Little did you know, that gorgeous sparkler could lead you to your dream dress.
Curious what the rock you're rocking has to say about your wedding dress style? Check out our gown predictions for five of the most popular engagement ring styles.
Round-Cut Engagement Ring
You're all about timeless wedding style. Lace details, sleeves and high collars all speak to your love of tradition. Where your dress silhouette is concerned, A-lines and classic ball gowns give you the perfect balance of drama and formality. When it comes to accessorizing your look, only a cathedral-length veil will do.

Cushion-Cut Engagement Ring
You appreciate tradition, but you also want to put a high-fashion twist on your wedding dress. Dramatic mermaid-style silhouettes, sweeping trains and bejeweled bodices will give you all of the glamorous appeal you're looking for. If anyone is going to rock back bling or a bridal cape, it's you.

Your style is elegant with cool-girl flair. Taking after style icons like Amal Clooney and Kate Hudson, your dress will be chic and minimalistic. We see a sleek trumpet-style gown or sheath with understated embellishments like geometric beading or pearl-encrusted straps in your future.
