Considered to be a trendy wedding dress, the trumpet wedding dress is designed for all body types, shapes, and personal styles. A classic design, the trumpet gown has proven to be a favourite when choosing an elegant or minimalist wedding dress.
Key Difference between Mermaid and Trumpet Wedding Dresses
So, what’s the difference between a mermaid and a trumpet wedding dress? Both styles are considered to be “fit-and-flare” style wedding dresses but have a few key differences in the design. A trumpet dress flares at the mid-hip area whereas a mermaid dress flares closer to the bottom around the knee area.
Why Trumpet Wedding Dresses Are a Popular Choice for Brides
Graceful Contours
To embrace the bride’s curves and unique silhouette, the trumpet style dress provides the form-fitting structure perfect for graceful contours. With the tailored style, this dress highlights the waistline, hips, butt, and bodice while giving a slimming appeal.
Versatility for Various Body Types
The versatility of this style extends to plus-size, petite, tall, and various body shapes. It is designed to flatter the body by accentuating the curves where need be while highlighting the beauty of the female body.
Timeless with a Twist
The distinctive design of the trumpet dress combines the glam look of Old Hollywood with modern femininity to pay homage to a timeless classic style. The bodice can be sleeveless, capped sleeves, or even strapless to accommodate the bride’s preference and style.
Personalized Embellishments
As a trumpet style wedding gown hugs the body, the style acts as a showpiece for elaborate beading, lace, or embroidery embellishments. The sleek design of the bodice and bottom allows for the smallest detail to be highlighted in a fashionable style.
Stunning Back Details
When choosing a trumpet wedding dress at a sale, consider the back design of the gown. As brides make their way down the aisle, all eyes will be drawn to the intricate button closure or open-back design.
Versatile Accessories
A delicate lace veil or sparkling tiara can be the focus of the entire ensemble. A minimalist design or a bustling skirt can be complemented with diamond or pearl stud earrings. Dainty or elaborate jewellery can be worn with any form of neckline.
