Elegant maternity wedding dress
First up is a dress that exudes old-school glamor: The Aria gown by Tiffany Rose. The off-the-shoulder cut draws the eye to your decolletage, while the sweeping skirt with carefully placed pleats creates a sleek silhouette. We also love the matt sheen fabric, which is classically bridal and highlights your pregnancy glow. Wear it with or without the matching art deco sash. Oh, and did we mention that this dress has pockets?

I bought my dress at Davids bridal. I just bought it double my size, and they altered everywhere else down to size a couple weeks before the wedding. They also have belly pillows you can try on with your dress so you can get a good idea of what you will look like. - elisenadam, The Bump forum member

First and foremost, call your local bridal salon and tell them that you’re expecting. That way, the stylist can select some maternity wedding dress styles ahead of time. It’s also a good idea to book your initial bridal consultation as early as possible, as some styles may need to be ordered in advance and could take a few weeks to arrive. A consultation is a great way to assess your options, and some salons will even offer a pillow or an artificial pregnancy belly for you to try on while you shop. This way, you can get a better idea of what your dress will look like on your big day with your bump.
Next, look for pregnancy-friendly silhouettes and fabrics. An empire waist gown (a dress that’s cinched under your bust) is a classic pregnancy wedding dress style that provides ample room for your growing belly. On the other hand, if you want a form-fitting dress that accentuates your bump, a mermaid or sheath dress is also a great choice. While you’re shopping around, consider comfortable fabrics like lightweight tulle and stretch jersey. But of course, you aren’t restricted to any one style or material. You’re not even pigeonholed to wear a traditional bridal design! Many maternity dresses, including maternity bridesmaid dresses, can work well for your big day. You can even widen the net and consider non-maternity dresses with a bump-friendly cut. Look beyond the label and you’re sure to find something beautiful for your wedding. It’s all about wearing what you really, truly love.
When it comes to ordering your dress, you may need to size up. If you’re shopping in-store, ask the in-house experts for sizing advice about the specific gown that you’ve chosen. If you’re shopping online, read the site’s size guidelines and don’t hesitate to reach out to customer service with questions. If your dress is too large in the run-up to the wedding, it can be taken in during alterations.
That leads us to our final tip: Get in touch with a local tailor at least a few months before your wedding to start making any necessary alterations. Many bridal salons offer an in-house alteration service, but if yours doesn’t, ask for a recommendation. The cost of alterations can add up, so remember to factor this into your overall budget. Book your final fitting as close to your wedding date as possible to accommodate any last-minute adjustments.
