Lush wedding dresses: chic models with photos, how to choose the most beautiful

Distinctive features

A wedding dress with a full skirt is suitable for a formal ceremony in a formal style. In this case, a bodice with a V-neckline and long sleeves would be appropriate. To avoid looking too formal, you can choose an open bodice and wear long gloves.

What else is special about fluffy dresses:

skirts are given volume using a metal frame or layers of fabric;
A-line models are suitable for any figure;
due to the decor of the bodice and fluffy skirt, you can emphasize the chest, waist, and add volume to the hips;
You can choose a train of any length for the dress.

Fluffy wedding dresses look graceful, elegant and help create chic looks. Satin, organza, tulle, taffeta, and chiffon are used for skirts. The top is decorated with beads and lace.

Features and Disadvantages

Lush bridal outfits began to be in high demand and have firmly taken their place in fashion history since the Renaissance. The time when curvaceous female forms were considered the ideal of beauty allowed the outfit to rise to the peak of popularity. The style made it possible to emphasize the features of the figure and visually increase the volume. The most magnificent wedding dress in the world was the dress of Princess Diana, which she showed at her wedding ceremony in 1981. The image has passed through the centuries and remains attractive today. In the 21st century, the main features when choosing a lush wedding dress remain the girl’s figure:

The outfit is the perfect choice for a classic ceremony.
Brides with short stature should avoid overly voluminous skirts. The dress may upset the proportions of the body. Women with large busts face a similar problem.
For those with broad shoulders and narrow hips, the outfit will highlight your strengths and hide your flaws and will be the best choice.
Too much volume can visually increase body weight.
When choosing, it is important to pay attention to details; an excess of them will make the bride look fuller.
Allows you to give up high heels and wear comfortable shoes - hiding your legs.
The location of the ceremony must be taken into account. Not every crinoline will fit through a narrow doorway.
After a walk, the hem of the outfit will definitely get dirty; you will need helpers and wet wipes for cleaning.

Even the most beautiful lush wedding dresses have disadvantages:

Storage. The outfit takes up a lot of space and can hardly fit into the closet, creating a lack of space.
A voluminous outfit restricts the bride’s movements and creates inconvenience in movement. Getting into the back seat of a car without assistance will be difficult. After the official part of the event and the photo shoot, it will be extremely uncomfortable to continue the celebration in the restaurant - dancing or actively moving in such a dress is problematic.
The heavy weight of festive clothes creates additional difficulties for the bride and makes her less mobile.
Outside help will be required. Straightening crinolines on your own is problematic.

Who is it suitable for?

Fluffy A-line dresses are the most versatile. Girls with body types should especially take a closer look at them:

pear - wide hips, narrow shoulders;
triangle - shoulders wider than hips;
rectangle - straight waist.

A voluminous skirt and a sophisticatedly decorated bodice will highlight the chest of a pear-shaped figure and divert attention from the hips. A more restrained top and full draped bottom will give a broad-shouldered figure a feminine hourglass shape. To highlight your waist, you can try on a fluffy dress with a fashionable high waist and a corset.

Petite girls should not get carried away with overly voluminous crinolines. Such dresses look more natural if you are tall.

A full skirt can flatter girls with large breasts by adding a wide bottom to a voluminous top. Also, girls with a full figure should not overuse ruffles, frills and appliques, but pay attention to flowing styles.

Fluffy maternity dresses

Pregnancy is the best time in every girl's life. But now the wardrobe has to be updated. In this situation, women still want to remain sexy, stylish, feminine, which is why they buy dresses. But choosing a product becomes a little harder.

First of all, the girl should be comfortable; the dress should not be too restrictive or oppressive. It should fit your figure and be comfortable. For pregnant girls, fluffy dresses are not taboo. It is this style that allows you to hide all the nuances of your figure. Such models add romance, tenderness, and femininity to the image.

When choosing a fluffy dress, you shouldn’t go overboard with accessories. If the dress is rich in ruffles, bows and other decor, then the figure will become overly massive. If the girl’s figure is neat and her shoulders are not massive, then fluffy sleeveless dresses are suitable. Such dresses often have a corset. In order not to harm the baby’s health, do not tighten it too much.

Short dresses also look chic on pregnant girls if the girl’s figure is ideal. The advantage of the product is its low weight. Pay attention to dresses with a seam waist. The fluffy bottom of the skirt is usually achieved with the help of flounces. Also, high-waisted shirt dresses are suitable for pregnant girls. As for color, there are no restrictions. Choose based on skin, eye and hair color.

