These are the wedding dresses you’ll want to wear long after you say, “I do”

Let’s be honest, not everyone wants to be a Princess on their big day. While we are all in favour of big, poufy wedding dresses, some modern brides prefer to take a more fashion forward approach and are focused on finding a dress that accurately reflects their personal style, rather than conforming to a certain mould. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up eight of the best non-traditional wedding dresses (and suits) from the SS19 shows so far, which are perfect for the modern day bride.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

Noon by Noor SS19

Destination weddings are becoming hugely popular and for those of you heading off for some sun, sea and sand, you’ll want a dress that’s light and will move beautifully with the seabreeze, just like this midi dress with sheer sleeves from Noon by Noor.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

Pamella Roland SS19

There’s no denying the elegance of a sheath or column style wedding dress, they are perfect for the bride who wants to show off her curves in a sleek and tasteful way. This design from Pamella Roland’s SS19 collection hugs in all the right places and shows just the right amount of skin.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

Tom Ford SS19

Reminiscent of the fringed frocks worn in the 1920s, this white gown by Tom Ford has a vintage feel ideal for brides looking for a bit of old school glamour.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

Tadashi Shoji SS19

A style both modern and feminine, this lace dress from Tadashi Shoji is perfect for a garden wedding or a bohemian bride who’s looking for something a little different.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

For SS19, Chinese fashion designer Lan Yu sent a host of magical designs down the runway, but what really caught our eye was this beautiful white lace suit complete with a tulle cape. It’s the ideal option for the ultimate cool girl who’s dreading the thought of having to drag a heavy wedding dress around all day.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

Offering a blend of different cultures and different times, this little house on the prairie style dress from Ulla Johnson is perfect for brides who love the idea of unique no fuss style.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

Jonathan Simkhai SS19

Flattering off-the-shoulder wedding dresses are a great way to do strapless if you don’t want to flash too much flesh, and this design from Jonathan Simkhai is fashion forward without being too over the top.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses

Tory Burch SS19

Known for her vintage-meets-far-flung aesthetic, Tory Burch began her career under Vera Wang so it’s no surprise that her designs often make the perfect non-traditional wedding dresses. This peach dress from her SS19 show is ideal for those of you who want to avoid white.
