Many little girls look with bated breath at pictures in fairy tale books, admiring the outfits of fairy-tale royal daughters and imagining themselves as princesses. And many people realize this childhood dream on their wedding day by choosing lush wedding dresses. This style is one of the most popular also because girls look charming in dresses with full skirts. Photos of wedding dress models allow you to verify this. The main features of dresses of this type are: a beautifully defined neckline, a thin waist and flowing skirts.
A little history
The first wedding dress with a full skirt to go down in fashion history belonged to Queen Victoria. The royal wedding took place in January 1840. Fashionistas liked the bride’s lush snow-white dress so much that many girls began to copy the “royal style.”
Since then, the fluffy dress has never gone out of fashion. Despite the fact that other styles periodically rose to the top of popularity, a wedding dress with a full skirt has remained popular for more than 150 years.
Why choose this style?
Why is this particular version of the dress so popular? Here are the main advantages of choosing:
- This outfit is formal, it is suitable only for special occasions , so the opportunity to show off in a magnificent dress does not arise often. If a girl is about to get married, she is unlikely to miss such a unique chance;
- a fluffy dress allows every girl to feel like a princess ;
- This style is a great way to show off your figure in the best possible light. Thanks to the cut, the silhouette takes on seductive shapes.
Who is it suitable for?
The best wedding dress is the one that suits the bride. Therefore, you cannot purchase an outfit for such a significant event thoughtlessly. Fluffy skirts and dresses will look good:
- on tall, slender girls, however, they are, as always, lucky, since with an ideal figure almost any style is suitable;
- For brides whose figure resembles a triangle, fluffy skirts will successfully disguise full hips, and a tight-fitting bodice will allow them to demonstrate a thin waist and fragile shoulders;
- Full skirts are suitable and in the case where the shoulders are wider than the hips, they will successfully balance the disproportionate figure.
You need to be careful when buying a fluffy dress:
- short brides, since such an outfit will visually reduce their height and make their figure more squat. Petite brides should give preference to dresses with an a-line silhouette; they will make them appear taller;
- This style is not very suitable for overweight brides. To look their best, they should choose dresses with a minimum of trim and only made of matte fabric with a smooth texture;
- girls with very small breasts do not wear a corset bodice, as it emphasizes the bust. To visually make the silhouette more harmonious, you should choose dresses with ruffles and flounces along the neckline.

