The right style: health and comfort
First of all, it is important to choose a dress that makes you feel comfortable and comfortable. You should not risk your baby’s health: if you choose dresses with a corset, the baby may be harmed. In addition, hypoxia is not beneficial to the developing organism.

No pressure on the chest and tummy: pay attention to spacious models. The longer the pregnancy, the less pressure is allowed on the stomach.
The main requirements for wedding dresses for pregnant women are as follows:
- no pressure on the chest and tummy: if you are choosing a wedding dress for a pregnant bride and looking through the photos, pay attention to spacious models. The longer the pregnancy, the less pressure is allowed on the abdomen. If in the first trimester outfits with corsets are still acceptable, in the second and third you should choose loose models;
- It is advisable to choose dresses that are made from natural, breathable fabrics. Pay attention to satin, silk and lace made from natural fibers;
- The last fitting and hem hem should be done a week before the wedding. The figure can quickly change and the growing belly will raise the hem, which will spoil the carefully thought out image;
- pay attention to the quality of the seams. They should be soft: you should not feel any discomfort.

Advice! You should choose a dress no earlier than a month before the expected date. Otherwise, on the eve of the wedding, you risk “not fitting” into the chosen outfit.
Selection rules
Experts focus on the comfort of a wedding dress for pregnant women. Photos of celebrities and fashion house models demonstrating outfits for pregnant brides only confirm this. Basic rules for choosing a dress for pregnant women:
- You should make sure that the seams are soft and will not chafe sensitive skin;
- Natural breathable fabrics are the main selection criterion. The dress should not cause allergies or irritation;
- Simple styles are preferable, puffy sleeves, an abundance of decor and additional elements will add even more splendor to the bride’s shape;
- If the dress has a corset, you need to be sure that it does not end too low and that the bones do not press into the stomach;
- The waist of the dress, regardless of the model chosen, should be high;
- You need to buy a bra, shoes, sew in a dress and make any changes to it as close as possible to the day of the celebration (the figure continues to change daily - the breasts grow, the legs swell, the waist increases), if adjusted too early, the dress may become tight;
- It is better to choose a matte fabric; the extra shine will add additional volume to the figure;
- In the summer, it is better to give preference to light translucent fabrics and open models, which make it easier to survive the heat of the wedding day. In the cold season, you need to think about warmth - closed dresses made of thick fabric will be a good choice for autumn and winter weddings;
- The style must be chosen, not forgetting the age of the bride: floral motifs and frivolous patterns on the dress will suit young ladies, luxurious embroidery, pearl decor and expensive rhinestones will suit more mature brides;
- Stylists do not advise pregnant brides to wear too deep a neckline; it is better to pay attention to a V-shaped neckline or graceful collars;
- The weight of the dress is also important when choosing an outfit. It is better if the outfit does not weigh more than two or three kilograms, otherwise the expectant mother will get tired of the holiday too quickly.
If you take these tips from stylists into account, your wedding day will be comfortable. Not a single minor trouble associated with the inconvenience of attire will spoil the celebration that marks the beginning of family life.
Shoes
It is better for a pregnant newlywed to avoid high heels and high heels. Classic pumps, shoes or sandals on a small platform will fit perfectly. In the last trimester, it is even safer to give preference to flat soles. These could be elegant ballet shoes with pearls or sandals with interesting straps.
For cooler weather, boots or ankle boots are appropriate. And to the banquet it would be good to take another pair of shoes with you so that it is cool and comfortable.
Greek style: a find for expectant mothers
Greek-style dresses have a high waist and a light, flowing skirt. Naturally, such models should attract the attention of expectant mothers, because the outfit will not embarrass the stomach, while favorably emphasizing all the advantages of the figure. In addition, the silhouette makes the figure feminine and sophisticated, allowing you to visually lose a couple of kilograms. Such wedding dresses are suitable for pregnant women from 5 months: the photos clearly demonstrate that the outfit makes the figure quite graceful even with an impressive belly.

Advice! For an open-top Grecian style dress, you'll need a bra that doesn't have straps. Don't forget to buy it in advance so that your look isn't spoiled by a small but very noticeable detail.
