When it comes to wedding dresses these days, most gowns fall into two categories: minimalist, and maximalist. And when it comes to wedding dresses with bows, most designers are betting on maximalism as the winner!
The last few years have seen no shortage of wedding dresses with bows hit the runway—it's a trend we see on repeat on the runways season after season. First they came in the form of delicate waist or back adornments, then adding a sweet shoulder detail. Now, designers are betting on full-on larger-than-life bows to create a show-stopping bridal moment.
Seen at Ines Di Santo, Naeem Khan, Elie Saab, Anne Barge, and others, wedding dresses with bows are quickly becoming a sort of classic in the bridal fashion space. But designers are always taking things up a notch and making a classic statement worthy.
With plenty of options when it comes to a wedding dress with bows, every style is represented—from sweet and dainty, to sultry, and completely over-the-top. Whether it be adorning a halter-neckline jumpsuit or adding major life to a '90s-inspired square neck gown, these wedding dresses with bows are nothing short of completely romantic.
