Regal Wedding Dresses

Regal wedding dresses can be identified by their luxurious appeal, impeccable craftsmanship, and breathtakingly grand appearance. Chic, elegant, and often understated, clean lines and continuity are typically defining features. Their cathedral-length trains are also an iconic element of a royal wedding-worthy bridal look. The accessories are equally important. From cathedral-length veils to blushers and crowns, these pieces undoubtedly complete the look.

More structured and polished fabrics typically accompany regal wedding gowns. Due to their impeccable craftsmanship and luxurious appeal, the quality of the materials are of the utmost importance. Clean, streamline fabrics, such as satin or silk mikado, are widely adored while traditional laces, like Chantilly or Alençon, are also striking.

While a variety of silhouettes can be discovered within our assortment of regal wedding dresses, ball gowns evoke a quintessentially regal look due to their stately presence and classic beauty. More figure-hugging silhouettes can also convey a regal aesthetic with their elegant and statuesque appearance. We recommend consulting with your personal bridal stylist to discover the silhouette that best aligns with your body type and desired vision. To further guide you, here are some tips to help you discover the best regal wedding dress for your body type: 

Pear-Shaped Brides: If you have a narrower upper body and fuller hips and thighs, consider an A-line or ball gown silhouette. These styles accentuate the waist while providing balance to the lower body.

Hourglass Brides: For those with well-defined and balanced curves, wedding dresses that cinch at the waist and follow close to the body, such as mermaids and trumpets, are ideal.

Apple-Shaped Brides: For brides who have a fuller upper body and a more narrow lower body, consider an A-line or modified A-line silhouette. These shapes provide balance and effortlessly elongate the body.

Rectangle-Shaped Brides: This body type typically features a narrow frame where the bust, waist, and hip are all equal in size and proportions. Opt for a sheath or column gown as it accentuates the long and lean stature.

Petite Brides: Brides with a shorter stature may want to consider simpler designs with delicate or minimal embellishments. A sheath or soft A-line silhouette elongates the body while open necklines, such as strapless or V-necklines, further lengthen the overall frame.

Plus-Size Brides: Fit-and-flare, A-line, and ball gown silhouettes are stunning choices for plus-size brides. Details that accentuate and cinch the body, such as corsets and ruching, are ideal for providing physical comfort and visual definition.

While these tips offer a starting point, we believe the most crucial factor is how the dress makes you feel!
