One of the most fun elements of planning a wedding is that you can be so creative with style, design, and fashion! From selecting a venue and destination that resonates with you to searching for your gorgeous wedding dress, it’s an opportunity to celebrate and plan something that will be so special for you and your guests. If you’re starting to consider which style of gown might work for you, here are some of the best 2024 wedding dress trends that you might love!
I love that floral appliques are one of the biggest wedding dress trends of 2024! Whether it’s tiny little elements added onto a bodice or skirt or a grand, statement piece, appliques add a gorgeous 3D element to your dress, which will photograph beautifully too.
Corsets and bodices are such a classic, timeless style of dress, but they’re also one of the most chic wedding dress trends in 2024. Don’t worry though, as these are nothing like constricting, old-fashioned Downton Abbey style corsets! Modern corsets are comfortable and breathable, designed to accentuate your natural hourglass shape and provide a beautiful silhouette.
Bodices are popular with A-line dresses too, creating a gorgeous, full style that’s perfect for the traditional bridal look (that will never go out of fashion!).
A structured bodice, which is often done in silks or satin, also creates the opportunity to incorporate different fabrics and textures into your dress.
If you’re wondering, what are the wedding dress trends for 2024, you might be surprised to learn that bows are popular! Bows add a dainty, feminine element to your wedding bodice or skirt, but don’t have to look childish or young — instead, think runway style that’s bold, beautiful, and makes you feel like a million bucks!
Brides are loving large bows on the back of the dress in particular, a glamorous look that will always impress. Or, for a more subdued way to try out the trend, small bows placed on the sleeves, waist, or bodice can add a whimsical vibe to your look.
Which type of wedding dress is trending now? More and more, brides are expanding beyond the traditional white to add colour to their celebrations. Your wedding is your opportunity to plan a day you’ll love forever, so if you’re drawn to a cream, pale pink, or even lipstick red — go for it!
For 2024, sage greens, dusty pinks, or bright pops of colour against white fabrics are all winners, so don’t be afraid to play around with something different.
When considering your dress options, I love how brides are also thinking about the style of gown and how well it pairs with different destinations. Oh, and added bonus, this will also reflect beautifully in your wedding photos!
For example, for a BC intimate wedding or Ireland elopement, the wild, mountainous vibes of these locations tie in so well with a long, flowy dress that will catch the wind and allow movement, creating those dramatic, editorial-style wedding images.
Or, for a chic wedding in a big city, like Paris, Toronto, or Rome, go for a more luxurious vibe to match your high-end venue, such as formal gowns with structure or long, laced veils.
I love this wedding trend because it’s not only fun, but it’s completely practical — having two (or more!) looks for your wedding day! For your ceremony, go all out with a long gown, a veil, and your gorgeous traditional accessories. Then change your look for later in the night!
A wedding dress for an after party can be shorter, such as cocktail length or less, and will also make it much easier to move and dance with your guests. And, if you’re really into fashion, add on a third stylish look for your after party! Different dresses add such a unique bit of variety to your wedding photography too, transitioning from day to night.
I can’t wait to help you bring your dream wedding vision to life! (and see pics of the gorgeous wedding dress you end up choosing! 😉)
