Unconventional Wedding Dresses: There's More Than Ball Gowns
Tradition may dictate a white ball gown as the typical wedding dress for brides but now we're seeing those boundaries breaking with the unconventional wedding dress for brides. Your wedding day is all about you and your partner. Brides are celebrating individuality with wedding dresses that aren't your typical designs.
In this Garter Girl Loves post we are sharing the unconventional wedding dresses brides are choosing and styles that may speak to you! Alternative wedding dress styles come in long, or short - edgy or soft...there are so many styles, let's find the right one to fit you.
Keep in mind that brides are breaking tradition in so many ways, including outfit changes on wedding day! That's right! On trend in wedding fashion right now is brides with two and three looks and outfit changes throughout the wedding day.
For example, brides will wear on wedding dress to the ceremony and change for the reception and maybe put on another new bridal look for the after party. Brides are also opting for 2-1 bridal looks where they can take off an overskirt or remove sleeves to reveal a completely different bridal style with just one main wedding dress.
So fun, right!? We are here for this unconventional bridal trend for sure!

Breaking Through 'The Norm' With An Unconventional Wedding Dress
Unique Colors
We love a wedding dress in an unconventional color! When choosing your bridal fashion, don't feel restricted to the typical white dress. Today, brides are opting for dresses in alternative, unexpected and unique colors including bold colors like deep burgundy, light pastels for an ethereal feel, or even sparkling hues.
Distinct Fabrics
We love a wedding dress in an unconventional fabric! You can say 'bye-bye' to satin on wedding dresses if you'd like...we won't say a thing! Now, brides are finding dresses in unexpected materials like velvet, lace, tulle and even leather. Wedding dresses in unconventional fabrics and texture offer a fresh eye-catching version of bridal fashion.
Embellished Details
We love a wedding dress with unconventional details! Who said you dress has to be all one color or all the same fabric? Let's embellish it! Embroidery, beading or sequins opens up the world of possibilities when it comes to an unconventional wedding dress. These creatively embellished designs help you show off your personal style as a bride on your wedding day.
Jumping Away From Dresses
We love a wedding dress in an unconventional style! You're the bride, who said you had to wear a dress anyways? Brides are wearing jumpsuits on their wedding day for a chic, sophisticated look. It's a fresh take on pants and still a dressed up version of fashion for you.
