Wedding Gown Train Lengths 101

The final aspect of selecting the perfect gown is the train. 

The formality of your wedding should influence your decision to have a train more than any other factor.The length of your train should be consistent with the location and time of your wedding.

 

Train Style - Sweep

The brush train is the shortest of the train styles, apart from not having a train at all. It barely "brushes" the ground behind your dress, adding a modest amount of volume to the back of your dress. The brush train is the most versatile train because it can be worn at just about all types of ceremonies, from a spring garden wedding, to an evening event in the fall.

Train Style - Chapel

The chapel length train is the happy medium between the simplicity of the sweep trains, and the formality of the cathedral trains. The chapel train extends about 5 feet from the waist, making a significant statement without the grandeur of the longer trains.

Train Style - Cathedral

The cathedral train is perfect for a very formal and traditional bride who wants all eyes on her as she walks down the aisle. This train extends approximately 7 feet behind the waist, and will require assistance to keep in order, especially during the ceremony and pictures. Because of the grand nature of this train, it is most appropriate for formal church weddings
