Walk Down the Aisle in Empire Wedding Dresses

Preparing for a wedding takes a lot of hard work and a lot of things to consider. Nowadays the bride’s wedding dress is a one of the highlights of any wedding and it isn't pretty easy to choose one. A lot of considerations should be put into it and sometimes you get bombarded with too many ideas that you see on wedding websites, Pinterest, magazines etc., that most often than not a bride gets too overwhelmed and frustrated. I experienced the same thing during our wedding; spent days and days of looking for inspiration for my wedding dress and can’t decide what silhouette and style I like and would best fit my body type and height.



The following are types of wedding dress silhouettes that are most commonly seen on brides of today:
A-line - A dress or skirt silhouette that is narrower at the top, flaring gently wider toward the bottom thereby resembling the letter A. Works well on most figure types; good for disguising bottom-heavy figures.
Column - In fashion, a column, similar to a sheath dress, is a type of dress designed to tightly fit the body. It is often made of a very light and thin material like cotton or silk, and rarely contains any flourishes. A column dress typically falls around the knees or lower thighs, and can be either strapped or strapless.


Empire - A type of dress or top where the waist line is raised above the natural waistline, sometimes as high as right below the bust.
 
Meringue - Characterized by a very full skirt that begins at the waist and continues to a formal length. It has a full bodice and a cinched waistline that falls into a full skirt.
 
Mermaid - The mermaid dress is close fitting through the bodice, down through the hips and to about mid or lower calf where the skirt flares out.


Princess / Ball Gown - Designed to hang in smooth, close-fitting, unbroken lines from shoulder to flared hem.
 
Trumpet - A straight skirt with a hem flounce that flares away from the body at the hem.

Talking about wedding dress silhouettes, I want to focus on Empire cut gowns. This type of dress dates back from the Roman/Greek Empire and are revered for achieving that regal look. Empire cut gowns have seams that fall just right below the bust which makes it very flattering for women especially those with smaller bust size. Moreover, Empire Wedding Dresses would not draw as much attention to the belly as a dress with a lower waistline would.


Empire Wedding Dresses are also perfect for brides who are expecting a child at the time of their wedding because the skirt part of the gown can be flowing and will provide extra room around the waist area.


If you are considering this silhouette for your wedding dress, you can browse through www.topswedding.com for their gallery of Empire Wedding Dresses and see how you can wear this flattering cut.
