When it comes to planning your big day, no detail is too small. You have to think about the seating chart, the reception playlist, the cake, and the flowers—and that's not even counting which bridesmaids are walking down the aisle with which groomsmen! Of course, there's one detail that's more important to get right than any other: The wedding dress.
Choosing the right gown is about more than pretty fabrics and chic styles; it's about finding the dress that allows your natural beauty to shine bright. But with so many styles and silhouettes to choose from, it can be tricky to narrow things down. So, why not look to the stars for some guidance? Ahead, an astrologer shares the wedding dress style you should wear, based on your zodiac sign. Are you more of a classic A-line or a funky and flirty jumpsuit? Read on to find out.

Aries: Tea-Length
As an Aries, you'll be just as confident, commanding, and cool on your wedding day as you are any other day.
You have bold tastes and love showing off whenever you get the chance. But you're also someone who's always on the move during social gatherings, so you need a wedding dress style that won't slow you down.
That's why we think a vintage tea-length dress is the perfect fit. Stopping just above the ankles, you won't have to worry about tripping over your train while you race your bridesmaids to the dance floor.
Taurus: Sweetheart
When it comes to timeless and traditional bridal style, nobody does it quite like you do, Taurus!
A lover of all things luxurious and over-the-top, it's no surprise that you're the type of bride who shops without a budget. You want to look effortlessly trendy and classically chic at the same time. That's why you'll love a classic sweetheart neckline.
The heart shape of this silhouette speaks to your Venus-ruled romantic side and is one of the most flattering bridal styles. It's also the perfect base to accessorize with plenty of bling.

Gemini: High Neck
You're a very dynamic, fun, and easygoing person. But Geminis are also known for wanting the best of both worlds.
You'd like a wedding dress that'll turn heads the moment you walk in the room but that's also comfortable and relaxed. So, we think a non-traditional high-neck dress has exactly what you're looking for.
This style shows just enough skin to keep things interesting and keeps your arms free for the evening. Whether you're dancing the night away or reaching for another piece of cake, nothing will get in your way.
Cancer: Lace
A sentimental Cancer bride doesn't need much to be happy on the big day: As long as your friends, family, and fiancé are there, you'll be over the moon.
You've been practicing for the first dance since you were a kid. So, you need a dress that lives up to the fairytale you've been dreaming about. And there's no better way to capture that magic than with a lace wedding dress.
Sweet and romantic, this dress style will make you feel like you've stepped off the pages of a Nicholas Sparks novel. Finish off the look with a vintage veil from one of your family members to make the big event extra special.

Leos have a flair for the dramatic and a desire to be seen. So, why would anyone expect you to play it safe on your special day? Your ideal wedding dress will have the perfect mix of drama and elegance—like a big, poufy ball gown.
These dresses come in just about every silhouette, shape, and color, so you can find exactly what you want. Not to mention all the extra ruffles, embellishments, and layers you can add to ensure you're sparkling and shining bright.
Virgo: Sheath
Sophisticated and traditional, Virgo brides always seem to exude a sense of subtle glamour.
That's because you're very in touch with your personal style and what makes you feel good. Your tastes tend to skew more minimalist and modest than most, with special attention paid to the little details.
That's why we think you'd adore a stunning sheath dress. Made with soft and flowy fabrics like silk and chiffon, this dress is a stylish way to showcase your natural beauty.

Libra: Strapless
Libra is the sign of lovers in astrology, so it's safe to say your wedding day will be the event of the season.
You're a hopeless romantic who's looking for that once-in-a-lifetime fairytale to sweep you off your feet. And when it finally comes time to celebrate, you want to ensure you look your best for the photos.
That's why we love the strapless look for you. This simple and symmetrical design will allow your natural radiance to shine through—and give you plenty of options for how to accessorize.
Scorpio: High-Low
Scorpios aren't afraid to take risks with fashion, and you're also not against embracing your sultry side.
But as much as you want to look avant-garde and sexy, you also want to have an air of sophistication about your wedding gown on the big day—which is why we recommend a modern high-low style dress.
You'll still get the drama of the full train walking down the aisle, but the unexpected asymmetry in the front will surprise and wow your guests. It also leaves room for your shoes to play a major role in the whole look.

Sagittarius: Separates
Sagittarians are the adventurers of the zodiac. You love exploring new foods, places, and styles and aren't looking to wear a typical wedding dress on your big day.

Wedding separates also give you the option to change into a shorter skirt (or, dare we say, shorts!).
Capricorn: A-Line
When it comes to you choosing your dress, you're the kind of bride who knows exactly what you want, Capricorn.
Often considered the most serious zodiac sign, you want a classic style that checks all the boxes of what you consider the perfect wedding dress. You might even be willing to splurge on a custom gown if it means having your dream dress.
For the bride who wants the best, why not go the way of old Hollywood and wear a sleek A-Line wedding dress? It's the perfect mix of subtlety and sophistication.
