When it comes to celebrating your big day, what better way to reign in the good vibes than with a sparkling flute of bubbly? The good news is, champagne isn’t just reserved for the wedding toast –– it’s a queenly, luxurious, on-trend color for bridal party dresses, too. And the best part is champagne hues are all-season and extremely versatile, complementing all skin tones and venues, whether it’s a garden wedding or formal ceremony.

The first thing to consider is the undertone (warm/cool, blush, neutral/beige, yellow, gold) and make sure it matches up with your overall wedding color palette. “You want to get the right champagne color,” says style expert and fashion consultant Beverly Osemwenkhae of ProjectBee, aka Beverly O. “Champagne colors that have a yellow undertone can easily wash someone out, so focus on a champagne hue that's a little richer,” she says. And if you’re opting for a bride party dressed in gradient shades, Beverly recommends going with a rose blush undertone. “It’s fun to have a gradient of shades in one color. It’s very modern and photographs beautifully.”

Next, you want to consider the fabric, fit, and style. Beverly O recommends opting for fabrics with a touch of sheen (like silk or satin) in order to emphasize the regal quality of the color. If you’re going for a flowy, timeless look, silk and satin also tend to drape well on the body. Lightweight chiffon and tulle look whimsical during the spring and summer months, and we’re especially loving the trending floral and embroidered styles this season. 

Whether you’re looking for a minimalist-chic maxi, a classic A-line satin gown, or an ultra-glam silhouette, we’ve selected the best champagne dresses in a variety of textures, shades, and price points to suit just about every style and budget. 

Best Minimalist

Lulus

Chic and affordable (as far as bridal party dresses go), this minimalist gown works well for either a laid-back seaside wedding or a formal summer ceremony. The soft, satin fabric hugs curves with its fitted bodice and column silhouette with a little extra flow at the bottom. We’re loving the side slit, sexy V-back, heavy material (which means it's not see-through), and the fact that it can be dressed up or down according to your accessories. Wearers note that the undertone is a bit on the cool side, so this dress will flatter darker or cool-toned complexions.

Most Glam

Lovers and Friends Heidi Gown

Lovers and Friends Heidi Gown

Revolve

For a little old Hollywood glamor, this satin jacquard gown by Lovers and Friends does the trick. The one shoulder with a peek-a-boo cutout on the chest gives flirty vibes, and we’re obsessed with the cascading ruffled hem, shimmering, textured fabric, and strappy open-back design. Pairs well with satin ankle-strap heels or peep-toe heels. Captivating and alluring, it’s the perfect dress for channeling your inner glam goddess.

Best Slip

ASTR The Label Palisades Cowl Neck Maxi Dress

ASTR The Label

“A classic slip dress is forever timeless,” style expert Beverly O says. Let’s face it, most bridesmaid dresses don’t see the light of day after the wedding and that’s why a slip dress is a good investment piece. Wearers say this flowy, champagne-rose dress by ASTR can be dressed up or down and easily reworn for other occasions. We love the cross back design (plus the fact that it’s pull-on with adjustable spaghetti straps) and most wearers remark that it’s true to size.

ASOS

For a breezy spring wedding, try this pleated, lightweight tulle dress from ASOS Design. It’s a classy and delicate design featuring fine netting with fixed straps for a flowy, whimsical look. We loved the button placket in the back with an adjustable bow, as well as the slightly blush undertone.

Best Dramatic Sweep

Show Me Your Mumu Faith Maxi Dress

Show Me Your Mumu 

Elegant and regal, this luxe satin maxi was designed to make a grand entrance. We’re loving the full skirt, subtle sheen, and adjustable straps, but the fitted bodice means that those with a larger bust may want to size up. The Faith Maxi in champagne has more of a beige-gold undertone, so this pick would work well with a warm wedding color palette.

Best Slit

NBD Lila Gown

NBD Lila Gown

Revolve

This NBD gown offers just the right amount of opulence and allure with its high slit and sheen finish. Wearers mention it’s true to size and with the adjustable shoulder straps, you can change the length just a bit. The partially-lined satin fabric has a neutral tone and we recommend pairing this look with strappy satin or metallic heels and gold drop earrings.

