When it comes to wedding dress shopping, one of the top questions brides ask is:
“How do I know which bridal style looks best on me?”
At MB Bride in Greensburg, PA, we hear this every day—and we’re here to help! Whether you’ve been dreaming about your wedding dress since childhood or you’re just starting your search, finding the right silhouette for your body and personal style can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry—we’ve got tips, expert advice, and a showroom full of gowns to help you say “yes” to the perfect dress.
Understand Your Body Shape
While every bride is unique, understanding your body shape can help guide your dress search. Here are a few common shapes and styles that flatter each:
- Hourglass – Look for fit-and-flare or mermaid gowns that show off your curves.
- Pear-Shaped – A-line dresses help balance your proportions beautifully.
- Athletic or Rectangular – Add softness with ball gowns, ruching, or feminine details.
- Apple-Shaped – Empire waistlines and soft fabrics offer comfort and elegance.
Remember, these are guidelines—not rules. The best dress is the one that makes you feel confident, beautiful, and you.
Try On Different Silhouettes
One of the best things you can do is try on a variety of styles—even ones you didn’t expect to love. Brides are often surprised when they fall for a silhouette they never considered.
When you visit MB Bride, our experienced consultants will help you explore options, offer suggestions, and guide you through styles you may not have thought of. Our goal is to help you discover your look.
