Modern Wedding Dresses

From unexpected three-dimensional appliqués and innovative texture to sleek, streamline silhouettes, there are countless bridal designers who are taking advantage of these unforgettable trends that exude a modern aesthetic.

Pnina Tornai, Tony Ward, Rivini, Enaura Bridal, Anna Campbell, Jane Hill, and Nicole + Felicia are just a few of our world renowned designers who have cultivated an exquisite collection of modern wedding dresses thanks to their exceptional craftsmanship and couture methods.

From sleek sheath silhouettes to breathtaking ball gowns, there are a wide variety of silhouettes that cater to the modern bride. Seeking an ultra contemporary look? Opt for something other than a dress. Say “yes” to a jumpsuit or a mini paired with an overskirt. The options are endless! Due to the modern aesthetic’s versatility and innovation, there is a look for every body type, bridal style, and individual preferences.

While traditional bridal fabrics such as satin, crepe, and lace can certainly be found amongst modern designs, there are also innovative fabrics that have emerged into the bridal scene. Designers are utilizing texture, never-before-seen embellishment, and embossed materials, such as printed organza and jacquard, to create unconventional bridal looks. Lightweight materials that feature silky finishes are also highly adored amongst the modern style as it exudes a simple and streamline ensemble.

Modern wedding dresses can be identified by their uniquely exquisite designs that are not typically seen on traditional wedding gowns. Features such as cutouts, daringly low backs, asymmetrical necklines, unconventional beading or embroidery, as well as minimalistic designs are just a few of the ways in which bridal designers add contemporary flair.
