Off-the-shoulder Wedding Dress for Royal Bliss

There’s nothing new about a princess wedding dress, but each season brings chic and romantic variations for the bride curating a fairytale-inspired vibe for her big day. This year is all about effortless romance—delicate lace motifs, soft silhouettes, and elegant fabrications to complement a relaxed and modern occasion. 

Paislee Louise is a fairytale-inspired, off-the-shoulder gown that checks all the pretty style trends, including an elegant silhouette, cascades of pretty lace motifs, and an ultra-flattering neckline to frame your face and shoulders. We especially love the pairing of floral lace motifs and textured tulle—it’s unique without detracting from your timeless ballgown silhouette. Not afraid of making a bold statement? Then opt for Paislee, instead of textured tulle a pop of intrigue in the form of polka-dots is a Disney fairy princess spin that we love! 

Breezy princess vibes aside, glitzy beading and crystals are also fully on trend for 2019 brides-to-be, with shimmery off-the-shoulder gowns like Wesley taking runway-and-center. This ballgown offers a more formal take on the royal aesthetic, featuring opalescent beads and Swarovski crystals in a corset-inspired bodice.

Plunging Necklines

We’re big fans of a daring neckline on a romantic wedding dress. If you too are partial to the flirty, boho-chic, plunging necklines floating down bridal runways, you’ll love Mildred by Rebecca Ingram—our budget-friendly take on the sweet-yet-sexy plunging bodice style. 

This soft gown features a shimmery bodice with illusion plunging neckline and V-back. Lightweight chiffon completes the A-line skirt—a gorgeous choice for a beach or garden celebration. 

Another romantic and affordable wedding dress, Raelynn Lynette features shimmery lace motifs, lightweight fabric, and an illusion plunging V-neckline and V-back. This Rebecca Ingram gown is a lovely choice for the boho bride (at a budget-friendly price point, no less!). 

The Full Skirt Beach Wedding Dress

It’s 2019, and we’re happy to report that “beach-ready silhouettes” need not be restricted to slim slips and sheaths. Say hello to Tovah by Sottero and Midgley, a princess ballgown that packs light for destination locales and seaside celebrations. A halter neckline adds a sporty touch to this modern style, while shimmery lace looks oh-so-magical against a tropical sunset backdrop. 

Also on our list for full-skirted styles for beach weddings, Summer by Rebecca Ingram features soft lace motifs drifting over layers of English netting and textured tulle (in a gorgeous off-white colorway, no less). This A-line gown offers a classic bridal look in a wearable fabric and lightweight layers. 

Fashion Forward Bridal Pantsuit

A lace jumpsuit wedding dress feels undeniably modern, but we say there’s a timeless and inimitable glamour to any playful fashion risk on your big day. (Cue adoring recap of Bianca Jagger’s two-piece stunner from 1971.) For brides of the especially nontraditional ilk, Milan by Maggie Sottero offers a unique bridal look without sacrificing romance or elegance—a wedding pantsuit designed for the most confident and discerning of brides! 

Wedding Dress with Thigh-High Slit

A winning 2019 bridal look is all about playing up your favorite features. If those happen to be your gams, consider Olson by Sottero and Midgley—a chic and romantic boho wedding dress with a thigh-high slit and sheer layers of lace, textured tulle, and nude lining. And hey, want to show off your shoulders too? Spaghetti straps give this lovely lace gown a relaxed and effortless feel, a gorgeous way to frame your shoulders, collar bones, and décolletage.  

Speaking of pretty features, a chic dose of sex appeal is totally on trend for 2019. Check out more sexy wedding dresses from our three lines on our trends pages.

Disco Sparkle Wedding Dresses

If you have any excuse to wear something that looks like a disco ball for a special occasion, we say go for it. Ricarda by Maggie Sottero is the most luminous of lace wedding dresses, featuring allover sequins and shimmery embroidery for that dance-all-night kind of magic. Another winning element? A classy-but-sexy sheer bodice with a romantic V-neckline and V-back. It’s flattering and alluring, yet totally on point for your timeless wedding vision.  

Another Saturday Night Fever-ready design, Jarret by Sottero and Midgley features allover sequins, Swarovski crystal trim, and textured tulle in a slim A-line silhouette. We’re huge fans of the shimmery party vibe for 2019 wedding dress trends, and Jarret is the perfect fusion of glamour and sophistication.
