Wedding Dress Trends for 2024

1. Minis

Mini wedding dresses are having their moment. Once reserved for courthouse weddings and elopements, mini-wedding dresses are taking the spotlight. They are fun and unexpected but still are very much bridal. There are so many different styles to choose from as well, available in different fabrics, necklines, classic or modern, romantic and sleek. There is a mini wedding dress for you no matter what your aesthetic is. A plus of mini dresses is that they are typically cheaper than longer gowns and will fit the bill!

 

2. 3D Floral

3D floral wedding dresses make a statement with a twist on classic floral wedding gowns. These 3D florals can range from tiny and delicate to giant and bold petals. This trend is both adventurous and romantic. These blooms help add a unique texture and embellishment. The key to this trend is the placement to help create the type of mood and statement. One big flower or a cluster of smaller ones will create a focal point while cascading florals can help create softness as well as movement. No matter what style you choose, it will be eye-catching.

 

3. Statement Sleeves

Sleeves can transform a gown in an instant! While versatile, sleeves aren’t just for winter weddings. Statement sleeves can elevate the look of any gown. Think removable, dramatic billowing and sleeves that drape off the shoulder. This trend can be playful and add pzazz to classic and timeless designs. Whatever your wedding dress style is, there is a dress with statement sleeves for you!

4. Floral Print

Floral printed gowns are a breath of fresh air from conventional bridal gowns. Choose from a delicate floral print or bold floral print wedding gown. This trend has been popular for a while and it will not be going away anytime soon as more designers are embracing these gorgeous floral printed dresses.  These dresses add an ethereal and feminine touch to any dress.

 

5. Lace Neckline

A lace or illusion neckline is a great way to show off your décolletage. This neckline can be dramatic but also truly enchanting with the delicate fabric. This style dress is made from see-through fabrics adorned with embroidery, appliques or beadwork.  Lace necklines are for brides who want to show off their spectacular necklines in a noticeable way.

 

6. Thin Straps

For the bride who doesn’t want sleeves but doesn’t want a strapless gown. Thin straps are the perfect in-between. Spaghetti straps are not new, but thin straps are making a comeback in the bridal gown world. This wedding dress trend can be seen in a variety of silhouettes. From tight-fitting silhouettes, and boho gowns to ballgowns.

 

7. Structured

A structured wedding dress can help create a super-flattering shape that shows off your body while also adding support. A structured bodice doesn’t necessarily mean a corset; it can mean crisp lines, refined silhouettes and architectural elements. A structured dress can provide a flawless fit to make you feel your best and keep you supported. You can also see structured pieces in bridal jumpsuits and two pieces for a contemporary aesthetic.

 

8. Drop Waist

The drop waist dress trend originated in the 1920’s. Typically, the waist lands around the hips and works very well with mermaid-type dresses. But that is not the only dress style it works with. A ballgown with a tight bodice with a skirt that blooms at your hips will have you feeling like a princess. Generally, the drop waist helps accentuate the bride’s curves and gives the illusion of a longer torso.

 

9. Beaded

Another 1920s-inspired trend, beaded wedding gowns add a bit of elegance by adding texture and eye-catching details. Perfect for the bride who wants more glam on their wedding day. They are a great choice for a more formal occasion but will go beautifully on a mini wedding dress for a courthouse wedding.

There is no shortage of wedding dress trends for 2024. No matter what your style or location of your wedding, there is a wedding dress for you.
