Wedding Gown Trends For 2024

Bows

As more brides are opting for sleeker gowns, they’re still choosing to make a statement with oversized bows. You’ll see them on the back of the dresses. However, we also sense that we’ll see them act as smaller details on necklines and bodices.

Slip Dresses

Speaking of simple, one of the biggest silhouettes that we saw at 2023 Bridal Fashion Week was slip dresses. These effortlessly chic dresses are the perfect choice for the laidback bride who doesn’t want anything over the top for their big day. They make a subtle nod to the 1920s, and they’re extremely easy to dress up with accessories.

Short Hemlines

The past few years have been the years of elopements and courthouse “I do’s,” which call for shorter hemlines. They’re casual, romantic, and not to mention more comfortable than traditional gowns. If you’re opting for a shorter dress but still want to stand out on your special day, consider pairing the dress with bolder accessories like an embroidered veil or statement earrings.

Printed Dresses

If you want to express your colorful personality, opt for a non-white dress that is as bright as you are. Whether it’s a subtle swap like champagne or blush, or you want to go bold with black or red, there are so many possibilities out there.

Floral Appliques

Much like floral wedding dresses, floral appliques are going to be another big trend in 2024. Think white gowns with colorful florals embroidered on the dress. However, if you’d rather stick to an all-white dress, fret not. There are plenty of options with bold embroidery.

Mesh

We’ve seen a lot of mesh in the fashion industry as a whole, so it’s no surprise that it’s making its way to the wedding world. Unlike illusion fabric that is meant to blend in with your skin, this mesh is typically white/ivory to match the dress. This gives it a very modern look that can be great for keeping you warm.

Two Pieces

Separates are by far the most versatile, playful look out there thanks to their ability to be mixed and matched. Whether you’re mixing a bustier top with a full tulle skirt or a crop top with a fitted, figure-hugging skirt, the options are endless. Not to mention the killer pantsuit options.

Over the Top Reception Outfit Changes

Wedding attire is all about being the star of the show these days, and what better way to do so than with an over-the-top reception outfit? Whether you opt for a dress decked out in sparkles to a sexy jumpsuit that lets you dance, no matter which one you choose, you’ll feel completely and utterly glamorous on your wedding day. Not to mention ready to party.
