Little White Dresses

Styles SDWG1135, DB3230 & SDWG1049

Nothing says “I’m getting married” like the perfect white outfit, and having a few little white dresses on hand will ensure you always have something to wear to your pre-wedding events. From classy full-coverage dresses to fun, flirty frocks, shopping for little white dresses can be almost (almost) as fun as picking out your wedding dress.

Shoes

Styles SBBRISA, SBBRET & RISSA

While you might have elegant bridal shoes picked out to walk down the aisle in, at your pre-wedding bridal events, you can have a lot of fun! For the engagement party, bridal shower and bachelorette party, many brides pick a pair of bridal heels that reflect their personality, whether it’s something striking and sparkly or soft and feminine. If you’d rather go for comfort, opt for a fun bridal sneaker that will ensure you shine at your events!

Jackets

Styles DDBOBBIE, OW2176 & IH84181KUV

When it comes to bridal outerwear at your pre-wedding events, it’s all about having fun! A quirky jacket is the perfect thing to throw over your outfit if you’re worried you might get cold. And don’t be afraid to showcase your personality when picking one; they make for great pictures!

Purses

Styles HBLILY, EB3433DBX & HBKAYA

When picking out what to wear to your pre-wedding events, don’t forget the bridal accessories! A chic handbag can be both functional and fun, and we won’t judge you if you need to grab one for each occasion.

Jewelry

Styles 10070824BR, SP223347E, SP23N220103 & 497883EP003

Your pre-wedding bridal events are the perfect time to test-run jewelry, hair, and makeup styles for the big day. Are you going to wear your hair back, with statement jewels? Or maybe your hair is the statement, and you need something simpler for the big day. Now’s the time to stock up and have fun trying everything from dainty pearl necklaces to sparkly bridal earrings.

Figuring out what to wear to your pre-wedding events is a great opportunity to showcase your personality and have fun with bridal fashion. At David’s, you can find everything you need for your engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, and more!

Planning a December, January or February wedding? Dress for the season with lacy sleeves, intricate layers, and warm wraps! Ready to find the perfect dress for your winter wedding? Read on for some winter wedding dress ideas to get you started!

Ball Gowns

Style WG3979

Layers are a must for a wintery wedding day, consider a ball gown with endless yards of organza, lace, or tulle! Ball gowns with intricate lace and beading are perfect for a more traditional bridal look. For a more updated touch, try a sleek and unembellished ball gown for a modern and sophisticated bridal style! If the temp calls for even more cold weather, put on tights underneath your dress for added warmth (no one will be able to tell!).

Lace Wedding Dresses

Style MS251205

Mixing textures add warmth and depth to your winter wedding look! A gown with a combination of ornate lace and tonal beading mimics the intricacy of a snowflake. You can opt for an all-over lace dress or one with perfectly placed lace touches.

Long Sleeves

Style SWG820

A gorgeous gown with lace-adorned long sleeves will keep your arms from feeling chilly on the big day. No matter what silhouette you choose, long sleeves are the perfect way to show off more lace or beaded detail on your gown! Plus, an illusion fabric makes this coverage elegant and adds another dimension to your look.

Subtle Hues

Style SWG862

Blush tones and champagne hues are a subtle alternative to a traditional white gown that will stand out against a snowy backdrop. Soft shades add an ultra-romantic and whimsical touch to your wintery wedding. Consider these off-white tones when finding your winter wedding dress.

Winter Bridesmaid Dresses

Style F20065 & F20131

Dress your wedding party in bridesmaid dresses which feature deep, dark shades that bring to mind a long winter’s night. Rich shades add a pop of color in the wintery months. Sophisticated hues, like Wine and Steel Blue, complement the winter season beautifully. A fabric like satin offers a luxurious shine to contrast the wintery landscape.

Winter Wedding Accessories

Style OW2137, ETTA, IH8481KURH

You’ve found the dress, and now it’s time to accessorize! Stylishly banish the brrrs with a faux-fur capelet. These luxe shawls are equal parts cozy and glamorous, and they pair perfectly with strapless wedding dresses. Looking for a more edgy touch? This vegan leather moto jacket is the perfect addition! Show off your ‘Just Married’ status and stay warm in this chic jacket. We can’t forget about the shoes! No need for your toes to hide all season. Pick a pair with icicle-like crystals to brighten things up!

