Beach, city, destination, garden, museum, or vineyard? The location of your wedding can greatly influence the style of bridal gown that will best complement your dream venue.
Brides-to-be, have you chosen your venue and are now on the hunt for the perfect wedding dress? Team Lovely is here to assist! The place where you say “I Do” can shape the rest of your wedding details, from the color scheme to the level of formality, and of course, the wedding dress itself.
The goal is to find a dress that matches the ambiance and feel of the venue while making you feel like the best version of yourself. Maybe you’re not a fan of fitted styles but are getting married on the beach – we’d suggest a flowy, soft A-line style that will float beautifully with the breeze, without too many layers for sand to get trapped in! Perhaps you love a minimalist look and are saying “I Do” in an art museum – our pick is a simple silhouette with architectural details. We’re here to showcase our favorite dresses that we think best complement different venue styles: beach, city, destination, garden, museum, and vineyard.
From lacy, romantic gowns for a garden celebration to fluid silhouettes for a beachside wedding, Lovely Bride offers a variety of bridal gowns to match every venue style. Once you’ve checked out our favorite dress picks for each venue type, book an appointment to find your dream wedding dress at a Lovely Bride shop near you. Then, follow us on Instagram and Pinterest to stay updated on all things Lovely.
Beach
If you’re dreaming of a wedding day with lots of sunshine, a gentle breeze, and being barefoot in the sand, a beach venue is perfect for you. When choosing a wedding dress for seaside nuptials, the key is lightweight, fluid fabrics and silhouettes that allow for ease of movement. A good beach wedding dress should be easy to wear and comfortable for that effortless, coastal vibe.

City
City venues are located in bustling urban centers and can range from swanky hotels to architectural and industrial buildings, historic city halls, and chic restaurants and bars. Think bright lights and stunning skylines – we believe a polished look that lets the bride shine is ideal for a metropolitan affair. We love the idea of playing up the locale with wedding dresses that are sleek and sexy, with details like a folded neckline and simple but elegant straps or sleeves.

Garden
Whether it’s a lush estate in the countryside, a botanical conservatory, or a sprawling urban park, garden weddings embrace and invite nature into the celebration. With beautiful blooms, verdant grounds, stunning trees, and picturesque views, we think a wedding dress inspired by the foliage is the perfect match. Gowns with floral and vine lace, 3D appliqué, and flowing silhouettes are our picks.

Vineyard
Vineyards are inherently celebratory venues due to the libations and revelry. We envision fruitful orchards, lush groves, spacious surroundings, and rustic details. The perfect winery wedding dress is not too formal and has romantic touches, such as dreamy laces and flowy skirts, with a touch of whimsy to complement the elegant backdrop.
