The golden rule for turning heads and looking absolutely stunning on the most important day of your life—a day you’ve been dreaming of for years—is to choose a wedding dress that suits your body shape. In this article, we’ve put together a guide to help you identify your body shape, understand what to conceal and what to highlight, and discover which style of wedding dress will help you achieve that flawless look.

Choosing a Wedding Dress for an Apple-Shaped Figure

Women with an apple-shaped figure have broad shoulders, a slight curve at the waist, hips that are the same width as their waist, and slender legs. If you have this body shape, V-neck, deep-neckline, and A-line wedding dresses would be the ideal choice for you. You should definitely avoid designs with a crew neck, halter neck, or high neck.

Choosing a Wedding Dress for an Hourglass Figure

Women with an hourglass figure have broad shoulders and hips, with a waist that is in proportion to the width of their shoulders and is slender. If you have this type of hourglass figure, mermaid-style wedding dresses are as if they were designed especially for you. Choosing a dress in this style will ensure you look absolutely stunning on your happiest day.

Choosing a Wedding Dress for a Pear-Shaped Body Type

Women with a pear-shaped body type have narrow shoulders, a slim waist and a wide hip area. Brides with a pear-shaped figure can opt for A-line or princess-style dresses that accentuate their slim waist and conceal the hip area. You could also try boat-neck styles to achieve a balanced proportion between the hips and shoulders.

Choosing a Wedding Dress for a Rectangular Body Shape

Those with a rectangular body shape have balanced proportions between shoulders and hips, with long arms, legs and a tall stature. As waist curves are minimal, brides with this body shape may opt for straight-cut styles.