Sandy beaches and romantic gardens make for stunning wedding ceremony backdrops, but an outdoor wedding may leave you wondering what you should wear on your feet. Sinking heels are a no-go when battling grass, sand, or uneven surfaces. We’re sharing our picks for the ideal outdoor wedding shoes for the bride, bridal party and guests too.

Sandals

Style STEVEE, AUBREE, GEMMA

While sandals are especially perfect for a beach wedding, the flat soles are ideal for any wedding venue. Whether you change into them for dancing or are just simply not a heel girl, a pair of sandals are the foolproof solution to any wedding shoe catastrophes. Choosing a pair with added jewels will help keep the look chic while adding some bling. Tying the knot in the sand and want to ditch shoes completely? Foot jewelry  is a pretty finishing touch.

Flats

Style TYME, AVIE, ANTONIA

Similar to sandals, flats are a top choice for all day comfort, especially for a more formal event or venue. The absence of a heel makes mingling around the reception and twirling around the dance floor a breeze!

Wedges

Style ETTA, SHYLA, FRIEND

Looking for a little added heel height but don’t want to compromise on built-in stability? Wedding wedges keep you above ground for the day-of. They offer the allure of a heel but the comfort of a flat. The flat platform will help you better navigate around uneven surfaces and keep you from sinking in. And best of all, with so many options to choose from, you’ll find a favorite with details fit for a formal (think winery) or more casual (like a backyard) affair.

Block Heels

Style KAYA, CALE, RISSA

You can never go wrong with a trendy block heel! The thick heel offers more balance and makes walking in them so much easier than a pair of sky high stilettos. Where a thin heel risks sinking into the grass, a block heel will keep you stable and makes walking across an outdoor venue easy and effortless.

Heel Helpers

If you are totally a pump or heel girl and can’t bear to part with the perfect shoe for your gown, we totally understand. Place a cap on your heel for minimal sinking and for some added support. The Solemates heel protector (available at your local store!) makes uneven surfaces stable and grassy lawns impenetrable. Win/win!

The style options are endless when it comes to finding the perfect pair of shoes for your outdoor event! With so many different styles, you don’t have to compromise on the look you are going for. For more inspiration for your outdoor wedding shoes, our unconventional bridal shoe guide has even more possibilities to offer! Find these styles and more at your local David’s Bridal or shop with us online at davidsbridal.com!

You’ve found the dress, so now it’s time to complete your look with accessories! From a gorgeous veil to a statement pair of shoes, get ready to find all the items you can’t walk down the aisle without. Keep reading for all our top essential wedding accessories for the bride-to-be.

Veils

Style V428, V807L, 334

Our first essential: a veil! A timeless bridal accessory that will never go out of style, a veil is a must-have for any bride who is dreaming of a classic bridal look. From a long, dramatic cathedral-length veil to a sweet embellished mid-length veil, there’s a style for every bride! Even if you’re having a casual elopement or minimony, a veil is still totally appropriate and can give a simpler look an elevated bridal feel.

Headpieces

Style C8168, H1077

Whether you’re planning on styling your hair up or down on your big day, complete your look with some beautiful bridal hair accessories! Consider combs, clips, headbands, or tiaras embellished with crystals, pearls or 3D florals to adorn your day-of ‘do. These delicate must-haves are ideal for keeping your hair in place as you dance the night away!

Jewelry

Style 20071975, 10070835, BB190060

What’s a special look without some jewelry?! Depending upon your style and the design of the dress, you can either don earrings, necklace, bracelets, and rings or just a few of your favs to complete your look. For a traditional take on wedding jewels, opt for a monochromatic look in your go-to silver, gold, or rose-gold finish. More of a modern bride? Try mixing metals or wearing a statement jewelry piece for a look that is oh-so-you.

Sashes

Style S2067, BLT10155, BLT10065

There’s no such thing as too much bling! Pull your entire bridal look together with a sparkling sash. A bridal sash is perfect for adding definition to your waist and giving some added detail to your wedding gown. Tie your sash back to your bridal jewelry for a cohesive look.