Best Halter Neck

AQUA Foil Knit Halter Gown

AQUA Foil Knit Halter Gown

Bloomingdale's

For an ultra-regal, feminine look, this metallic knit gown will do the trick. Featuring a banded waist and high-stretch fabric, it’s flattering for all figures and offers just the right amount of shine to complement the rich, champagne color. Wearers rave about the quality of the fabric and flow of the dress. The delicate halter neck and floor-swept skirt gives a Grecian feel, but the best part is, the dress has two pockets (thank you, yes).

Best Patterned Dress

Rixo Liberty Poppy Pattern Dress

Rixo Liberty Poppy Pattern Dress

We’re absolutely loving this vintage-inspired, poppy pattern dress. It comes in two shades (ivory and gold) rather than “classic” champagne, but the hand-designed pattern and jacquard fabric makes it worth considering. Featuring a rounded neckline, flutter cap sleeves, ruffled hem, and bias-cut skirt for fluid movement, this dress would look ultra-sophisticated at an outdoor wedding. Pair  with yellow or rose gold accessories and minimalist flats or ankle-strap heels.

Reformation Andee Dress

It’s high-time to show off those shoulders with this open-back, champagne stunner. The romantic halter maxi cinches at the waist to show off your figure, and we’re loving the elegant, drapey neck and back ties. Made with a lightweight georgette fabric, the coquettish slit allows for easy movement, and the rose-blush undertone means it’s sure to flatter all skin tones.

Best Embroidery

Lulus Dazzled Up Champagne Embroidered Backless Maxi Dress

Lulus Dazzled Up Champagne Embroidered Backless Maxi Dress

Lulus

For a dazzling walk down the aisle (and a night on the dance floor), this floral embroidered gem will turn heads. Perfect for an evening wedding, the princess-seamed bodice hugs hips to create a mermaid silhouette and the modest apron neckline offsets the sexy, thigh-high slit. Since the fabric doesn’t stretch, this dress isn’t ideal for larger bust wearers (the brand recommends A to C cup sizes) and it’s best to size up if you hold weight in your belly and hips. Pair with strappy, neutral heels and either silver or gold accessories.

Best Textured

NBD Davis Gown

NBD Davis Gown

Revolve

With its subtle vertical lines and lustrous fabric, this NBD Davis gown is ideal for a balmy, summer wedding. It’s fully lined, has an adjustable ruched front so you can control the height of the thigh-high slit, and has adjustable shoulder straps to get the fit just right. Wearers say the nude color leans on the pink side, but the dress hugs in all the right places. Pairs well with metallic mules or strappy mid-heels.

Best Slip 2

BHLDN Cali Satin Cowl-Neck Midi Slip Dress

BHLDN Cali Satin Cowl-Neck Midi Slip Dress

Anthropologie

Given the on-trend versatility of slips, we decided to add one more to the mix. This draped, cowl-neck midi from Anthropologie includes daring side slits, and we love it because it comes in plus sizes. The silky material has a good weight and sheen to it, but wearers say it runs a little large. Midis are great choices in general, though, since they can be hemmed to a shorter length if that suits the wedding aesthetic.

Best Long-Sleeve

Astr The Label Marin Midi Dress

It’s not common to find a long-sleeved champagne dress, but this sophisticated midi takes the win. This satin-finish, luxe gown is all-season, but it’d be especially lovely for a winter wonderland ceremony. It features a draped silhouette that cinches at the waist, V-cut back, and vintage-inspired dolman sleeves recontextualized for modern times. Wearers remark that it’s true to size and the quality is rated as excellent.

Best Modest/Timeless

Alfred Sung Jewel Neck Asymmetrical Shirred Bodice Maxi Dress with Pockets

Alfred Sung Jewel Neck Asymmetrical Shirred Bodice Maxi Dress with Pockets

Dessy Group

One of our favs in the roundup is this timeless, satin twill maxi designed by Alfred Sung. The sweeping effect of the bodice is ultra-flattering and the full A-line skirt includes pockets, which is always a plus for any dress. The high-neck combined with a low V-back balances the look, making it a polished, graceful statement piece. The website has robust sizing recommendations for an accurate fit, along with detailed instructions on how to take your measurements, and you can add up to 5 extra inches to the length, if needed.

