Beautiful Wedding Dresses: Find Your Bridal Style
Walking down the aisle is a moment many of us dream about our whole lives — an event you'll love looking back on in pictures and relive in your mind, remembering how excited you were, how special the day was and how good you felt in your dress. The gown you choose plays a pivotal role in how you feel during the celebrations, which is exactly why finding your bridal style matters so much.
Finding a gown that suits the occasion, your personality and your body type is easier said than done — but with our help you'll be on the right path. You'll discover why the classic A-line is considered the most flattering silhouette, which gown suits a laid-back beach wedding, and plenty of advice on necklines, fabrics and accessories.
Consider us your virtual stylist. Finding your dream wedding dress just got a lot easier.
The classic A-line is the most universally flattering bridal silhouette.
We've broken this guide into five popular bridal styles — beach, short, sexy, maternity and mermaid — each one harder to get right than you might expect. Explore the in-depth guides below, and when you're ready, plan the rest of your big day for free with our wedding checklist.

Beach Wedding Dresses
A beach wedding is all about chilled celebrations by the sea, under the warm sun, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Getting the look right isn't always easy — dresses should feel lightweight, breathable and work with your theme, whether that's a strapless chiffon boho gown or something off-the-shoulder with a little more glamour and sparkle. Marrying on the beach demands a certain practicality, or your experience on the day will suffer.
Lightweight, breathable gowns are made for celebrations by the sea.
Our beach wedding dress guide walks you through the best silhouettes, styles and fabrics for a summer wedding by the sea — because not every beach wedding has a bohemian vibe.
Short Wedding Dresses
Not every bride wants to glide down the aisle in a long, flowing ball gown. Some of us love feeling unencumbered — free to fully showcase a silhouette with a shorter hemline. From tea-length and mini through to knee-length and high-low, there's a short style to suit every bride; the trick is getting the right one.
Short gowns are modern, practical and put your shoes in the spotlight.
Our short wedding dress guide reveals the best length to flatter your height, plus a breakdown of high-hem styles from minimalist and sleek to vintage-inspired lace.
Sexy Wedding Dresses
Feeling glamorous and sexy in your gown is the epitome of femininity — whether that means a plunging V-neck bodice, daring tulle pleats or a body-hugging mermaid silhouette. There are many styles of sexy bridal today, each designed to accentuate your curves and draw attention to the parts of your body you love most.
Modern sexy bridal is about confident, tasteful allure.

Maternity Wedding Dresses
Just because you're expecting doesn't mean your gown should feel anything less than pure elegance. There are so many stunning maternity wedding dresses today, designed to keep you comfortable while creating a flattering fit for you and your bump. Spoiler: the empire line is probably the perfect cut for expectant mothers — though a sheath is great if you want to emphasize your figure.
Maternity gowns flatter your new silhouette while keeping you comfortable.
Our maternity bridal guide shares which styles to choose, how to flatter your bump and whether a dedicated maternity dress is right for you.
Mermaid Wedding Dresses
If you dream of gliding down the aisle in a gown that hugs your curves, your dream dress could be a mermaid. This modern classic offers a dramatic look from every angle and is stunning in almost any fabric — though we love it most in organza and lace.
