Selecting the perfect bridal dress is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning. But it can also be one of the trickiest to get right! The first step on your hunt for 'the one' should be to determine what wedding dress style or shape will suit your body. For you to do this, you need to identify your body shape. Something not all of us have deeply considered in the past.

But never fear, the experts at The Kent Wedding Centre are here to help you find the best wedding dress silhouette for your figure.

What Type of Wedding Dress Shape Best Suits Your Body

HOURGLASS

Balanced bust and hips, defined waist

Go for… a Trumpet or Fishtail Wedding Dresses 

This curve-loving dress is the best way to show off the contours of your natural figure. 

Avoid: if you’re pear-shaped, since it draws attention to your lower body. 

A PEAR

If your hips and backside are wider than your shoulders, you're the lucky owner of a pear-shaped body

Go for… a Ballgown Wedding Dress.

The layered fabrics below the waist on a ball gown wedding dress balance you out and also helps to even out larger hips.

A TALL, SLIM SHAPE

If you are naturally slim and slender, then you may want to accentuate your curves. 

Go for… Sheath/Column Wedding Dress.

The simple lines allow your natural body lines to flow, this shape is also great for adding height to petite brides. 

ALL BODY TYPES!

This one suits (nearly…) all brides

Go for… an A-line

As its name implies, this cut is narrow at the top and extends out along the body in the shape of—you guessed it—an ‘A’. There’s a reason it’s one of the most popular skirt silhouettes, it’s super-flattering on almost everyone.
