In this series for wedding dresses, I will be outlining 6 different types of trains for the wedding dress, which will be the brush, court, chapel, cathedral, royal, and watteau. The wedding train usually measures from the length of the waist to the hem, which is located in the back of the grown.
I have previously written about 11 important wedding dress features for sleeves, choosing the perfect wedding dress for your body type, and 9 Types of Necklines for Wedding Dresses and this falls into the same category. There are many types of trains available, so you can select what train length is best for your type of dress and what is comfortable for you.
When selecting a Bridal Shoppe in your area, schedule appointments with seasoned professionals who will provide you honest feedback regarding proper fit, complimentary styles, and ones who are not in it just for the sale. With that being said, here are the 6 types of trains for wedding dresses:
The Brush Wedding Train
The brush wedding train is known as being the shortest train of all the train styles, it is also known as the sweeping train. The name brush is exactly what this dress does because it barely brushes the ground behind the wedding dress. The brush train is the most versatile because it can be worn at all types of wedding ceremonies.
The Court Wedding Train
The court wedding train is slightly longer than the brush, it runs approximately 3 feet behind the bride, and it can be worn at most ceremonies.
The Chapel Wedding Train
The chapel wedding train is the most common train because it’s not a full train, but it provides a happy medium for the bride because of its simplicity. The chapel train extends 5 feet behind the bride. The chapel wedding train provides a statement of its own and it can be worn at a formal or informal ceremony.
The Cathedral Wedding Train
The cathedral wedding train is worn for more formal church weddings. The cathedral train extends over 7 feet behind the bride. This train will require assistance at the wedding ceremony and reception.
The Royal Wedding Train
The royal wedding train makes a statement of its own! The royal wedding train extends over 10 feet behind the bride. This train will require assistance at the wedding ceremony and reception.
The Watteau Wedding Train
The watteau wedding train is a beautiful single panel that attaches to the top or at the top of the shoulders, or upper back of the bodice of the wedding dress! The watteau train drapes to the back of the ground, which makes for more of a dramatic appearance.
