The train of the wedding dress: Do you know which one you are going to wear on your big day?

Deciding how the train of the wedding dress will be is essential and not only for aesthetic or protocol reasons. This element can completely change the impression produced by your wedding dress and also influences your freedom of movement. You have to think of everything!

When you are going to choose your wedding dress, the question of whether or not you want to wear a train and how it should be is not a minor detail. Custom dictates that the train should be somewhat shorter than the veil, so you should pay attention to the accessories and the design of the suit to achieve the final result you want.

Did you know that when trains began to be used in wedding dresses, it was a symbol of royalty and social status? At first the most chic thing was that the train was profusely decorated but luckily now there are many different patterns that go from the most theatrical to the simplest.

Swept tail for an easy look

The swept train is only slightly longer than the front of the bridal gown. Straight-cut wedding dresses, such as those in the empire style, are the ones that most often incorporate this kind of train. If you are getting married on the beach or looking for a wedding dress for a civil wedding that is elegant without being excessive, this is a great option.

The train in princess-style wedding dresses

Princess wedding dresses are the most spectacular so it is not surprising that the train must also be something great. The docktail, for example, is beautiful and traditional. It usually comes out from the waist and can be up to a meter long, so you will need help to sit in the car or walk down the aisle without tripping.

Are you going to throw the house out the window at your wedding? Go for a five-foot chapel train or a towering cathedral train that can be as long as eight feet. That, yes, the cathedral train is only suitable if the place of the ceremony is spacious enough so that its length can be displayed in all its splendor. 

Detachable trains for two-in-one wedding dresses

Wearing a dress during the ceremony and another at the reception is very trendy. If that is your idea, you will surely love the wedding dresses with detachable train that will allow you to combine two different styles and fully enjoy every moment of your wedding. 

As you have seen, there are various designs available when it comes to choosing how you would like the train of the wedding dress to be. Request for an appointment at Franc Sarabia and let yourself be advised by our fashion experts!
