Surely, every time you picture a bride, she wears a train. The train of the dress is an icon in the look It is as important as the neckline or the hairstyle. It is characterized by giving personality and accentuating the style of each bride. There are different types of tails, each one for different types of brides and styles of dresses.

Also, in order to choose, it is necessary to consider the comfort and type of marriage.

If we are talking about looking stylish, long tails are not recommended for brides with curves or short stature, since, visually, the tail adds more volume and shortens the figure. But, if you do not want to give it up, it is best not to abuse its length.

When choosing the wedding dress and its respective train, it is important that the mechanism to pick it up is simple and easy to understand. Thus, the result will be a comfortable tail for you, allowing you to enjoy the banquet and the dance with total freedom.

Below we invite you to learn what each type of tail is called, so you can choose yours:

Swept tail

1. Maggie Sottero

This is the simplest, lightest and shortest of all, and therefore it is also the most comfortable option. Its name comes from the fact that given its length of no more than 30 centimeters, the bride sweeps the floor with it. It brings elegance, sobriety and a subtle volume in the back of the dress. Not being extremely long makes it suitable for any wedding style.

Cutting glue

1. Kenneth Winston

This is longer than the swept one, but it is not very long either, being one meter long. It is the ideal tail if you want to wear a long tail and feel like a princess without having to drag a very heavy tail. Suitable for all types of marriages, but although it is not the longest of all, it can be uncomfortable to wear in outdoor marriages, in gardens or on the beach.

Chapel Tail

The length of this tail reaches the meter and a half, and usually starts from the waist. It could be said that this tail has the simplicity of short tails and the glamour Nowadays, this is the most common ponytail style in the bridal world, as it has a length that makes you feel like a princess, but also has the option to be easily worn at the wrist. While not the longest of them all, this ponytail is suitable for ceremonies that take place in large halls and ideally for religious ceremonies.

Cathedral Tail

1. St. Patrick

An important tail for important brides. With a length of two meters, it is the perfect tail for traditional brides celebrating a big wedding in large spaces. Although it is clearly a very pretty and elegant tail, it is not very comfortable, because the bride will need assistance to sit and move during the party. Also, given the length of the tail, the bride will need somepages to help her on her way to the altar at the ceremony.

Monarch or royal tail

Due to its majesty, it is suitable only forgrand halls and banquets, fit for a queen.
