Aside from the usual beach outings, summer treks and other outdoor thrills, the bright sun and clear skies of summer also mean weddings.
Hot weather conditions usually move the ceremony to coastal locations but beach or not, maxi dresses make the best wedding gowns because of their cool and flowy material. In them, brides look statuesque and beautiful. Plus they photograph dramatically.
We have here a collection of wedding gown maxi dresses, each breathtaking in their own right. It’s our wedding gown picks for the summer and let us know which one’s your favorite!
Faux Wrap Gown, $495.00, Alice + Olivia, Shopbop
This ivory faux-wrap gown makes our list because of the lovely silhouette and front ruching. We especially love the exposed back that gives this sweet dress a sexy touch.
Pleated Chiffon Long Dress, $626.50, Halston Heritage, Shopbop
These days, a lot of brides are breaking away from the traditional white dress and we like this long dress by Halston Heritage because it was done beautifully with pleated rose gold chiffon.
Beaded Maxi Strapless Dress, $495.00, Shoshanna, Shopbop
Embellishments should be done at a minimum because the bride in the dress itself is the true highlight. This ivory column gown does it tastefully with a cluster of gold beads on the pleated bodice. Masterpiece.
Tao Dress, $224.00, Rachel Pally, Shopbop
This cream dress by Rachel Pally is architectural but gentle and highly sophisticated. We love the thick straps that show off the shoulders. Fit for a modern queen.
Mariam Gown, $1,833.00, Leila Hafzi Bridal, Shopbop
Another blush-colored gown for the blushing bride. Organza is always romantic on a bridal gown and the empire waist will make the bride look like a Grecian goddess. J’adore!
All featured dresses are available on Shopbop.