Choosing a wedding dress model depending on the month of pregnancy
Princess Dress
| Months of pregnancy | Models | Peculiarities |
| 1-3 | "Mermaid" Short | This is a long, tight dress with a flared skirt that goes above the knees. |
| 3-5 | "Princess" | It consists of a tight top with a corset + a full skirt with hoops |
| 5-7 | A-line | There is no emphasis on the waist (it can be natural or high) |
| 7-9 | Greek style | Thanks to the loose fit, the tummy is almost invisible |
This video shows various models of Greek wedding dresses. You can take a closer look at their finish, style, length and design:
What to wear with a wedding dress for a pregnant bride
It is impossible to create a charming image without the use of accessories and additional elements, as well as the right shoes.
Today, a veil has ceased to be a mandatory accessory for a bride. But still, many girls add it to their image. The main requirement when choosing this element is its harmonious combination with the dress. The presence of embroidery of the same type as the embroidery on the dress is welcome.
If desired, the veil can be replaced with an elegant hat with a mesh, a tiara, a wreath or other beautiful hair decoration. The hairstyle must fully correspond to the image. Hair can be neatly gathered or loose with a curl.
As for jewelry, bulky jewelry is not recommended for a pregnant bride. You can add a neat chain with a pendant or delicate pearl beads, earrings and a thin bracelet. It is not advisable to use rings, since during pregnancy, most girls' hands, in particular their fingers, swell. Therefore, the presence of rings on the evening of the celebration may begin to cause discomfort to the bride.
Important! Expectant mothers should not wear stocking garters, as they can compress the legs, impairing blood circulation.
Stockings can be replaced with special nylon tights for pregnant women without seams and a tightening effect. In the summer, you can completely exclude this element.
In the cool autumn or winter seasons, the bride can complement her outfit with a shortened bolero or cape, which can be made of the same fabric as the dress itself, or made of lace or fur.
In summer, in hot weather, a fan can be an original addition, which will be useful to a pregnant bride not only as an accessory, but also as a useful item that cools the face in the heat.
It is impossible for a bride to do without the main wedding accessory – a bouquet. A delicate wedding dress for a pregnant woman can be complemented by an equally delicate bouquet collected from light flowers. Or you can create contrast and choose a brighter bouquet; red flowers are especially popular.
The beauty of the bouquet, of course, should come first, but special attention should also be paid to the weight. The bouquet should not be heavy, otherwise it will be difficult for the bride to walk with it all day.
Choosing shoes is also not an easy task. It is necessary to choose a model so that it elegantly complements the entire image, but at the same time does not bring discomfort while walking.
It is important to give preference to models without heels, since wearing heels during pregnancy is extremely undesirable. If the image suggests their presence, then you should choose a model with a small (up to 3-5 cm) stable heel or platform.
In most cases, pregnant brides are still recommended to give preference to shoes with solid soles. For example, it is best to wear ballet flats or closed shoes under a silk dress. They can be decorated with rhinestones, beads, beads and other decorative elements. A decorative strap is welcome.
You can wear open sandals under a dress made of flowing fabric such as chiffon.
Some pregnant brides don’t try to follow stereotypes at all and wear white or rhinestone-decorated sneakers under their dresses.
In winter, you should also give preference to high or medium-length boots with a solid platform or the original UGG boots, which are quite popular today.
Advice! Some wedding planners recommend that pregnant brides purchase two pairs of shoes. One - for the ceremonial part, the second, more convenient - for the rest of the celebration.
How to choose shoes and accessories
Whatever dress you buy for a pregnant bride, the main advice from experts is to carefully choose shoes. Walking in heels all day is always tiring, and for pregnant brides this task becomes even more difficult. Firstly, feet often swell, and secondly, walking in heels is, in principle, not recommended for pregnant women. If you want to wear high-heeled shoes during a photo shoot, then you definitely need to take replacement shoes to the banquet - sandals, ballet flats or closed options for celebrations in cold weather.
It is also highly recommended that pregnant brides consider how to insulate their outfit. Even in the summer months the weather is cool. A light bolero that will elegantly fit over an open dress will save you from hypothermia and colds. In the cold season, you should definitely take a warm fur coat that matches the model of a wedding dress for a pregnant woman. Many salons have a special service for such cases - rental. They rent not only a bolero or a fur coat, but also various accessories - clutches, hair jewelry, gloves and umbrellas.
