Every bride is different—some want to make sure their wedding dress train is short and sweet, while others prefer the more dramatic and ethereal look of a long train. While it depends on the bride’s style, you may also want to consider location: indoor vs. outdoors, church vs. event space… you get the picture. Just make sure you choose your bridesmaids wisely, after all, it’s their job to keep your train looking flawless for pics!
1. Short & Sweet
The sweep train style is the shortest of the group. Barely gracing the ground, this train ensures that all eyes are on the bride, with little chance of a slip. This train style is ideal for a ceremony to reception dress!

3. Dreamy & Dramatic
The cathedral train is the longest and most dramatic of the 4. This type of train is ideal for a more formal wedding, or for the bride who wants to go big on her Big Day! Warning: this is where your BFFs come in, you’ll need a bit of assistance!

4. Windswept Watteau
Bring on the winds! The Watteau train is your quintessential destination wedding option. With a train that attaches to the top of your dress, you’ll look like a fairy gliding down the aisle. Bonus: you can remove the train for your reception!
