Getting married is one of the important aspects of life. That is why couples prepare for this once in a lifetime event painstakingly to make a dream wedding turn into a reality. However, many women do not take their time to research about the different wedding dress styles that could flatter them best. Knowing the basics is as imperative as to know what you would like to wear at your wedding day. Dresses actually come in different styles, designs, colors, and shapes. Having an insufficient knowledge on this can waste a big chunk of your time while having a hard time picking the right the dress in a bridal boutique. So, to experience a worry-free wedding dress planning, here are some of the basic wedding gown styles available in the market today. Examples of the dress elements that you may consider include the dress neckline, bodice, shape, and sleeves.

A dress' neckline is one of the best ways to draw the attention of the people to your wedding dress and upper body as well. This is also useful during wedding photo shoots and close up shots, showing off your nice shoulders and neckline. Examples of the most popular wedding dress neckline include off-the-shoulder, bateau, asymmetrical, portrait, jewel or T-shirt, sweetheart, V-neck, scoop, halter, and strapless.

Many women prefer to style their dress with an off-shoulder neckline. This neckline sits below the bride's shoulders and collarbones. This is also considered as a universally flattering design than can really draw attention to the bride's shoulders and neck. A wedding dress with a portrait neckline is perfect for those who wish to show off their neck and collarbones while covering the bride's upper arms. Another most preferred style is the dress with a halter neckline, which has straps that wrap or tie behind the bride's neck. This features backless styles, creating an edgy and sexy appearance.

A dress with sleeves is created to protect the bride from any weather condition. Examples of the most common wedding dress with sleeves include cap, spaghetti straps, sleeveless, three-fourth sleeves, and t-shirt. Interestingly, T-shirt style seems universal, allowing many designers to incorporate this style to almost all kinds of wedding dresses. T-shirt sleeves provide the brides a feeling of comfort while having excellent upper arm coverage. This is perfect for women who are reluctant to show off their arms and a little of bare skin.

Wedding dress bodice covers the whole upper body of the gown which includes the neckline, sleeves, and the gown's skirt. Examples of the most popular wedding dress bodice include empire, halter, corset, drop waist, midriff, princess-line, surplice, and tank. You are most like familiar with a dress with a corset bodice, as this is mostly seen in historical movies. The tight fit bodice helps brides to push up their breasts, emphasizing your body curves, and create an illusion of a smaller waistline.