The choice of accessories is no less important than the choice of the dress itself. They should not overload the feminine image of the expectant mother, but are intended to make it, on the contrary, romantic and elegant. All decorations should be as light and airy as possible. It is better to refuse a massive necklace and bracelets, opting for a thin chain with a pendant. What else complements the image:
- Hairstyle - it is complemented with all kinds of hoops, headbands, hairpins or floral accessories - it all depends on the image chosen by the bride. It is better to coordinate the choice of hair decor in advance with the stylist responsible for the look on the wedding day. A professional will tell you what looks best, and will also direct you to stores with a large selection of suitable accessories;
- Veil - this attribute has long become an optional addition to the wedding look. If the bride wants to add it, there is also a basic rule here - lightness. Many people replace the veil with a small hat or simply leave their head uncovered with an elegant hairstyle. For summer brides, a wreath of wild flowers is appropriate, adding a special charm to a light, flowing dress;
- A bouquet is the bride’s main floral accessory. Beauty is of course good, but you need to pay special attention to weight. Its weight should not be too large, otherwise it will be difficult for the bride to walk with it all day. A small neatly shaped bouquet on its own stems is the most successful option in this case;
- Tights - their choice - is an important aspect that many people forget about. You only need to buy special models for pregnant women without a seam on the stomach. It is better to choose a matte flesh shade.
Choosing a wedding dress is an important stage in preparing for the main day of many girls. For brides in the first months of pregnancy, this process is less difficult than for others. However, when getting married in the second half of this wonderful period, the number of suitable models decreases significantly. It is necessary to take into account the comfort of each dress and the characteristics of the rapidly increasing figure of the expectant mother.
In addition to the difficulties of buying a dress, the bride will have to carefully select shoes and accessories. The main selection criterion remains the same - the convenience and comfort of the bride on the day of the celebration. Even the most beautiful dress and incredibly luxurious shoes with beautiful heels can ruin the mood of a pregnant bride on this special day.
Fashion trends in wedding dresses for pregnant women
Pregnant girls can also afford traditional options for elegant white maxi-length dresses.
Slightly eclipsing the classic models are midi-length dresses with a full, flowing skirt.
The idea of playing with length will also be relevant, namely models of dresses with an asymmetrical skirt, behind which an airy train will flow.
Pregnant brides can appear at the altar in lace wedding dresses. And in the summer, it will be relevant to replace lace with a lighter, airy fabric - crepe chiffon.
The fashion for too open a neckline is already decreasing in popularity, so wedding couturiers recommend that in 2022 pregnant brides prefer a neat V-shaped or boat-shaped neckline to an open neckline.
A yoke made of lace will also look interesting.
There will also be no color restrictions in 2022. Pregnant brides will be able to go to the altar in a white dress, a bright one, or a dress in delicate pastel colors.
Materials
The material plays the most important role in the choice, since the wrong fabric can completely ruin the entire look.
For pregnant brides, it is recommended to give preference to fabrics that are lighter and flowing, such as:
- satin or silk;
- organza;
- chiffon;
- lace (guipure).
Dresses made from these materials will seem airy and will not weigh down the bride’s image.
Often, brides' preferences fall on purely natural materials, for example, cotton fabric. Typically, girls choose such modest cotton maternity dresses, for example, for a rustic themed wedding.
Important! When choosing dresses, you should definitely check the composition of the fabric, since the body of a pregnant girl is unpredictable. It is unknown how it will react to synthetics, so the composition should contain more natural fibers.
What does it have to do with trimester?
Pregnancy goes through three stages: the first trimester (1-3 months), the second (3-6 months) and the third (6-9 months). Based on this, you should plan to buy an outfit or have it made to order.
If registration is planned within the first trimester, then there are no special rules for selection. Anything that brides who are not in an interesting position are trying on will do.
In this case, it is desirable that the abdominal area is not tightened, and if there is a corset, then it would be easy to adjust. Or the waistline should be slightly higher, which looks pretty good, including on curvy styles.
In the second trimester, the tummy begins to noticeably increase, gradually approaching a more significant size. True, it is different for every girl - at the same period it can be very different (for some it is more, for others it is less).
And therefore, if you want to emphasize and gracefully demonstrate your slightly rounded shape, then you can choose a straight model (slightly tight-fitting) with an accent belt above the abdominal area.
For this, elegant guipure options are suitable, which will subtly and tactfully emphasize your position.
If you want to hide, hold off on making a public announcement, then consider trapezoidal, slightly flared (A-line, Empire) options.
