You don’t come across a look like this every day, but boy, does it suit her perfectly. It’s the kind of style that exudes confidence and makes any woman feel like she can conquer the world.

The dress fits her like a glove, accentuating her curves and highlighting her natural beauty. Without a doubt, she looks absolutely stunning, turning heads and leaving everyone in awe of her radiant presence.
9. Blinding beauty
She didn’t really need any help, but that radiant glow suits her perfectly. It was as if she had stepped right out of the enchanting world of Middle Earth, resembling an ethereal, elf-like creature with her serene presence and delicate features. Sheer, patterned fabrics are a very popular choice, and this dress uses them head to toe.
10. Bit of a classic
This dress is sleek and long, giving off those classic traditional wedding vibes. It’s the kind of dress that makes you envision petals gently falling down the aisle, adding to the romantic atmosphere. The flowing fabric and graceful design create a sense of movement as if the dress itself is dancing down the aisle.
11. Sheer drama
This layered sheer garment clings to the body like fog, outlining the figure and keeping things light and delicate. The exposed chest window draws a visual contrast to the neck, where the cape frames the shoulders and cascades down with natural fluidity. Simple, dramatic, and sexy is all a dress needs to be sometimes.
12. Off-the-shoulder ball gown
The combination off the shoulder style, detailed straps and exposed thigh window really sell this dress. Its natural, leafy embroidery and cinched waist create an enchanting fairy princess moment, capable of melting even the most steely-hearted handsome prince. Steely-hearted is optional, handsome is not.
13. Thick and luscious
This dress is all about its texture. Its soft, almost quilted material rests firmly but gently on the curves. The thick material reflects the light making the dress shine in the light as its graceful and pronounced trail makes every step you take enchanting. Its modest neck and thigh vent mean you aren’t completely covered and still get to show off as you move.
14. Thigh all the way up
For quite a simple dress, this styling has a lot going on. It’s form-fitting, textured, and light, kept afloat with delicate strap features. The main draw here is the severe thigh vent, which seemingly never stops. The effect produced is the perfect combination of height, balance, and an utterly irresistible look for the big day.
15. Simplicity is key
This trendy yet simple boho dress gives you all the classic hallmarks of a wedding gown with a youthful twist. A plunging neckline for plenty of skin, exposed shoulders beneath a sheer short-sleeve, and a wonderful, cascading asymmetrical embossing. It’s a simple shape that’s taken to the next level with its subtle attention to detail.
16. Enchanted charm
This old-world meets woodland sprite ode to nature would be perfect for walking down the aisle of the Garden of Eden. Its loving detail work is full of beads, intricate stitching, a wrap sleeve, and of course the eye-catching elbow-length gloves. It’s an ethereal look that takes minutes of staring to take it all in.
17. It’s all in the sleeves
A gorgeous, classic shape augmented by its low-cut top, exposed legs, and gorgeous puffy sleeves. The natural drape sits on low the arms in any neutral position, meaning each picture of you carrying the bouquet, sipping champagne, and crying tears of joy will all be Insta-worthy. Its tight cuffs cut off the flow keeping it from getting in the way.
18. Tying the knot
The thin shoulder straps here are almost imperceptible next to the river of fabric running behind the trail. The exposed back and tight bow make the top half of the gown weightless, a beautiful contrast to the thick, heavy, and textured bottom half. The drama of the bow and train are all that matters in this gown!
19. Sparkle sparkle
Who even needs subtlety? It’s your wedding and it’s all about you, everybody knows that. This curve-hugging sequined mermaid gown radiates shine. With its hourglass leg shape and trail starting from the waist, the glitter only serves to draw attention to your very best assets.
19. Slim-fit
This striking, sharp, and slim-fitting dress subverts all the classic expectations of a bridal look. The wrap-around mesh-like top creates an elongating effect on the arms, and the trail styled as a front bow lifts the lower half. It gives an ethereal, elven kind of beauty that will live on in the minds of your guests forever after.
20. Chest piece of art
While an exposed chest or a plunging neckline work wonders to draw the eye, this look understands that some bold detail can do an even better job. The creeping leaves from the bra area work their way up to the shoulders, accented by some darling bead work to create the impression of dew drops on the skin.
21. Classic and elegant
This one fits a more traditional brief, with plenty of bells and whistles to keep it up-to-date and modern. The slightly looser, fit here works with the overall theme of the dress, a gentle white wave that fits like an exhale. The exquisite cuffs reign in the volume, making a stark and intentional contrast that demonstrates the intentionally weighty design.
22. Embracing femininity
This dress fits like a divine cloak. Exposed legs are always a winner, but the wrap detail sitting just above the hips creates a high-waist look that’s only enhanced with the ruched material. The result is a dress that clings to you by force of attraction and, in this dress, you’d be sure to light up the room.
23. Every girl’s dream
You don’t need to mess with the classics, as funny as it would be to Chris Pratt in Casablanca. With a simple silhouette and construction, this dress nails all the essential elements of a traditional wedding dress. It has shape, volume, beauty, just enough skin, and nothing so out there it distracts from the focus: you.
