Wedding Dress Styles?

Romantic: The reason for this is the colour of reds/whites/violets give that combination for the them. Flowers to follow the colours can be roses/Cal lilies/long stemmed to give the difference heights and looks to make them work together with green leaves. Décor for the table can be a square vase with sand on the bottom filled with water and topped tight with foam block of flowers to bring the outdoors inside.

I think it’s so hard to put every dress into one of these categories. It’s dependent on so many other things like hair, makeup, accessories, and even just the body shape and overall look of the person wearing it. What’s romantic on one person could look totally different and glam on someone else.
Even based on your description I’m having a hard time picturing where it would fall without any more context.
If you’re working with a planner this is something they can help you with. Show them the dress and other ideas you have and they can help direct you to one cohesive look.

Big doesn't necessarily mean poof. It could be a huge train. It could be a super long veil. It could be a large neck line. Also, this is just my definition. By no means am I an authority on this lol.

I would definitely not pigeonhole the theme and formality of the wedding based on the dress. People have worn super formal clothes to a farm wedding or something more casual to a ballroom. The event is what you make of it.

I guess I forget that having 30 first cousins is abnormal With that and a number of friends getting married in their early 20s, I've been attending weddings for most of my life!

I guess I never thought of it in that way. That I don't have to style my entire wedding to one thing. Especially since I am getting married on the literal beach in Mexico.

I will be definitely having a talk with the FH about what vibe he is going for and go forward from there. Thanks

An other issue is that we have both not been to any wedding. All of our friends are just starting to get engaged. We were one of the first to get engaged and have an actual date.

If you picked the dress I think you did, I'd describe it as romantic elegance.

I personally wouldn't generally lump dresses into these categories.
I'd go with what you want the overall feel/theme of the wedding to be. You can have a very elegant detailed dress but still want a laid back casual wedding, similarly one could have a simple flowy dress and want an upscale fancy event.

Think of what you want the feeling of your wedding day to be, imagine weddings you've been to in the past. Do some word association games with your FH and come up with a list of words that come to mind when you think about your wedding day
You mention you have a wedding planner. Can you do a video call with them and discuss your overall vision/impression. They should be able to make some suggestions!

With the way you put it mine would be glam but no poof.

I don't think I've ever heard of dresses described this way in a categorical way but as a guy with zero concept of female fashion, here's the first thing that pops into my head.

1. Romantic Wedding Dress - a chiffon dress with minimal pattern accented by some jewels

2. Rustic Wedding Dress - minimalistic, could be off-white, consists mostly of lace but other accented with organic material like flowers and greenery, fairly flowing and not as poofy

3. Elegant Wedding Dress - also minimalistic but satin instead of lace with very clean lines

4. Glamourous Wedding Dress - bigger dress, lots of embroidery and sparkles

5. Bohemian Wedding Dress - similar to the rustic but with less structure in the body and more layers of fabric, potentially a two piece, could be accented with non-organic elements like jewels

6. Vintage Wedding Dress - something with higher necklines and sleeves