Modern tendencies

Dresses with a frame skirt fade into the background. The rings need to be adjusted to stand or sit. During a wedding reception, it is inconvenient to be distracted by the dress. You can choose a model with a frame for an official ceremony and photo shoot, and then change into a dress with a soft skirt:

with inserts made of dense folds from the waist;
horizontal circular ruffles;
draped flare with frills;
with lush folds made of transparent material;
from several layers of dense and mesh fabric.

The most memorable ones for prom

Dresses sewn in a classic cut do not lose their relevance. Pastel colors are also still relevant. Kitsch, which is also considered vulgar, is still irrelevant. To make a girl look stylish, it is important to know about the latest in the fashion world. But you can see how a Greek-style dress for prom will look in the photo in this article.

Carolina Herrera presented a collection at New York Fashion Week this year. The image turned out to be quite sweet and gentle. At first glance, it seems that the dress looks like a nightgown. The organza chosen is a soft pink color. The white silk is decorated with very organic embroidery. This embroidery is similar to bird feathers. This decoration allows you to add freshness to the outfit, the girl will look younger. This outfit is perfect for prom.

Oscar de la Renta - the fashion designer offers a rather risky image. But at the same time the toilet turns out to be very elegant. The dress consists of several layers, while asymmetry is maintained. Several layers are placed asymmetrically on top of the dress. Red carnations are hidden on a white background. The neckline is decorated with beautiful black lace and the arms and shoulders are open. This model is more reminiscent of a Spanish outfit.

Antonio Berardi proposed a prom dress at London Fashion Week. The dress can be called a light cloud. The dress resembles the usual style of clothing that girls from Britain prefer. The dress model is quite relaxed, but at the same time slightly restrained. There are no sleeves in the dress, and the playful hem attracts attention. The dress is also called a light cloud. In such an outfit you can say about a good end to your school years. But you can see what light summer dresses made of chiffon look like in the photo in this article.

Blumarine offers a rather relaxed and at the same time closed dress. No unnecessary elements. The top of the outfit is quite simple: long sleeves and a semicircle neckline. The legs are coquettishly covered with translucent fabric, decorated with translucent embroidery. Anna Molinari offers a simple and clean look.

Photo of a prom dress from Blumarine:

Salvatore Ferragamo - a dress in a beautiful blue or even blue color. This color has not lost its relevance for several seasons. Open shoulders and arms are perfect for this dress. The waistline is emphasized by a wide belt going down. The dress goes to the floor, at the bottom it is made in the form of a small bell.

Popular styles

Fluffy wedding dresses differ not only in the trim of the skirts. They are complemented by beautiful open and closed bodices with a neckline and curly cutouts. The styles differ in the length and design of the sleeves, types and length of trains:

classic - a long floor-length skirt that covers shoes;
asymmetrical - a sharp oblique cut of the hem, turning into a train, a diagonal cut of the skirt and a bodice with one-shoulder sleeves;
with a train - a convenient detachable part;
with a corset - they narrow the waist, elevate the chest;
with double length - the hem is short in front and lengthens in the back, revealing the legs;
with a two-level hem - in some models the underskirt is unfastened; with a slight movement of the hand, a formal dress for the ceremony turns into a daring outfit for a party.

The styles of bodices also differ:

open, moderately open, closed;
with long, short and short sleeves;
sleeve shapes - bell, straight-fitting, solid, lace, flared at the wrist.

Skirts and bodices are decorated with lace, rhinestones, and embroidery.

Decor of outfits

The style in question would not be so popular if all its variety were limited only to open and closed tops.

Nowadays, dresses have begun to be decorated with various elements, which can also be combined with each other. Every year, fashion designers offer new ideas to make everyone look like a real princess and at the same time maintain her individuality.

Lace

Lace is considered the most exquisite addition to the decoration of a wedding dress - incredibly delicate and romantic. This luxurious openwork material usually adorns the top, such as the sleeves, bodice or back, but sometimes also the skirt itself.

With a train at the back

Another chic detail in long ball gowns is the train; it looks very stylish in curvy models. The graceful hem can be embroidered with all kinds of stones or interesting embroidery; with it you will definitely make a real splash.

Applications

This is a decor that is sewn onto an outfit, in the form of an image consisting of one or more elements:

Nuances of color choice

A modern wedding dress looks spectacular in pink and red tones. Two-tone is also in fashion.

