Ahead are six elegant wedding dress styles from MyChicDress that may inspire your bridal look. Which one is your favorite?

Elegant Ballgown Wedding Dress

Ballgowns are a timeless classic that are impressive looking but elegant. If you have always dreamed of being a princess on your special day, then it is the best choice. The most prominent feature of a ballgown wedding dress is the fluffy skirt made in satin or tulle that adds a bit of magic and drama to the fit. There are many ballgown wedding dresses at MyChicDress like this exquisite number below. This sleeveless gown features spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline. The bodice is covered with lace appliques that cascade down the skirt for a romantic look.  

Elegant Mermaid Wedding Dress

The mermaid silhouette wedding dress is a simple and elegant dress that will stand the test of time. It brings timeless bridal glamour and is all about curves. Just like the mermaid sea creature, this bridal gown has its own tail. Thanks to the skirt, mermaid wedding gowns are fit and flare dresses that are fitted through the bodice, waist, and hips, while the skirt flares out at the end. This beautiful all-over lace mermaid dress below features a corset bodice and is supported by two thin spaghetti straps. This dress brings timeless bridal glamour with its sweetheart neckline and the skirt flares into a mermaid silhouette for the ultimate walk down the aisle. 

Elegant Sheath Wedding Dress

At a first glance, sheath wedding dresses may look similar to mermaid silhouette dresses. The difference is that a sheath dress allows more movement, while still fitted to the body. A special sophisticated flair is achieved with the help of a skirt that loosely falls straight. A sheath wedding dress is yet another classic for brides who prefer tradition to something unexpectedly risky. Sheath dresses are simple and embody a perfect mix between a minimalist and chic feel.  This lace sheath dress below features a V-neckline and open back.  

Elegant Long Sleeve Wedding Dress

One of the most elegant bridal dress details is long sleeves, especially if they are lace.  For the sophisticated bride who wants to show off a sexy side, this long sleeve wedding dress below is sleek, chic and modern. It is definitely a showstopper. Featuring a jewel neckline, this sheath long sleeve lace dress has a fitted skirt that shows off your shape.  

Asymmetrical Wedding Dress

Asymmetrical dresses are a popular wedding dress trend that does not seem to go away. At the recent Spring/Summer 2023 Bridal Fashion Week, the runways were filled with wedding dresses with high low hemline. This cute wedding dress below features a strapless sweetheart neckline and the organza skirt with high low hem gives a glimpse of the bare legs. 

Elegant Simple Wedding Dress

A simple and elegant wedding dress will stand the test of time. This wedding dress style brings timeless glamour and this off shoulder gown is an excellent example. Featuring a strapless sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice, this dress has draped sleeves adorned with crystal beadings and a lace up back. The A-line skirt flows to a full-length.
