Summer 2023 Wedding Dress Trends
They don’t call summer “wedding season” for nothing—there’s just something about a summer wedding! Summer brides delight in the warmer temps, which give them the ability to have more fun with their wedding dresses (while in winter it’s mostly just about staying warm!). There are a host of fun wedding dress styles on trend this season that are sure to make your summer wedding that much more hot. Here are some of our favorite looks!
3-D Florals

Texture is in! 3-D florals—whether small details or large, eye-catching pieces—add volume to your standard wedding dress, and will really make you feel one with nature.
Bows

This feminine detail is having a resurgence when it comes to summer wedding dresses. Go big with a large bow either at the front or back of your dress, or incorporate the detail on a smaller scale with a belt or hair clip.
Pastel Hues

Go against the grain with a colored wedding dress! Pastel hues are especially on trend for summer—try a light blue, pale pink, or cream dress to keep it light while still showcasing a pop of color.
Off-the-Shoulder

It’s giving Belle (!). Show off that neckline—and create some airflow—with an off-the-shoulder dress, either with sleeves or without.

Less fabric = less heat. Sheer layering is a great way to add a unique look to your wedding outfit—and the best part is it won’t weigh you down! Opt for see-through sleeves, or go sheer all over for a bolder look (just don’t forget your undergarments!).
Mini Dresses

The best way to stay cool for the summer is, of course, to wear less dress. Why save the mini dress for the afterparty when you can wear it down the aisle?! There are tons of gorgeous mini-wedding dresses that pack the same amount of wow-factor as full-length ones.