Popular colors for wedding dresses:

soft powdery;
white bodice with blue skirt;
beige;
ashen;
lactic;
violet-blue;
pastel;
with large floral print.

The background for the drawing is chosen to be light - white, cream, ivory. And the flowers can be red, purple, black - it depends on the imagination and character of the bride.

A white dress remains traditional for weddings.

When choosing a color, you need to take into account its correspondence to the moment of the holiday. For example, for an official ceremony a dress in white, pastel or beige is suitable, but for a festive banquet you can choose a more extravagant and shocking outfit.

Features of such models

The pomp of a dress depends on two components: the crinoline and the petticoat. Crinoline is a wide skirt with several hoops that add volume to the outfit. The crinoline came into wedding fashion from the wardrobe of fashionistas of the first half of the 19th century. Unlike petticoats, this comfortable design allows air to pass through and prevents the skin from sweating, so the bride will feel comfortable even in the hottest weather.

There are curvy models that do not have crinoline. They don’t look as luxurious and impressive, but the image turns out to be light and romantic. In such an outfit, it will be easier for the girl to move around, she will not trip over hoops and will not ruin the ceremony by accidentally falling.

Today, wedding dresses that leave the girl's shoulders bare are in fashion. The thin waist is favorably emphasized by the corset, and the voluminous skirt hides all the imperfections of the figure. Wearing such an outfit, the girl becomes like a swan swimming among the guests. Since the skirt completely covers her legs, the bride's movements seem magical - as if she is not touching the ground at all.

Although white wedding dresses still remain the leader in popularity, other shades have also come into fashion. Blue, cream, pink, red and even black - the modern bride can find a magnificent outfit to suit every taste. As a rule, the fabric is decorated with embroidery, beads and lace, but there are also strict models with a minimal amount of decoration.

Typically, skirts are made from translucent materials - guipure, organza, chiffon. Sometimes silk is used - such a dress will cost more, but the noble flowing fabric looks luxurious and elegant. A cheaper, but no less beautiful option is satin material.

IMPORTANT: Lush dresses are ideal for tall and slender brides. They make plump girls look great. But if you are petite in stature, it is better to avoid such models - a short bride risks drowning in a dress that is too voluminous.

Selection of decorative elements

How to decorate lush wedding dresses:

handmade lace;
guipure inserts;
openwork ribbons;
multi-level inserts of frills, flounces, ruffles;
embroidery made of silver and gold threads;
voluminous embroidered appliqués;
artificial flowers of different sizes and colors.

Dresses are also decorated with clasps, sequins, rhinestones, mother-of-pearl buttons, beads, pearls, semi-precious and precious stones.

To decorate the waist, a ribbon is inserted into the belt and tied with a bow.

Transparent top

Quite often, fluffy dresses look quite bulky. Fortunately, in 2021, designers managed to solve this small problem. The fluffy skirt goes well with the bodice, which is made of transparent fabric. Of course, the fabric should have opaque inserts or embroidery that will cover anything that needs to be hidden. Let's assume the so-called tattoo effect, when drawings are applied to transparent fabric that seem to be drawn directly on the skin. Of course, this option is only suitable for brave girls who are not afraid to show off their figure.

Of course, the fabric should have opaque inserts or embroideries that will cover everything that needs to be hidden

This option is suitable only for brave girls who are not afraid to show off their figure.

Here are some bold ideas:

a dress, the top of which is made of transparent fabric in a nude shade with embroidered patterns;
transparent bodice embroidered with rhinestones or sequins;
transparent bodice with tight sleeves.

Advice! If you have chosen a model with a tight-fitting top made of fairly light fabric, you should pay special attention to your underwear. After all, the wrong bra will cut into your body, creating a rather unattractive effect that can ruin your wedding photos. Pay attention to models that do not have straps or clasps.

Review of some models and styles

There are several styles in which a full skirt looks the most interesting.

Transparent top

Dress Features:

a translucent bodice with openwork embroidery creates the effect of a lace tattoo on a naked body;
a flesh-colored lining is sewn under the thin organza;
The guipure bodice is complemented with brocade, satin, and silk sleeves. Patterns of rhinestones are applied on top.

The closed cut, alternation of transparent and hidden details with embroidery creates an ambiguity of the image, which is not suitable for a church ceremony. But at a secular ceremony, a dress with a translucent bodice will look elegant.

Princess style

The Disney Princess inspired wedding dress features a fitted bodice and a cloud skirt. The top is decorated with puffy short and long sleeves, trimmed with frills and embroidery. Skirts made of tulle, chiffon, and organza softly and smoothly repeat the movements during the dance.