Ideal for a wedding party dressed in gradient colors, this iridescent gown beautifully catches the light and features a classic silhouette and free-flowing skirt (note that there’s no slit). We’re loving the exposed, crisscross back and wearers remark on its overall comfortability. Since it has golden undertones, it’s a great choice for a warmer wedding color palette.

Size: XXS-XXL | Materials: Silky Fabric/Polyester | Length: Floor Length

Best Sequin

Needle & Thread Amalie Sequin V-Neck Gown

Needle & Thread Amalie Sequin V-Neck Gown

Needle & Thread

Needle and Thread’s Amalie gown is a far cry from the disco days of gaudy sequins. Floral and x-motifs adorn the shimmering, layered tulle skirt for a delicate shimmering effect and the cool thing is the lining and sequins are both made from upcycled materials for a sustainable edge. While it’s a bit pricey for a single bridesmaid dress, we’re pretty confident this short-sleeved, iridescent gem will make its way out of your closet more than once, especially during the spring and summer seasons.

Most Flattering Maxi

Lulus Thoughts of Hue Surplice Maxi Dress

Lulus Thoughts of Hue Surplice Maxi Dress

Lulus

Lulus has some of the best price points out there for bridal party dresses, as well as classy, drapey designs that work on all body types. The surplice, banded bodice cinches at your natural waist and transforms into a cascading, flowy skirt for a super flattering look (especially if you carry weight in your mid-section, hips, and thighs). We’re loving the heavenly rose-blush undertone to complement all skin tones and wearers remark you can go bra-less in it.

Best Wrap

Lulus My Whole Heart Cream Long Sleeve Wrap Maxi Dress

Lulus My Whole Heart Cream Long Sleeve Wrap Maxi Dress

Lulus

While it’s creamier than a classic champagne hue, this sweeping, romantic maxi wrap is great for a formal or casual winter wedding and the sheer long-sleeves beautifully complement the lined, woven bodice and full-fl skirt. Wrap dresses offer flexible styling and are universally flattering (plus, they tend to hide tummy bulges). We’re loving the extra dose of sensuality with the high leg slit and deep V-neck, and while the wrap is adjustable, you may want to purchase garment tape for the chest area to hold everything in.

What to Look for in a Champagne Bridal Party Dress

Undertone

Pick an undertone that works best with your skin tone and the overall wedding color palette, focusing on either warm or cool tones.  “I love different shades of a rose blush tone,” stylist Beverly Osemwenkhae, aka Beverly O notes. “It’s fun to have a gradient of shades in one color. It’s very modern and photographs beautifully.” Steer clear of yellow undertones, as they tend to wash out some skin tones.

Fabric & Fit

Stylist expert Beverly O recommends focusing on silk or satin materials, both of which work well for formal and black-tie dress codes. “The color of champagne is so regal that you want a fabric that really brings out the color tone. A fabric that has a little sheen is best,” she says. Lightweight, breezy chiffon or tulle like this ASOS maxi works especially well for spring or summer nuptials. When it comes to styling your bridal party, champagne goes with just about everything, from classic nude slingbacks to metallic, strappy sandals and either rose gold, gold, or silver accessories. 

Length

Floor length (maxi) or midi length works best for a champagne bridal party, especially a dress with a full skirt for a flowy, goddess feel. If you want to ramp up the flirty factor, a mini length with a high-shine effect can also work. 

FAQ
  • What color is champagne?

    Named after the bubbly celebratory beverage, champagne closely resembles beige, but some shades have undertones of blush, pale yellow, tangerine, and gold. 

  • Is champagne flattering on most skin tones?

    “Champagne is flattering on most skin tones, yes! But it looks best on people with darker hair,” Beverly O says. Since it’s a neutral color, it’s incredibly versatile and works well with all different wedding aesthetics and venues, making it an excellent bridal party pick. 

  • Are champagne wedding dresses appropriate for a formal wedding?

    “Absolutely! The color is great for a wedding in any season and it’s a beautiful neutral tone,” Beverly O says. Champagne bridal party dresses come in a wide range of styles suited for wedding dress codes. For formal weddings, we love floor-length champagne dresses in shimmering satin and silk to bring out the rich champagne hue, like this luxe maxi by Show Me Your Mumu. For outdoor or more casual weddings, a patterned style like this one may be appropriate or an elegant cowl-neck slip like this one from ASTR the Label
