When crossing items off your wedding planning to-do list, stocking up on bridal suite supplies might not be at the top of your list. However, it's something you won't want to skip, as it can help set the tone on your special day. One essential item to add to your bridal suite checklist is a wedding dress hanger. Getting a special hanger worthy of your dress (and all those getting ready photos) makes the morning of bubbly, makeup, and celebrating with your bridal party all the more fun–it's all the details!
Many wedding dress hangers are personalized, so plan ahead and order early so it arrives in time for the wedding.
For the bride seeking the perfect wedding day gift for herself or the entire bridal party, wedding dress hangers are a great way to add a personal touch to such a momentous day. When shopping for hangers, keep your wedding aesthetic in mind to find one that perfectly complements your wedding theme and dress. For beachside nuptials or garden ceremonies, opt for simple styles in dreamy satin fabrics. Throwing a formal affair? Personalized options in classic ivory or sumptuous velvet fabrics are your best bet. It's also essential to consider a hanger's functionality and quality. Look for sturdy options that can support the weight of your gown.
To help you find the best wedding dress hangers, we researched various styles from trustworthy retailers with these features in mind. For a completely customized look, we love the Bridal Party Hangers Custom Name Hanger and the Le Rustic Chic Hanger with Flower.

What to Look for in a Wedding Dress Hanger
A bridal hanger is a great way to display your wedding dress and add a personal touch to your getting-ready photos. When it comes to shopping for a wedding dress hanger, you should opt for a style that reflects your aesthetic and complements your wedding theme and dress. For brides throwing a rustic wedding, simple raw wood hangers with painted floral details are always a romantic choice. More of a traditional bride? Opt for padded hangers in shimmering satin, toile, or sumptuous velvet. And if you're looking for a personalized option, consider customizable hangers that come complete with your new initials or last name. Lastly, while bridal hangers are beautiful to look at, keep in mind that they also have to be functional, so it's best to always choose a sturdy style that can support the weight of your wedding gown.