The princess's look will be complemented by a hairstyle with romantic curls, decorated with a ribbon, a tiara, and short lace gloves. A long neck will be emphasized by a V-shaped neckline, a thin chain with a small pendant or a string of pearls.

Vintage retro look

Character traits:

midi length, to mid-calf;
laconic cut;
hem falling in elegant folds;
tiered skirt with shorter top layers;
wide belt with a bow on the front, side or back;
The bodice is often closed, without a neckline.

A closed guipure top, often with a stand-up collar, enhances the low, tight bodice that ends in the middle of the forearms.

Silk embroidery, pearls and rhinestones compensate for the modesty of the style.

White high-heeled pumps are paired with a retro-style wedding dress. Vintage style accessories - pillbox hats with a veil, clutch bags, mini-handbags.

Without rings

Volume is created using drapery with large vertical or horizontal folds and layering. At the same time, it is comfortable to sit and dance in a skirt. The hem can be decorated with a train. Fluffy skirts without rings look beautiful in combination with a corset bodice.

With rhinestones and train

Rhinestones add aristocracy to the dress. A thin train radiating from the waist, decorated with shiny stones and embroidery, creates an aura of royal luxury around the bride.

Transformer

A two-in-one dress with a detachable skirt is a fashion trend. The removable hem is held in place by buttons and hidden hooks.

The advantage of a transforming model is the quick change from a classic style to a cocktail one. It’s hard to dance fiery disco in multi-layered drapery. And in a two-in-one dress after the first wedding dance, you can lose excess weight, surprising your guests and husband.

The main thing is to check the reliability of the fasteners before leaving, so that there is no embarrassment during the ceremony.

Just like in the old days

The dress imitates 18th century wedding fashion:

closed chest, neck and arms;
floor skirt;
gloves;
long veil, train.

At that time, the bride’s outfit reflected the financial situation of her family, so it was made from expensive fabrics - corduroy, velvet, silk. Dresses were decorated with precious stones - rubies, sapphires, and embroidered with gold and silver.

TOP 3 most magnificent dresses

Celebrity wedding dresses sometimes cost up to a million dollars. The most famous fashion designers are working on the design, and the fabric itself is decorated with diamonds, pearls and rhinestones. Although stars often choose extravagant and extraordinary models, the majority still prefer classic fluffy dresses.

Princess Diana's outfit. This dress has become a real legend: it took 137 meters of fabric to create! It amazed with its elegance and sophistication, worthy of a royal family.
Nicole Richie's outfit. It took 91 meters of silk to create this amazing dress, but Nicole was truly irresistible in this costume!
Anne Hathaway dress. At her wedding, the famous actress wore an outfit that seemed completely weightless and airy. Light pinkish fabric, long veil, fluffy skirts - the bride in it was like a cloud.

Don’t think that extraordinary and bold wedding suits are replacing classic crinoline dresses. Any girl wants to be a queen at a wedding, and a queen vitally needs an outfit that will impress guests with its splendor and luxury!

Features of choosing a hairstyle

A voluminous hairstyle is needed for a fluffy dress:

Highly picked hair balances the figure;
under a dress made of shiny satin or with rhinestones, choose a shiny hair decoration;
For dresses made of matte fabric, the hairstyle is decorated without shine - with ribbons, flowers;
chiffon is combined with careless braids;
long hair can be styled in a high ponytail;
Shells and babettes look aristocratic on long hair.

A hat looks good on hair of any length. Under it, you can put your hair on a side parting, in a low bun.

Peculiarities

The search for the truth regarding the designation of the most beautiful outfit does not lead to a consensus. One thing is unshakable - the image should amaze, surprise, and lead to a state of euphoria. A bride, when choosing a dress for a celebration, always considers it the most beautiful in the world.

There are features that determine the level of beauty and uniqueness of wedding decoration:

materials, fabrics, decorative elements;
style, cut, cut;
brand;
price;
compliance with the image, figure, theme of the holiday;
exclusivity.

How to choose the right accessories

In addition to the dress and bouquet, the bride needs other important items that will complete the look.

Veil

The traditional attribute of the bride's outfit is:

long - a translucent veil completely covers the face, neck and reaches the chest;
medium - covers the face up to the chin, to comply with traditions at an official ceremony, or is worn as a decoration in the hairstyle;
short - a symbolic veil-veil, in the form of a mesh on a hat in a retro look.