Many designers are constantly looking for new creative solutions to improve wedding dresses, but at the same time, each of them at least once a season creates a unique and inimitable creative masterpiece, which can subsequently become a very popular outfit for a wedding celebration.
However, such dresses can only be made to order for very famous and famous people; such outfits are mainly made by the most successful and well-known fashion designers, and the cost of these outfits can be quite high.
It is worth noting that most designers have various techniques in their arsenal when creating unique and exclusive models of wedding dresses.
At the same time, they can use a wide variety of items (small coins, precious and semi-precious stones, feathers, etc.) that can add more elegance and originality to the outfit.
At the same time, the cost of one such exclusive outfit can be more than two thousand dollars, so very wealthy and wealthy people can afford such outfits.
Fabrics
Luxurious fluffy dresses are made from expensive and beautiful fabrics. When choosing, you need to adhere to the rule: the more complex the style of the outfit, the simpler the texture of the material should be. At the same time, simpler does not mean more unattractive. A satin or silk dress will look great. These materials drape wonderfully and look noble and stylish.
When choosing materials, it is worth considering the properties of fabrics, such as:
- satin will give the dress elegance and majesty;
- natural silk - will keep its shape well, and at the same time, it drapes perfectly;
- chiffon is a great option for flowy skirts;
- organza or tulle - will give the skirts the necessary pomp.
Often a combination of fabrics is used to sew wedding dresses. For example, a dress with a lace top and a chiffon skirt will look great. You can sew a dress entirely from lace fabric on a silk cover.
The bride can choose any color of fabric for sewing a wedding dress. Of course, the most popular option remains white and its shades. Snow-white dresses with bright trim look very impressive, for example, a white dress decorated with a wide scarlet belt with a lush bow.
Modern brides often choose fluffy dresses in pastel shades. And brave girls may prefer an outfit in a bright color, for example, fiery red.
When is a petticoat with rings required?
For an ideal appearance and ease of movement, every bride who chooses the look of a fairy-tale princess will need a petticoat with rings. The presence of fluffy crinolines provides the girl with an easy gait and ease of movement. The product will help highlight the chosen style of the outfit.
A number of girls prefer not to use the accessory, considering it an unnecessary, weighty design element. A negative effect is only possible if the element is selected incorrectly.
Today, a petticoat with flexible rings is very popular - it is a lightweight version of a classic accessory. When the bride moves, the product does not stand out and does not shine through the fabric. This version of the product will not prevent a girl from getting into a car, participating in competitions after an official ceremony, or dancing with her husband. The classic version of the crinoline with rigid rings provides the girl with free space and helps not to get entangled in the numerous layers of a lush wedding dress.
Accessories
It is very important to choose the right accessories for a fluffy dress so that the wedding look is complete and harmonious.
Shoes
A fluffy dress “requires” high-heeled shoes. The best option is classic pumps. But other shoes can also be used - sandals in summer or elegant boots in winter.
It is advisable to try on the dress in the shoes that the bride expects to wear at the wedding, so that you can adjust the length of the skirt.
It is recommended to buy shoes without decoration under a long fluffy dress, since the shoes will still not be visible. You need to choose shoes with a short dress very carefully: the shoes should perfectly match the color of the dress and have decor in the same style.
Decorations
If the dress has open shoulders or a deep neckline, then you should wear jewelry around the neck. You need to make sure that the decoration matches the style of the outfit. The ideal choice is pearls, but you can also buy a necklace with stones - with colorless ones or to match the color of the trim.
Make sure that the image is not overloaded with accessories. So, if the bride plans to wear large long earrings, then it is better to refuse jewelry on the neck. The necklace should not be worn even if the bodice is richly decorated with rhinestones. It’s better to limit yourself to a bracelet and earrings.
Veil
A traditional accessory for a bride is a veil. It symbolizes purity, femininity and grace. In addition, superstitious people believe that a veil is an excellent means of protection against the evil eye.
Volumetric flowers
Dresses with a three-dimensional effect will be at the peak of fashion in 2022. The hem or bodice can be decorated with voluminous flowers of various colors. In this dress you will resemble a fairy tale. However, you should be careful: if the bodice is decorated with flowers, this will give your appearance some heaviness. But on the lush hem there can be as many flowers as you like.

Advice! Just a few years ago, girls wanted to wear “all their best at once” to their wedding. This is especially true for jewelry: everyone has probably seen brides who, thanks to inexpensive jewelry, shine like Christmas trees. It is worth abandoning this “trend”: now laconic jewelry or fairly simple geometric jewelry is in fashion.
Flowers can be decorated with embroidery and beads. The main thing is that the dress looks stylish and does not resemble an old curtain
Hairstyle
The choice of veil largely depends on how you plan to style your hair. What hairstyle suits a lush wedding dress best?
Stylists recommend avoiding too voluminous and complex hairstyles. The best option is hair raised up and styled in a beautiful knot. You can decorate this hairstyle with a sparkling tiara. Various complex braids will also look good. Medium length hair can be styled in curls. A short haircut will simply need to be given additional volume and complemented with a wreath or tiara.
By hair length
Any length of curls is unique and beautiful in its own way, therefore, a special hairstyle is needed for each occasion.
Short:
- large curls with a hoop;
- bean;
- long bangs, tiara;
- pixie;
- a la Marilyn Monroe.

- lateral volumetric spikelet;
- curls on one side;
- in Greek style;
- babette;
- bun gathered up.
Long:

Advice! To complement the royal look, you can pay attention to wedding hairstyles with a crown.
Other accessories
One of the most important accessories is the bride's bouquet. Wedding arrangements can be created from a wide variety of colors, but it is important to remember that the accessory must match the dress. So, a bouquet for a fluffy dress should be small in size; it is better to include small flowers. The best bouquet shape is a semicircle. If you choose a dress with a train, then a bouquet in the “waterfall” style will look harmonious with it; in this composition, the flowers do not stretch up, but fall down. This version of the bouquet looks especially good in the hands of tall girls.
The bride can complement her look with a miniature handbag. As a rule, this is a textile product decorated with draperies, lace, embroidered with pearls and rhinestones. Of course, the decor of the handbag should be in harmony with the decor of the dress.
Fluffy wedding dresses are a choice worthy of a real princess. If the bride takes a responsible approach to the choice of style and accessories, then on her wedding day she will be the most beautiful and charming.
