At Chantal's, we understand that finding the perfect wedding gown is one of the most exciting parts of planning your big day. One key aspect to consider when choosing your dream dress is the silhouette. The shape of your gown can highlight your best features and reflect your personal style. Let's dive into some popular silhouettes to help you find "the one!”


Ball Gown
The ball gown is a classic choice for brides who dream of a fairy-tale wedding. With its fitted bodice and full skirt, this silhouette creates a stunning hourglass shape. Ideal for formal weddings, ball gowns are perfect for making a grand entrance. This style is flattering for most body types, especially pear-shaped and slender figures.
