Our Favorite Summer Wedding Gowns

With warm weather and beautiful sunshine, it’s no wonder that summer is one of the most popular seasons for a wedding. However, this sunny weather can also impact the type of dress you fall in love with for your wedding. From simple straps to beautiful embroidery, here are a few of our favorite summer wedding gowns.

Strapless Summer Wedding Gowns

The Leah Dress by Allure Bridals

As one of the most timeless and popular wedding styles, a strapless dress is perfectly suited for a summer wedding. There’s nearly endless strapless gown styles to choose from as well since you can choose the shape of the rest of your dress, whether that’s a ball gown or tulle skirt. You can also include added details such as a beaded bodice or an embellished belt like this Allure Bridals gown. 

Off the Shoulder

An off the shoulder dress is one of our favorite summer wedding gown styles. Not only is it appropriate for the season, it’s a great way to show off your arms without committing to a fully strapless dress. Off the shoulder is also ideal for the warmer summer months as it helps keep you cool and allows for more movement. 

Embroidery Overlay

Summer is the perfect season to show off a bit more skin if you’re comfortable. This Maggie Sottero gown has a beautiful embroidered bodice complete with a light airy skirt. You can also take inspiration from the season and get creative with overlays such as floral appliqués on the bodice or skirt. 

Spaghetti Straps

For brides looking for a more simple summer wedding gown design, this Justin Alexander dress is elegant and chic with its thin spaghetti straps and clean silhouette to hug your curves. This also allows you to have more fun with your accessories such as jewelry, hair pieces or your bridal shoes. 

Summer Wedding Gowns with Flowing Train

This stunning Allure Bridals design has a bit of everything with an ethereal flowing train, breathable fabric and dainty floral appliqués. All eyes will be on you as you walk down the aisle with the train flowing beautifully behind you. We recommend opting for a lightweight train with airy fabric to help keep you cool and comfortable during summer, as well as being easier to maneuver.
