When you can’t choose between a short dress or a maxi, enter high-low hems (aka the best of both worlds). Fit for any special occasion, cropped high-low dresses are sassy in the front, yet classy in the back. Don’t forget to add a statement heel to your cart and a pedicure to your to-do list.

For the bride
While a little unconventional, high-low wedding dresses strike the perfect balance between charming and chic. A statement train feels traditional while the peek-a-boo front is a modern twist.

For the ‘maids
The bridal party can partake in the trend, too! Sleek satin, lace appliqued, or airy chiffon dresses in a wide range of colors are perfect for any wedding venue.

For the MOB & MOG
We know that mom is looking for a sophisticated yet stylish look for her son or daughter’s special day. Elegant lace, bows, or florals make this high-low look stand out.

For prom
With the big dance taking place in the late Spring/early Summer, a high-low prom dress is breezy while still formal. Cut outs, embroidery, and all-over prints elevate this playful silhouette.

Are you considering a high-low dress for your next occasion? Book your appointment to find the style for you!

Choosing your wedding color is one of the first steps of wedding planning. It dictates almost every decision that comes later, from your save the dates to your flowers. For Spring 2018 we added a bold new hue – Sunflower – to our assortment of yellow bridesmaid dresses. Touted as the top color trend of the year by Pantone during NYFW, the hue is ‘a confident and outgoing bright… glistening with joy and illuminating the world around us.’ That’s some good wedding-day juju if we’ve ever heard any!

Inspired by real bridal parties and trend explorations, we knew it was time for a fresh take on yellow for our #DBMaids. The best part about Sunflower is its versatility. When you think ‘yellow bridesmaid dresses’, you may initially think summer is the only season this shade can shine. Not the case! Sunflower’s richness pairs beautifully with greys, pinks, reds, and blues, perfect for spring and fall weddings, too. Plus, in true David’s fashion, we offer everything from shoes and ribbon to wedding decorations in Sunflower yellow making for endless ways to coordinate your day.

Whether you opt for an all Sunflower bridal party or pops of bold yellow here-and-there, we can’t wait to see how you style our new favorite shade! Still deciding on the shade for the big day? Explore more color pairings on real girls for the ultimate inspiration.

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!

Everyone deserves to feel beautiful on their wedding day, no matter their style, size, or budget. We’re happy to offer dresses for all brides in a full range of sizes, from petite to plus to extra length, and this season we’ve introduced five new styles that are exclusive to our Plus Size collection. What sets these Plus Size wedding dresses apart from our already vast assortment? First, our Plus Size collection is designed using a size 18 fit model – versus the industry standard size 8 – to ensure a perfect fit. In addition, we’ve created wedding dresses with supportive straps, a little extra coverage, flattering silhouettes that accentuate all your best curves, and pretty, opulent details so you feel confident and comfortable on your wedding day.

Did you count six? That’s because the last two are the same dress! We love a gown that has removable details, perfect for the transition from the ceremony to reception.
