With no further a due, these are the wedding dresses handpicked by fabulous wedding bloggers around the world. Prepare yourself for some major bridal inspiration!
Amy from Chic Vintage Brides
“It would have to be lace and long sleeved. I got married before the Kate effect, but as a vintage loving gal I have always adored sleeves and they are so utterly perfect for an Autumn wedding. Oh and it would have volume, because I went slinky first time round. I’d also wear a veil (to hide my tears as I walk down the aisle) and a vintage wax flower crown – my Nan wore one on her wedding day and I love their delicate beauty”

Sara from Burnett’s Boards
“This would be the hardest choice in the world – the thing that makes me weak in the knees time and time again as a wedding blogger is the fashion! I’ve got so many style crushes – this choice would be nearly impossible. With that said, for a reimagining of our wedding I’d definitely be one of those blessed brides who wears two or three dresses for her big day, and maybe even a fourth and fifth for the bridal session and rock the dress shoot. So spoiled – I know. But wedding dresses and bridal fashion is my thing! I’d also be a lot more adventurous with my looks. For the reception I would don something colored, patterned, or a black gown, but definitely not white or ivory – I’d save that look for the ceremony!”
Megan from Glamour & Grace
“My dress was one of my regrets from my wedding. It was nice and everyone said they loved it, but I didn’t feel it was ‘me’. I am obsessed with this gorgeous Tatyana Merenyuk gown. When I was little and dreamed and sketched wedding dresses (all little girls did that right?), I always drew a gown with off the shoulder sleeves like this. I am still in love with the look today! Also, I did a more vintage styled birdcage veil for my wedding and I definitely think I would go for a gorgeous cathedral veil now (opposites I know, but the look is so dreamy!)”

Emily from Bespoke Bride
“To be honest I am not one of those girls that has dreamt up my dream wedding dress but as I write for a wedding blog for a living, it would be difficult to not have some idea of how I would like my wedding dress to look? I wouldn’t mind having a colored wedding dress but I am not sure if I would go big or more chic? I would definitely need to try them on! If we were to get married on a beach I probably wouldn’t worry about shoes too much?”
Louise from B.LOVED
“I have a different ‘favorite ever’ wedding dress practically every week, and I am so lucky to have met and worked with some fabulous designers in my years as a blogger and stylist. If I did it all again, I’d probably chose something by David Fielden. His style is contemporary, fashion-forward and yet feminine and romantic. Oh, and I’d definitely go big, I mean, when else do you get to twirl in a full tulle gown?! I’d wear a pair of bespoke shoes from Harriet Wilde, her designs are just exquisite”

Ariana from Hey Wedding Lady
“When it comes to my wedding day style, I would want to go classic all the way. I love to cover wedding dress trends, but I would definitely pick something timeless, a gown I can look back on from my umpteenth anniversary and still love. Sweeping skirts, a hint of sparkle, and delicate cap sleeves are at the top of my list! I have a serious cardigan addition – I would definitely want a berry or sequin cover up for the evening”
Jasmine from My Hotel Wedding
“To be honest, part of me dreads the day that I begin wedding dress shopping. While I’m terribly picky about fashion, I also find myself falling in love with about 100 wedding dresses a day (thank you, Pinterest!). So when it comes to finding THE dress for me, I think it’s going to be a very long process. I definitely want something simple, flowy, and feminine. I’m obsessed with heeled booties, so I’ll probably splurge on a special pair for my wedding“
Esther from Belle & Chic
“For the dress, I’d definitely add some more romance this time around. Being afraid of the “princess bride” image, I shied away from voluminous skirts back when I got married. Today I know that there are many (non-tacky) ways of “feeling like a princess” and I’d embrace volume and other traditional bridal elements like a veil. And yes, I re-imagine myself floating on a cloud of tulle…”
Chelsea from Tidewater and Tulle
“Buttons, lace, and sleeves! When I got married 5 years ago, bridal sleeves were not in vogue, and so I settled on a halter styled gown with a navy blue sash. While it was pretty, my heart has always wanted sleeves. So in this dream wedding of mine, sleeves I will have! Pretty lace three-quartered ones.Since I’m not much of a shoe girl, simple jewel-toned ballet flats would do just fine”
Gillian from Coastal Bride
“I would pick a gown with movement in perhaps a subtle shade of blush. I also really love the flower crown trend so would want to wear one for the reception”
