15 Sparkly Wedding Dresses for the Glamorous Bride

What the red carpet is for celebrities is what a wedding day is for any bride-to-be, so why not go all out and really shine on your big day? From super-glitzy gowns covered in sequins to more subdued glimmer, there are many ways to incorporate a bit of shimmer into your bridal look. If you prefer a more traditional gown when saying 'I do' but want to make an extra dazzling entrance at the reception or after-party, sparkly dresses also make a perfect post-ceremony look.

If you’re all about the opulence but want to stick with a white or ivory palette, sequins and glittering paillettes in dramatic silhouettes and architectural shapes are the way to go. If you're a vintage-loving bride, you can pile on the drama with cascading fringe beadings, flouncy tiers of chiffon with glittering beadwork, and classy pearl detailing. Sparkle isn't reserved for ultra-glam brides and modern minimalist brides can also incorporate sparkle by opting for simpler slip silhouettes or halter column sheaths with sparse beading and reflective embellishments.

From head-to-toe adornment for a scene-stealing wedding look to subtle sequined looks, here is our edit of glitzy wedding gowns.
