Planning a City Hall wedding or elopement? A bridal jumpsuit could be just the outfit for non-traditional nuptials. Looking for a head-turning bachelorette party look? Bridal jumpsuits stand out from the sea of dresses. Seeking something comfortable to change into for the reception or wedding after-party? Enter: the bridal jumpsuit.

Over the past few seasons, bridal jumpsuits have been gaining popularity and we’re here for it! Jumpsuits offer all the ease of a dress but bring an extra level of cool – not to mention comfort and versatility. A one-piece in white or ivory with a great fit and unique details says “bride” just as much as a little white dress, which is why traditional and non-traditional brides alike should consider adding a bridal jumpsuit to their wedding wardrobes. Take a look at some of our best bridal jumpsuits for all the events surrounding the wedding!

Bridal Shower

Style SDWG0931

For a daytime affair, look for bridal jumpsuits that are both laid-back and stylish. A jumpsuit is perfect for the bride who wants something comfortable (who doesn’t love pants?) but with a flare of elegance (like an oversized bow or lace bodice) for their bridal shower. This scalloped lace jumpsuit meets all our must-have criteria for a bridal jumpsuit. From the figure-flattering wide-leg pants to the modern plunging v-neckline, we’re obsessed!

Bachelorette or After Party

Style WGIN879

We love a look with some sparkle and shine! This hand-beaded linear jumpsuit is perfect for your bachelorette weekend or wedding after-party. On top of a touch of sparkle, it offers a ton of comfort all night long. For an edgier vibe, try adding a faux leather jacket that shows off your bridal status.

Ceremony

Style DB3230

For a non-traditional aisle look, we have jumpsuits with some serious glam factor! Details like a super-wide leg, statement sleeves, and gorgeous accents (from beading to lace) give off a vibe that is fit for even a more formal ceremony. This chic crepe jumpsuit with its crisp lines and trendy touches is perfect for your courthouse elopement or backyard minimony.

Love these looks? Explore our assortment of wedding and bridal jumpsuits! Plus, we have bridesmaid jumpsuits so the maids can jump in on the trend, too!

Thanks to inspirational content and insanely beautiful real brides all over Pinterest and Instagram, the standard of having a ‘true to you’ wedding has heightened. We have been so inspired by this nontraditional, alternative bride movement, from the getaway gal to City Hall I do’s, that we have an outfit for everyone no matter their ideal wedding-day style.

Short/High Low

Cropped hemlines are of-the-moment, for their versatility and accessorizing possibilities. The best part about these clean-slate styles is that you can really make the look your own. Rock your favorite shoes and everyday earrings for a casual feel, or go glam with a sparkly pump and over the top jewelry.

Pants/Jumpsuits

Pants please! Wearing separates or a jumpsuit on your wedding day isn’t just casual and comfortable, it’s the definition of chic. A crisp wide-leg, white pant and strappy crop top to match is the ultimate cool girl combo. Looking for something a tad more formal? Give our strapless jumpsuit a try. The greatest part about these styles is that you can (and will!) wear them again.

Simple/Effortless Sheaths

This is probably the easiest way to partake in the alternative bride trend without straying too far from wearing a long, white dress. Simple sheaths are easy and light weight options that can work for almost any wedding. It’s all about how you style it!

Not into wearing something other than a beautiful, long, white dress on your big day? Consider giving these looks a go for events surrounding your wedding, such as your rehearsal dinner or bridal shower. To help guide you in the right direction, explore our casual dress assortment, over 100 carefully selected styles that are perfect for the alternative bride. Remember, whatever you do, be you!
