There are plenty of reasons to fall in love with western wedding dresses, but we think some clues are more obvious than others. Here’s what you might have in common with our real brides who chose soft, nature-inspired silhouettes for their ultra-romantic celebrations:

  • You’re a down-to-earth outdoorsy type of girl. You enjoy camping weekends, country and folk music, good food, and all-season adventures. 
  • You love a more rustic aesthetic. You prefer soft and neutral tones in wedding decor and venues — think tan, copper, dusty blue, eggshell, turquoise, coral, and gold. 
  • You’ve taken our Find Your Style quiz and it served up rustic, romantic gowns with western-inspired details. 
  • The wedding vibe you’re going for is casual and nature-inspired. You’re considering an outdoor venue, earthy palettes, lush greenery, wildflower bouquets, and vintage-inspired details. You’ve got plans for an all-night dance party, a big banquet with plenty of food and drinks, and heartfelt moments with your nearest and dearest. 
  • You want to wear something beautiful and unique on your wedding day. You’ve got your eye on relaxed silhouettes, soft shimmer, vintage flourishes, and stylish details with a little edge.
