamour. It’s the perfect choice for you if:

  • You want your day to be a glamorous, high-profile event
  • Your menu is going to feature the latest food trends, paired with the perfect wines
  • The most important part of your wedding will be your entrance, followed by your perfectly executed first dance
  • Your wedding is going to be a black tie affair
  • You plan on carrying a clutch of white roses, accented with red gemstones
  • You envision your hair in half-up, half-down accented with a vintage hair comb
