While you may not know what your dress personality is just yet, we’re here to help.

If you like: A-line dresses

This classic cut is narrow at the waist and flares out into a full, A-line skirt. It’s a flattering cut for many body types and is a traditional look. If you like this type of dress, you probably love traditional weddings that match the traditional dress. You want old-school romance, and your style would be described as pure, put-together, and elegant, and never over-the-top or prone to flashy trends. You will probably have the classic elements at your wedding like a veil, “something blue,” and roses.

If you like: Ball gowns

The drama and romance of ball gown wedding dresses is something you’ve probably been dreaming of your whole life. You’ve been planning your wedding for years and can’t wait to see his face when he sees you come down the aisle in this dress. Speaking of that wedding aisle, we see flower petals strewn, doves released as you exit the church to your horse-drawn carriage and a sparkler send off.

If you like: Fit and flare dresses

The modern elegance of a fit and flare wedding dress suggests to us that you are a free-spirited bride with a fun-loving side. You want your wedding to be memorable, but not stuffy. You want a dress you can dance in, and you may pair it with boots. You want a fantastic party with friends and family with good music and good food to celebrate your love.

If you like: Mermaid dresses

A mermaid wedding gown is all about the glam. These dresses turn heads anywhere they’re seen, and we bet you do too! You are a confident bride who is proud of her love, her life, and her style. Your wedding will be dripping with sparkle and opulence, and your guests’ jaws will drop at the extravagant centerpieces, the dramatic flowers, and the beautiful bride!

If you like: Sheath dresses

You are not a bride prone to dramatics. Your wedding will be elegant and simple, just like your timeless style. You would rather have your wedding in an understated chateau or an art gallery. Like your style, your wedding will take plenty of planning to look this effortlessly chic. You are calm and collected, and you pull it off perfectly in a gorgeous, ivory sheath.
