Stun in These 9 Summer Bridal Looks
Planning a summer wedding means sprinkling your big day with endless sunshine, from the bold colors you can incorporate into your decor, accessories, florals, and invitations to the delicious food that’s ripe for the season.
Plus, you have more fun with the style of dress you decide to wear, since the warmer weather calls for different lengths, textures, fabrics, and colors. Looking for the perfect wedding dress to wear to your summer celebration? Take a look at these 9 styles.
Flower Design Patterns
If you’re looking to go with a style that's a bit unique and perfect for the sunny season, consider a dress that has floral applique on it. Not only will this give your dress dimension and movement, but it will give it a textured, 3D look that will pop in photos.
Tea-Length Dresses
Having a backyard or outdoor wedding celebration? Rather than drag a long dress down the aisle, go with a tea-length look instead. You can style this type of dress with high heels, bright accessories, or even a pair of lace stockings (especially if the weather is cooler than expected).
Asymmetric Ruffles
If you’re not looking to wear a floor-length gown or a short dress, find a style in the middle. Picking a look that has asymmetric ruffles will have you flaunting a dress that’s a little longer in the back and shorter in the front. Plus, it gives our dress a romantic and elegant twist.
Two-Piece Set
Warmer weather doesn’t always mean a dress is the right option for you. One big summer trend is a two-piece wedding set. You can go with a flowy skirt and crop top or a pair of trousers and an off-the-shoulder satin blouse. This look is perfect for the bride who wants to walk down the aisle in something chic, yet unique.
Off-the-Shoulder Look
When the weather is warmer and the sun is shining, you don’t need a ton of fabric on your wedding dress. If you want to accentuate your neckline, go with the popular off-the-shoulder look and style your dress with statement earrings or hair clips.
Add a Pop of Color
Summer is all about bold colors. While you might incorporate these bright yellows, pinks, greens, and oranges into your decor and florals, you can also consider them for your wedding look. If you don’t want to go with a traditional white or cream wedding dress, find a dress that incorporates a pop of color, whether it’s in the details, patterns, or in the overall hue of the dress.
Lace or Tulle Fabrics
Since you might find yourself dating with hot temperatures, pick a dress that incorporates more light-weight fabrics, like lace or tulle. You’ll find dresses in these fabrics that give you the ultimate bridal look, without making you feel too sweaty on your big day.
V-Neckline or Backline
If you want to go with a more unique style that stands out, opt for a dress that has a v-neckline or v-backline. You can style this look with colorful accessories and heels.
Beachy Bohemian Look
There’s no better season than summer for a beachy, Bohemian wedding dress. If the overall theme and tone of your wedding taps into the summer season, going with an off-the-shoulder, lace, or flowy dress is the perfect look for your celebration.
