Choosing your wedding dress based on your Enneagram type

So, we want to know your Enneagram personality type! Are you the Romantic Individualist bride? The Peacemaker, who is joyful and unpretentious? A Loyalist, always going with something tried and tested? Or an Adventurous type 7, who will be constantly searching for something fun and new to add to their wedding look? If you've recently done some soul searching and looking to do a deep dive into what makes you unique, let this blog post be your guide to uncovering your true bridal style using the highlights of your Enneagram personality type.

To clarify things a little better for you, the Enneagram personality scale breaks it down into three main focuses of intelligence:

• Heart types

• Head types

• Body types

Heart types are always making connections, body types are great when it comes to listening to their gut, and head types are already thinking too much about all of this and are five steps ahead of us all.

A little disclaimer: This post on your Enneagram personality and choosing your perfect wedding dress is only meant for some fun inspiration. If the descriptions here don't really vibe with you, just continue to do your thing. While we will give some specific ideas for gowns that might match with your Enneagram personality type, you should always go with the dress that feels best with you!

Let's break down all 9 Enneagram personalities and how they motivate your personal bridal style.

Enneagram 1: The Perfectionist

The first personality of the Enneagram is The Perfectionist. Also known as The Reformer, Enneagram 1s do everything with purpose. They are rational, and they also love some time for relaxation. This is a body personality type who's driven by their principles, so stay out of their way and let them thrive!

What kind of wedding dress you should have: If you’re an Enneagram 1, your bridal gown can be something classic and elegant. And if any bride is gonna sport the best timeless and traditional look, it's you. Enneagram 1s are the ones whose gown that folks will be looking at pictures of decades from now and it will still be stylish and beautiful.

A stickler for tradition, Enneagram 1 brides are more likely to veer on the side of wearing a bridal veil. Check out this lace wedding gown paired with a sheer bridal veil, which is absolutely stunning for a summer outdoor wedding.

Enneagram 2: The Helper

Enneagram 2s are givers at heart. Always available to lend a helping hand, they are heart types who love being around other people. It's safe to say that Enneagram 2s are also loyal partners, and any person would be so lucky as to be matched with an Enneagram 2!

What kind of wedding gown you should have: When it comes to your dream bridal gown, your Enneagram 2 personality will probably be looking for a wedding dress with a vibe that's just as heart-filled as you are.

Just check out this beautiful princess ball gown that creates the perfect blend of elegance and vibrancy for your wedding day look.

Enneagram 3: The Achiever

Enneagram 3 personalities are always striving for success. They are ambitious folks, seeking admiration and acclaim. And while this seems like a head or body type of description, Enneagram 3s are actually heart types. That's because their need to be successful is actually centered around their desire to be accepted and loved by their peers. All of that love and generous energy will probably translate into a series of big bashes for their wedding, from an unforgettable wedding shower to a wedding reception that their family and friends will be talking about for years to come.

What kind of wedding dress you should have: As an extroverted type 3, you will want a real show-stopper! This means an opportunity to play with wedding dress trends, so why not take it? Check out this sequin jeweled gown, with a sheer medium-sized veil to match.

Enneagram 4: The Individualist

As The Individualist or "The Romantic Individualist", Enneagram 4s are heart types. They feel their emotions at the core and they experience them deeply. Everything is authentic and individual with Enneagram 4s. Fiances if you're reading this and if you're lucky enough to be paired up with a type 4 Enneagram personality, know that they will love you more sincerely than you ever thought possible.

What kind of wedding dress you should have: Enneagram 4s can be seen as the more risk-taking type of bride, but when it comes to bridal style, your typical Enneagram 4 personality doesn't have to sport the most eclectic look to make them feel like their best self for the wedding. You can look just as amazing in something simple yet beautiful, mixing timeless looks with a bit of extra personality.

Let this sequined gown with an overlay inspire all you Enneagram 4s out there. Isn’t it so romantic?

But really, enough of us telling you what to do. Go with your heart on this one, because that's your vibe and is there really any other way to live?

Enneagram 5: The Investigator

Enneagram 5 personalities are big thinkers. Always listening and learning something new, they're the innovators of the Enneagram. Being head types they seek facts, figures, knowledge, and all the data points. It will be no surprise to many that Enneagram 5s are also secret perfectionists, so their wedding will be filled with some beautifully curated moments and details to make their guests feel special and oh-so impressed.

What kind of wedding gown you should have: When it comes to bridal gowns, get on the wedding dress trend and go for something with lace, which will effortlessly add layers of glamour to your gown. Whether it's in the dress fabric or as a bridal accessory, a piece with beaded detail will also make for your perfect bridal look.

This gorgeously embroidered A-line gown truly does the trick.

Enneagram 6: The Loyalist

Loyalists are head types. Sometimes a little skeptical, they also value trust and respect in their relationships, which makes them an amazing partner and friend. Enneagram 6 personality types like to be prepared for anything, so their wedding will be planned out well to minimize any slip-ups during the celebration.

What kind of wedding gown you should have: Being a Loyalist, you want something that blends timelessness with functionality and beauty. Whether that's a romantic A-Line gown or a strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and a puffy skirt, go with your gut when trying on gowns and don't be afraid to choose the dress that makes you feel your best.

We are inspired by this classic-looking wedding dress that offers the perfect hint of romance and whimsy.

Enneagram 7: The Adventurer

Enneagram 7 Adventurers are head types while simultaneously being busy bees at heart. Which makes sense, as they’re perpetually in a state of packing up for another adventure while simultaneously researching travel tips for their 4-day hike along the Black Forest Trail. Perhaps a destination wedding is in the cards for them, or an summer outdoor wedding at their favorite family-run vineyard so they can celebrate in intimate style with their nearest and dearest friends and family.

What kind of wedding gown you should have: The term "Boho bridal" was probably created for Enneagram 7s. Being so fun-loving and enthusiastic, you'll want a wedding dress as dynamic, lighthearted, and joyful as your beautiful self. Check out this beautiful bridal gown with sheer long sleeves and some embroidered details.

Enneagram 8: The Challenger

Challengers are body types. As the name states, Challengers aren't scared of confrontation. In fact, they'll sometimes seek it out! But no one else's opinion will let them lose their way, as Enneagram 8s are super independent and confident in their own skin.

What kind of wedding dress you should have: If you’re an Enneagram 8, you’re never afraid to stand proud as your best self, so let your confidence be your guide when it comes to choosing your perfect wedding dress. Take this amazing opportunity to wear a more one-of-a-kind gown for your wedding day. As opposed to A-line dresses that are flattering on almost anyone, Enneagram 8s can go the distance and try for a long silk gown. Or, you can even sport a stunningly bold mermaid wedding gown. Because if anyone can pull that look off, it's you.

Are you an Enneagram 8? This stylish mermaid gown is right up your alley, Challengers!

Enneagram 9: The Peacemaker

As body types, Peacemakers do some vital work. We like to think of Enneagram 9s as receptive to ideas, as amazing listeners, and important caretakers. Understanding, good-humored, and straightforward, the Enneagram 9 bridal style can gather bits of the best of all angles and perspectives. It takes more intricate and mindful hard work to build peace. Their power and personality are important for this world!

What kind of wedding dress you should have: As an Enneagram 9, you are joyful and always filled with love, so whatever you choose to wear will give off that aura. Let us guide you a little in the right direction with this teacup wedding dress, made for a garden party.
