Many brides are surprised by which dress styles suit them best. Often, a style you’ve never considered could turn out to be your dream dress. Don’t limit yourself to traditional or trending styles; instead, try a variety of shapes and silhouettes. Whether it’s a dramatic ball gown, a sleek sheath dress, or a whimsical mermaid style, exploring your options widely will help ensure you find the gown that feels just right.
