Nontraditional Wedding Dresses

Nontraditional Wedding Dresses

Just because brides have typically worn white or a classic silhouette on their wedding days doesn’t mean that you have to! Honestly, our team at The Bridal Room absolutely loves it when we have brides who want to go against the grain with their wedding day look. Weddings aren’t cookie cutter events, and brides aren’t either! 

 

When it comes to finding your wedding gown, it’s important to celebrate your originality and unique style. What’s better than showcasing that with an unconventional dress or even separates? Let this be your sign to go against the typical wedding dress by going for a gown that’s full of sparkle, prints, tulle, organza, and so many other fashionable options. With a lavishly textured dress, you can contrast clean lines and minimalist florals. Alternatively, add an unforgettable print or a pop of color. 

 

If you’re considering breaking the “rules” and want to wear a nontraditional wedding dress to walk down the aisle in, then let us offer some suggestions from a few of our incredible bridal designers. These gowns are unique, dramatic, and impossibly chic. Read on for our favorite nontraditional wedding dresses!

If you’re a bride searching for a spin on classic wedding dresses, Kelly Faetanini is the bridal designer for you! The Peony wedding dress is a tulle A-line silhouette that’s covered in beaded floral lace appliques. We love the modern chic square neckline and flowy train with sexy side cutouts.
