There really is no better way to say it: David’s Bridal has a dress for every bride, on any kind of budget. Quite a statement to make, but one that bears truth, particularly when you consider that one out of three U.S. brides chooses to walk down the aisle in a gown from David’s Bridal (just for some perspective 😉). David’s Bridal sponsored this gorgeous photo shoot with an amazing crew of wedding professionals, scroll down to to see them all.

If you’re starting the hunt for THE DRESS, beginning your journey at one of David’s Bridal’s 300+ stores - located in the United States. Canada, England or Puerto Rico - is the best way to dive in. Especially if you have a clue about your ‘I Do’ ideology. Keep scrolling for a loose curl hair tutorial as well.

Why does that matter?

Well, you’re going to have a lot of decision making to do while you’re planning your wedding, and having an overall vibe to guide your choice in venue and vendors, fashion and flowers, food and fete-feel is pretty important. You certainly don’t need to pigeonhole yourself as a bride, but when you start considering just how many options you have at your disposal, it helps to eliminate some things you probably won’t like or, instead, zero in on the stuff you know you’ll ❤️.

David’s Bridal offers eight exclusive labels carefully curated with bride style in mind. From traditional to modern, boho to regal, vintage to old school glamour, you can explore them all to find something that feels like it was made specifically for you ((and it is, TBH - many David’s Bridal wedding dresses are made-to-order and hand-embellished with artisan skill, requiring as many as 100 hours of effort. Each gown is thoughtfully designed to flatter your figure and crafted with the utmost care)).

Traditional versus timeless. What’s the difference?

Things that are traditional will always be timeless, but when it comes to wedding fashion, traditional and timeless aren’t exactly one in the same. Traditional silhouettes are the popular, widely-accepted ones and might include A-line, trumpet, ball gown styles, along with classic necklines like strapless, sweetheart, halters, v-necks. Whereas timeless styles have a bit more periodic panache. They aren’t always everyone’s cup of tea, but they have a signature flair that will stand the test of time.

Take a peek at the David’s Bridal Collection, brimming with traditional, classic and approachable aesthetics at above-and-beyond affordable price points.