Shoes

Style MOXXI, FRANKA, RENZO73X

Every bride needs her very own pair of ‘glass slippers’ when waking down the aisle. Sparkle with every step in a chic pair of crystal-embellished platform heels or pointed-toe pumps! Planning a casual wedding? Try styling a trendy block heel or classic wedge.

Lingerie

Style 2650BD, D039, 5310963O

These unmentionables are definitely worth mentioning. Every bride deserves to look and feel confident on the big day, so why not treat yourself to some fun under the dress styles. From delicate lace to sheer details and pops of blue, the options are endless when it comes to wedding day lingerie. For more sweet & seductive styles for the wedding day and beyond check out our exclusive Galina Signature lingerie collection.

From your earliest pre-wedding events to the after-party, our bridal shoe picks are definitely marriage material. We’ve rounded up pairs for the comfy-casual or the ultra-glam bride—and everyone in between, for the ultimate guide to wedding shoes for the bride! Check out our faves below (and maybe discover your own!). 

Pre-Wedding Events

Style VERONA38, CORINNE, MOXXI (coming soon!)

For the most part, the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner are a touch more casual than the vow exchange. These shoes bring just the right amount of elegance and shine while keeping you comfortable through all the hugs, photo ops, and speeches. 

Comfy Chic

Style RISSA, MAVIS7, SHARON2

If the thought of standing in heels all day has you daydreaming of a foot massage, try a block heel. The chunkier base provides more balance than your typical stiletto, while still adding tasteful height to your ceremony attire. 

Something Blue

Style EDWINA & SBDEB

You’ve gathered the old and the new, you’ve borrowed…now it’s time for the blue! Ensure your wedding-day luck with a pair of shoes in a subtly blue hue. 

Sparkle With Every Step

Style FRANKA, SBBRET

For the glamorous bride that can’t get enough glitter, shimmering shoes are a must. Strike up a conversation in a pair of sparkling sneakers or go for a more established look with pave crystal stilettos. 

Tried & True

Style SBJAMES, TASSI (coming soon!) 

Traditional is anything but boring in these styles. Classic bridal heels withstand the test of time with exquisite fabrics, superior silhouettes, and, of course, a little oomph. A stunning stiletto with a touch of dazzle is sure to wow. 

Your walk down the aisle will be memorable in any shoe you choose, but it can’t hurt to have a little extra confidence in your step. Shop these shoes and more online, plus find more inspiration on our  Pinterest!

A beautiful veil moment brought to you by YOU! There’s no question a veil is the perfect finishing touch to any bridal look. And what’s better than a regular veil? One that’s one-of-a-kind! Get ready to create your very own custom wedding veil in just a few easy steps. Eager to start designing? Keep reading for a full guide on how to create your own custom veil with David’s Bridal.

1: Choose a color

The first decision to make when it comes to your one-of-a-kind veil is choosing a color. You could match your wedding dress with shades like white, ivory, or champagne; add a pop of color to your look with a blush veil; or make a statement as you float down the aisle with an all-over glitter veil.

2: Pick a length

Next, choose from 5 classic veil lengths to find your perfect match. Go for easy-breezy, ultra-dramatic, or somewhere in the middle. Our 2022 brides love the walking veil, which typically lands between a bride’s knees and feet. It’s the perfect length if you’re looking to make a statement without the fuss of a veil that touches the ground.

3: Select your trim

First comes length, then comes trim. Either leave your trim raw or pick a lace, finished, metallic, or satin cord edge. Trends we’re loving for this season? Romantic lace for a classic bridal look or a raw edge for an effortless style that is guaranteed to pair back to any dress.

4: Add embellishments

For the bride who’s looking to add that final special touch, you’ll get the option to personalize your veil with some sweet embellishments. Currently, we’re loving the pearlcore trend! But if you want to add some sparkle to your look, you can’t go wrong with some dazzling crystals.

Custom Wedding Veil FAQs

How much does it cost?

Your custom veil can range between $49.95-$349.95

How long will it take for my custom veil to come in?

Veils arrive within 2 weeks of ordering.

Can I create my custom veil in-store?

Yes, one of our in-store stylists can help walk you through the process and assist you in placing your custom order.

Can I choose more than one option for my embellishments?

Currently, you can only choose up to one option for embellishments.
