Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most exciting part of your wedding journey, not only does the fabric place a major role in your choice, the silhouette is also a major consideration (often the fabric contributes considerably to the overall silhouette, the two go hand in hand) At The Wedding Room, our experienced stylist helps brides explore a variety of wedding dress silhouettes to find the perfect match for your body shape, personality and wedding day vision.
A term you may hear regularly when visiting bridal boutiques, is the term A-line skirt. The A-line wedding dress silhouette is a classic choice that flatters almost every body shape. The term A-line wedding dress relates to the shape of the skirt, starting narrow at the waistline and flaring gradually to the hemline at the floor. Usually teamed with a fitted bodice this wedding dress silhouette is a timeless elegant look. A chiffon A-line wedding dress will give a narrower silhouette than a mikado A-line skirt due to the nature of the fabric. Chiffon skirts can often be gathered as the fabric doesn't add any bulk, whereas mikado wedding dresses tends to have pleated or flared skirts to give a smooth fit at the waist.

An A-line wedding dress can often give greater scope for a dramatic fuller train at the back of the dress too. If you dream of standing at the top of the aisle and request your photographer to capture that magical moment of saying your vows, having a train that is perfectly positioned is maybe one of the most significant moments of your wedding day, have your dress on full display at this moment.
