While ball gowns and A-lines are almost similar in terms of silhouettes, there are some fundamental differences between the two. At Bianco Evento, we have a stunning collection of both, each of which bears the signature charm of our brand and presents a timeless aura.

So, when it comes to choosing the wedding dress shopping, our brides often get confused. Knowing the differences can ease their job. Here, we will be talking about the fundamental differences and similarities between the two, so that would-be brides can make a more informed choice.

The ball gown and A-line silhouettes have been around for decades and even today amidst all those style innovations, these two are still reigning in the brides’ hearts.

The Silhouette

A lines and ball gowns are more frenemy when it comes to silhouette. Both carry volume but A-line is fitted in the hips and gradually flared out from the waistline forming a beautiful train. The silhouette resembles the capital letter A. A-lines are more contemporary and arrive in a variety of necklines, fabrics, and trains. Moreover, they are easy to move around because they come in a more relaxed long skirt.

A-line gowns are quite trendy and look gorgeous. Most of the Bianco Brides have opted for our A-line outfits for their entire wedding event including backyard barbecues, grand dinner ceremonies and much more. It is such a versatile silhouette!

On the other hand, everything about Ball Gowns is extremely regal. These swish opulent outfits are popular as princess gowns. Their royal appearance makes all the difference. While all ball gowns have a fitted bodice, not all A-lines come with it. A fitted bodice or corset flatters every curve of a bride, thus making it look more natural. Honestly, nothing makes more of a statement like a real-life fairytale ball gown wedding dress can when it comes to your big day.

And, since the upper part or the bodice of the ball gowns are fitted, it can easily flatter every body type. The fuller the silhouette, it accentuates the waist and hides the lower body. Hence, ball gowns can perfectly flatter any body type. Keep in mind, for brides who are fuller on top, the fitted bodice will make you look a bit thin. For petite brides, ball gowns work great as they can flatter every feature while the flare of the gown creates a volume thus enhancing the wedding look of a short girl.

Wedding Venue

Ball gowns or princess cuts are great for grand venues or traditional church wedding ceremonies. While A-line outfits are perfect from church events to beach weddings. Modern brides often prefer A-lines for their versatility.

Ball Gowns vs. A-lines: What to opt for

A-lines and ball gowns both make a perfect visual treat. And in terms of versatility, both are unparalleled. When it comes to choosing anyone from the other, obviously it becomes quite perplexing and the best you can do is think about your wedding venue before making an investment. With the return Covid-19 once again, the lockdown measures are going to be in place once again. Which means there will be more Zoom weddings than Church events. May be, there will be some informal occasions at home which means brides will mostly opt for the A-lines as they offer more versatile choices without making you look heavy. Many brides will opt for this as they want to stay and feel comfortable while dancing the night away. So, A-lines make a fitting choice from all aspects.

However, we believe that every bride has their own choice and preferences. Though ball gowns have a different sort of audience, there are brides who will in any case opt for the A-lines. To keep your options open, we would suggest you try both styles, and our style experts will walk you through the necessary insights.
