The Best Wedding Dress For You Based On Your Zodiac Sign
When it comes to choosing the best wedding dress for you, there are dozens of factors to consider. You have to think about style, cut, fabric, and detailing like beads, prints, or embroidery. According to Southern Living, understanding your day-to-day style is a great first step to finding the dress of your dreams. But believe it or not, knowing the personality traits and preferences of your zodiac sign can also guide you in the right direction. Vogue contributor Ben Evans notes that a person's astrological style "is a way to place oneself within the universe, while projecting an aspect of personal identity."
Your wedding dress is, arguably, one of the most important pieces of clothing you will ever wear. But with such a baffling number of options, it can be difficult for even the most decisive of brides to know what will be best for her big day (via BBC). To help guide you toward your dream dress, we're breaking down the best styles and silhouettes for each of the 12 zodiac signs.
Bold and daring styles suit Aries
An Aries bride is bold, confident, and adventurous. The AstroTwins would describe you as the leader of the zodiac group, which makes you naturally fearless and passionate (via Astrostyle). You also have a penchant for taking fashion risks. That means a sweet and simple wedding dress isn't going to cut it. The best wedding dress for an Aries will have a plunging neckline to feed your inner daredevil, a figure-hugging silhouette, and a healthy dose of eye-catching sparkle.
Taurus loves timeless luxury
Taureans may be practical and level-headed, but they also have a luxurious side. However, when choosing your wedding dress, you aren't concerned with labels as much as quality, comfort, and timeless beauty. According to The Zodiac Style, the signature style of a Taurus is subtle but feminine, with a desire to show off the throat and shoulders. Consider a silk, off-the-shoulder wedding dress in a classic A-line silhouette to achieve that timeless look you long for. If you're still unsure where to start, think of old Hollywood glamour.
Gemini gets the best of both worlds
Gemini brides want a wedding dress that their family and friends will be talking about long after the DJ has packed up his speakers. However, it's normal for you to be a bit indecisive (via Co-Star). Part of you longs for something regal and princess-like with your other half wants something daring and modern. To get the best of both worlds, try a wedding gown with a detachable skirt. Wow your guests by wearing a stunning ball gown at the ceremony, and knock their socks off again at the reception when you return in a mini skirt.
Cancer favors the classics
Traditional wedding dress styles with vintage or antique elements are perfect for a Cancer bride. As a sign ruled by the moon, you are emotional, nurturing, and nostalgic (via Horoscope). You are drawn to sentimental pieces and classic dress styles that evoke joyful feelings of family and friendship. If you aren't already planning to wear your mother or grandmother's dress, look for something with a sweetheart neckline and delicate pearl detailing.
Leos showcase their flair for the dramatic
Astrologer Lisa Stardust explained to Today that Leos have a natural dramatic flair, are self-assured, and love being the center of attention. As a result, Leo brides require a voluminous dress with loads of sparkle and shine. If you are a Leo, look for full ball gowns with layers of tulle, plunging necklines, or an open back to provide the perfect amount of drama and elegance. A combination of all three will make sure all eyes are on you on your big day, as they should be.
Refined simplicity is what Virgos choose
Despite their modesty and penchant for perfection, harmonious Virgos are one of the most stylish of the zodiac signs. You adore bespoke accessories with nature vibes, goddess-like cuts that show off your figure, and refined simplicity. When shopping for your wedding dress, keep an eye out for flowing fabrics like chiffon and simple but flattering designs that showcase your natural beauty. As stylist Mecca James-Williams explained to Fashionista, Virgos are a sign that will receive all of the luxuries of life and can adapt to changing trends and seasons. That being said, they know what they want and consistently achieve effortless glamour.
Libras should embrace color
Libra brides are romantic and flirtatious trendsetters that take their partner's vision into account when buying their wedding dress. According to the New York Post, you are an expert at finding the perfect balance between classic romance and figure-hugging styles that show off your breasts and butt. Mermaid-style dresses with trendy floral patterns are a perfect blend of classic and modern. Pair your dress with natural makeup in shades of blush and rosy pink to emphasize your natural beauty.
Scorpios will turn heads in black
Everyone knows a Scorpio bride is all about out-of-the-box dresses in dark colors that have a magnetic, sensuous energy. You are unafraid to try something new or unexpected in order to make a statement, like a stunning black dress with sleek, sultry cuts. Furthermore, Scorpios are committed to styles that make them happy, even if others are afraid of their emotional intensity (via Astrology Matters). As a Scorpio, you are also incredibly imaginative, which means you are able to accessorize whatever dramatic dress you choose.
Sagittarius is a true boho bride
The Sagittarius bride is a free spirit through and through. According to Stitch Fix, you have a wonderful sense of humor and aren't super fussy about your clothing or makeup. Despite this, you are always polished without being stuffy and adore bold colors that reflect your inner self. It is a good idea to select a wedding dress that combines your love of travel and adventure with a dynamic silhouette that will get people talking. Lace, sparkle, and a stunning bouquet are all excellent accessories to go along with your wedding wanderlust style.
Capricorns can rock a jumpsuit
Astrologer Lisa Stardust noted in InStyle that Capricorn brides prefer a more classic and reserved style with vintage elements like "flowing bell sleeves," accents of lace, or a corset with visible boning. As a Capricorn, you are likely highly sophisticated when it comes to fashion, but you don't ever sacrifice trends for comfort. Your practical streak and desire to efficiently move around also make a wedding jumpsuit a great choice. Pair it with a stylish pair of heels and statement jewelry for a look that your partner (and wedding guests) will never forget.
Pastels are a dream come true for Aquarius
Aquarians are forward-thinking people that love to think outside of the box. Modest but creative, thoughtful but quirky, you love to be trendsetters, and don't shy away from rebelliousness (via Stitch Fix). However, what you aren't big on are prints and bold colors. Traditional wedding dress styles in pastel shades of blue and lavender are a great way to stand out from other brides while remaining true to your lifelong vision of the perfect wedding.
Flowing silhouettes are perfect for Pisces
A Pisces bride is idealistic, compassionate, and imaginative. According to Brides, you are also warm, emotional individuals who connect with the free-flowing water. These fun, free-spirited qualities make you a romantic who will go with the flow on your wedding day. When it comes to the dress, Pisces should think about a flowing silhouette with eye-catching elements like a unique neckline, a jeweled bodice, or embroidery in shades of blue. Pisces are often drawn to mermaid-style dresses as well which help emphasize your feminine figure.