A veil with rhinestones and embroidery is in harmony with a full skirt.

Shoes

If you are going to spend a happy wedding day in one pair of shoes, it is better to choose comfortable pumps with medium or low heels. When changing your outfit, you can also change your shoes. Shoes should be matched to the color of the dress or a similar shade.

Clutch

Usually the bride holds a wedding bouquet in her hands. But in order to fully maintain the image of a princess or in retro style, you can take a clutch handbag. And choose a bouquet from those that are put on your hand.

Hair decorations

The hairstyle is decorated with a tiara, wreath, hoop, and wide ribbon. Hair is secured with hairpins, decorative pins, and combs.

A hat, veil, and net are also attached to the hair and add stylistic completeness to the look.

What to wear with a dress with a full skirt?

When creating an evening look, stylists do not recommend experimenting with the style of minor details for the outfit. The classic solution will be a win-win. However, in everyday looks, unusual polar ensembles are very welcome. And the answer to what to wear with a voluminous feminine wardrobe depends on the length of the product:

Short models
. To emphasize slender legs, you can choose a high heel, moving away from the classics, for example, in combination with a platform. For urban ensembles, your favorite sneakers and a denim jacket are perfect.

Examples of images

Fluffy wedding dresses are suitable for any age:

A classic fluffy wedding dress is always relevant, emphasizes the dignity of the figure and allows the bride to feel like a real princess.

Shuttlecocks

In 2021, designers are proposing to abandon traditional framed skirts, which cause brides a lot of inconvenience. Many outfits with lush multi-layered flounces appeared on the catwalks. Such options look very unusual and airy, especially if the flounces are made from fabrics with different textures. For example, a dress that combines silk and organza will be very beautiful. Due to the contrast between transparent and thick fabric, the outfit looks dynamic and incredibly creative.

Particularly interesting are wedding dresses with flounces, the skirt of which has an asymmetrical cut. For example, a skirt can be shortened in the front to show off your slender legs. A dress with flounces can resemble a mermaid dress in silhouette: if the top of the skirt looks smooth and the flounces widen downwards, you will look like Andersen's heroine who came ashore to meet her prince.

Advice! If you have chosen a dress made of textured material, decorated with embroidery, and decided to open your legs, choose smooth tights without embroidery or patterns. Otherwise, your outfit will turn out to be too overloaded with details and you will not be able to create a holistic, harmonious image.

Shortened models

Do you think that a wedding dress does not have to be long? Then you will love shortened options with a full skirt! Such dresses can be quite elegant and beautiful: the main thing is to choose the right style. Models with layered midi skirts or skirts that look like tutus look very cute. By the way, the latest trend has not gone out of fashion for many years.

A midi dress is suitable for short girls with a fragile figure: it will further emphasize their grace and petiteness, referencing the fashionable baby-dollar style

True, it is important not to overdo it so as not to resemble a ballerina. A tutu skirt goes well with spiked stilettos, long gloves and voluminous curls. You should avoid the bun hairstyle: it will be too blatantly quoting the “ballet” theme.

If you put on a dress and realize that it’s the one, don’t hesitate! Fashion nowadays is quite democratic, so we can say that what you like is fashionable!

Femme Fatale: Blacker Than Black

Do you feel like a rebel and don't want to follow established traditions? Then why not choose a fluffy black wedding dress? By the way, this trend goes well with the fashion for transformable dresses: in combination with a small black low-necked dress, a flowing train will look simply magnificent and unusual. Eccentric brides will love black dresses with an asymmetrical hem: this is exactly what British fashion trendsetter Vera Wang presented at her latest show. It is worth noting that in her wedding dress collections there are options that combine black and white colors: pay attention to this unusual idea.

Eternal retro

Retro and vintage styles have not gone out of fashion for many years. These ideas can easily be used in your wedding attire. For example, you can choose a dress with a smooth floor-length skirt and a top that resembles a schoolgirl's blouse: a stand-up collar and a row of small mother-of-pearl buttons will create an innocent, charming look that will allow you to stand out from other brides. Simple pumps and a small clutch will help complete the outfit.

Mid-century silhouettes are back in fashion

Advice! If you choose an outfit with a full skirt, keep your hairstyle fairly sleek. Lush high hairstyles have long gone out of fashion: they look too pretentious and do not decorate young girls walking down the aisle. A slightly tousled braid, a Greek hairstyle or even loose curls will look much more appropriate.