24. Not enough pearls
This severe mermaid tail gown is so extra it’s impossible to look away from. It’s gaudy in the best way; beauty in excess. It hugs the waist, explodes around the hips, and did you notice the pearls? Essential for any mermaid. An understated yet wonderful addition is the single shoulder strap, just the glitter-dusted icing on the wedding cake.
25. Sound the trumpets
This a perfect example of how tulle is simply magic for sleeves. The off-shoulder/long sleeve combination creates a captivating illusion of a seamless fit, while the trumpet body and ruched waist slim and elongate the torso. The trail beginning at the upper thigh gives room for movement while still leaving behind a glorious trail.
26. A rose by any other name
This Romeo and Juliet-inspired dress exudes all the charm and romance of Verona. A pattern of baroque, almost mandala patterns run the length of the body and trail, mirroring the order and intricacies of the warring families. With its flowing trail and hooded veil, the intrigue, drama, and majesty of the dress are hard to deny.
27. Flowers for the bride
Who doesn’t want to be covered head to toe in nature? The main thing here is the gorgeous and intricate flower stitching on the mesh layers. The crossing of the fabric creates a dramatic return to nature. The pattern continues up to the body, as the dress tightens up and flatters the brides stunning figure.
28. Thin and long
While many dresses focus on larger volumes for longer trails, this elegant number is thin, and light, and incorporates the veil into the mix to add a new dimension. Perfectly fitting the beach theme of the photo shoot, the stitched details are focused on the outer edges of the fabric, producing a vibe that’s halfway between sparkles and sea foam.
29. Sequin bell of the ball
If you’re looking for an extravagant, show-stealing ball gown, you might as well go all the way with it. Sparkle your way down the aisle with the gorgeous rhinestone finish, get plenty of sultry shoulder action with the exposed cut, and swish yourself across the dance floor with its emphasized waist. It’s a dress built from the ground up to steal the ball.
30. It’s all in the hips
This dress layers its tulle over a traditional, opaque fabric to highlight the natural beauty of the bride’s body. The legs may be covered, but the translucent waist means your hips will steal the show. Add to that the push-up bust, the scalloped detail on the trail, and a simple, classic veil, and you have a dress that marries old-school and contemporary style.
31. The long train
This dress is unique because it focuses on the train in isolation. It’s normal for trains that start below the knee to be attached to a mermaid cut, however, this dress has a comfortable, narrow fit from the hips down. The sweetheart neckline also helps keep the top half beautiful and modest, so as not to detract from the highlights.
32. Soft as silk
Built around its texture, this piece uses its flow and shape to maximum effect. The silk organza chest creates these angular accents, great for framing the face and showing off your fierce bridal makeup. The asymmetric layers around the waist help create volume without overwhelming your shape, and the naked arms help balance everything out.
33. Night at the ballet
This dance-inspired gown mixes in classical features of ballet attire to make your special day all the more elegant. The pointed arch-chest brings a lot of attention to the shoulders (a core aspect of consideration in dance) while just beneath it, you see the strap detail most commonly found in ballet shoes. The soft, off-beige tone is a nice point of difference.
34. A different take on nature
If tiny flowers over tulle aren’t your tempo, try something like this! These giant orchid details over a heavier material give just as gorgeous a natural vibe, without having to expose too much skin in the process. The chunky bell sleeves carry the motif more delicately, on a lighter fabric boasting the same floral embossing.
35. Who needs doves when you’re a phoenix
This translucent, iridescent shroud of flame will leave your wedding guests in awe. Stepping away from white is a perfectly common deviation from tradition, and the boho-inspired ruffles already hint at a little rebellion. The neckline and shoulder scoops give you plenty of skin on show.
36. Classy and sassy
An elegant cut and high-thigh window, a V-neckline, ruched torso, what doesn’t this dress have? Well, it also has really cute sleeve features, which you probably noticed. It all comes together to form a look that has plenty of classic charm, with just enough of the 20s vaudeville attitude to keep it from feeling outdated. An impressive balance.
37. Satin sleeves
This half-satin, half-tulle dress offers a refined, simple, stunning look. The long-sleeved top adds a touch of grace, while the open back and pearl features give a more sensual side to the arrangement. The trail is as layered, shaped, and puffed as you would imagine, with an exaggerated hip that collects behind the wearer.
38. For pleat’s sake
Pleats? At a wedding? On the bride? You sound like a mother-in-law right now – there are no rules here! Wear whatever you want and, if that’s pleat, consider this at least proof of the concept working. The simple open-front corset is already making a statement of non-tradition, and the flowing white crimps will look dashing during a twirl.
39. Mika-i-do
This blindingly white mikado dress stands out in its simplicity. It’s all about the body shape, the mermaid tail, and the beading work across the belt and torso. It would be a hard look to pull off since there is nothing to hide behind, but the plain, striking beauty of the gown speaks volumes for itself. Less is more.
40. Layered details beneath the dress
Subverting expectations, this dress takes the idea of building shape and detail through texture and inverts it. A lavishly detailed and adorned turtleneck lace top sits beneath the main gown, which uses large, flat shapes to keep everything rounded and simple. The bow and the wrap around style are simple but build on extravagant foundations.
