23 best maternity wedding dresses, if you're set to walk down the aisle expecting
It's 2024: you can have a baby before you get married, but you can also get married before the baby is born in one of the best maternity wedding dresses. Hopefully without a whisper of “shotgun wedding”, too.
Today, modern brides are choosing to walk down the aisle and make it official before the arrival of their newborn, and more power to them. After all, if you thought organising a wedding while pregnant was hard, just think how much more difficult it could get once a baby arrives on the scene to take up all your attention.
Obviously, on your wedding day, you want to look and feel your absolute best. And why not make the most of that pregnancy glow, hey? The key is to opt for silhouettes and structured styles that can fit around your growing body; empire waists will sit nicely above your bump allowing the skirt to delicately drape no matter your size.
The number of maternity wedding dresses out there for fashion-forward (and expectant) brides is growing with speed, with retailers like ASOS, Seraphine and Tiffany Rose releasing their own iterations. And there are a huge variety of bridal styles, no less – from boho to sequin-clad ball gowns and more traditional maternity wedding dresses adorned in lace. Plus, plenty of them are pleasingly affordable and available on the high street. More money for a fancy bridal clutch bag, then.
And if you've always dreamed of a designer wedding dress, there are plenty of gorgeous white and ivory flowing gowns on Net-A-Porter that could work as maternity friendly wedding dresses, while some of our mid-priced designer favourites are at Rixo, including party-friendly numbers featuring feather trims.
