A wedding dress style guide for tall brides

At WED2B we know our brides come in all shapes and sizes. So if you’re lucky enough to be a little taller than average here are our top tips to help you find a wedding dress style to suit both your look and your stature.

Balance your figure

Choose wedding dresses that create shape where it’s most flattering. Elegant mermaid styles with princess seams are great for those blessed with height as they define the waist and skim the hips falling perfectly to the floor.

Draw the eye up the body

Detailing on the bodice such as glittering beads and embroidery, will draw people’s eyes up and away from the length of the dress.

Layer up with Amixi accessories

Layers will add interest and shape to a long body. A sparkling Amixi belt, demure jacket or dramatic veil can be added to any dress to transform your look during the day and taken off at night.

Tiers of joy Tiered dresses look gorgeous on tall women, providing extra shape and depth to your bridal outfit – ruffles, ruching, feathers and frills all work beautifully! Not one but two tones Tall brides can work a two-tone wedding dress brilliantly! So match a classic wedding tone with a touch of colour to coordinate with your bridesmaids, groom or wedding theme.
