Choosing the Perfect Ball Gown Dress

While ball gown silhouettes are traditionally worn best by taller brides of hourglass, pear-shape, or rectangular figures, a variety of distinct cuts and unique design elements exist within ball gowns that cater well to all brides alike! Aspects such as princess seams, dropped, or basque waistlines effortlessly elongate the body making for a more statuesque appearance. Similarly, sweetheart and V-necklines expose the décolletage and frame the face. We recommend consulting with your personal bridal stylist to discover the best variation of the ball gown silhouette for you!

Fabrics and Details for Ball Gown Wedding Dresses

Whether you consider yourself timeless and traditional or you prefer an unforgettably glamorous look, there is a ball gown wedding dress for each and every bridal style.

Meticulously hand-sewn embroidery, beading, and sequins especially suit a princess-inspired ball gown look.

Ball Gown Dresses for Petite Brides

The ultra dramatic and voluminous nature of the ball gown silhouette may be physically and visually overwhelming for petite brides.

We recommend consulting with your personal bridal stylist to discover the ball gown wedding dress that equally showcases the beauty of the dress and the bride wearing it!