In the third trimester, of course, you can’t hide anything, so choose according to your convictions. But the most optimal silhouette is the Greek one, when the belt line is under the chest and gracefully emphasizes its curvy shape, and the high skirt seems to flow, smoothly enveloping the rounded belly.
You can look at the style long before registering, but I advise you to purchase only two weeks in advance, since your shape will change before your eyes and may become an unexpected surprise.
What's relevant
In the latest collections of 2017-2018, as well as 2018-2019, there are a lot of asymmetrical models that fit perfectly even on pregnant women.
Moreover, they can also act as transformers. At the official registration, the bride will appear in a lush, long dress (which many people dream of, despite their position), but at the banquet part, having removed the front skirt, she will remain in a comfortable evening (cocktail) version with a shortened hemline or high in the front and elongated in the back , sometimes in the form of a train.
Colors and shades
Beautiful wedding dresses for pregnant brides do not have to be traditionally white. Of course, the classics still occupy a leading position in choice, but this is not a reason for brave girls to follow stereotypes. Many today prefer to choose brighter or more subtle outfits.
Important! White color visually plumps up the figure, and during pregnancy this effect will be even more visible, so it is still better to give preference to pastel and light colors.
Among the pastel colors, the following are popular:
- cream;
- beige;
- grey;
- pale pink;
- light blue;
- turquoise;
- lilac.
A delicate wedding dress for a pregnant woman can be not only plain, but also with a print or embroidery. The main thing is that the design is not too large, as this will make the image of the bride heavier.
In rare cases, pregnant brides choose rich and bright colors, such as:
- blue;
- emerald;
- red;
- yellow.
But shiny wedding dresses for pregnant women can be found on brides much more often than bright ones.
Color scheme - what you should pay attention to
White wedding bow, like a classic of the genre. Is it necessary to buy pure white decoration?
The classics do not leave the leading position, but girls who do not want to follow established stereotypes choose brighter variations.
White wedding decoration visually makes its owner look fatter. This means that it will be more difficult for a pregnant bride wearing a white bow to hide her rounded belly. Stylists recommend that they stick to pastel colors.
The most well chosen colors:
- beige;
- light gray;
- cream;
- light blue;
- lilac;
- pale pink;
- turquoise.
It is not at all necessary to choose a plain dress; it can have spectacular embroidery or a print.
In rare cases, young people prefer:
- blue outfit;
- emerald;
- yellow;
- scarlet.
Dressing in these colors is a risky decision. Not every betrothed will be able to wear them, but there are girls who want to look extraordinary, bold, and very colorful at the main celebration of life.
Shiny ones are also popular. Almost every fashion designer has such products in their collections.
Dress length
The length of the wedding dress also plays a significant role in the choice, but this does not mean that you should limit yourself only to long models. Like any formal attire, a wedding dress for a pregnant girl can have different lengths, the choice of which depends solely on the preferences of the bride herself.
Short wedding dresses for pregnant women
Models of short wedding dresses are very popular among girls, they are especially relevant in the summer. For a pregnant woman, choosing such an outfit is not considered bad taste; on the contrary, thanks to the short length of the skirt, the bride will be able to feel comfortable without getting confused by a wide and long hem.
Short, tight-fitting dresses can be chosen by brides whose belly has not yet rounded in the first trimester. In the second trimester, when the belly begins to appear, you should give preference to short A-line models, but in the later stages, experts recommend giving preference to short versions of wedding dresses for pregnant women in the Greek style.
Long wedding dresses for pregnant women
Long dresses are still relevant and in most cases it is the maxi length that pregnant brides try to choose. There are a considerable number of styles of such floor-length formal dresses. Depending on the stage of pregnancy, a girl may give preference to curvy models with a bodice and a high waist.
Important! When choosing a model with a corsage, the bodice should not fit tightly around the waist, and when choosing a corset, it should not be pulled tight.
A long dress can be in the Greek style, straight tailoring or a-line. With a clearly defined waistline or with a smooth transition. Particular attention should be paid to options with a train, namely removable ones. It will add grace at the moment of the ceremonial part. Afterwards, you can disconnect it to comfortably accept congratulations.
Maternity dresses for medium length weddings
The average length of a wedding dress for a pregnant girl is like a golden mean. Firstly, a long skirt will not interfere with the bride’s movement. Secondly, there will be no worries about a too short skirt.
Attention! The average length of the dress requires the presence of high-heeled shoes, so it is advisable to give preference to a stable small heel, since stiletto heels are strictly prohibited from being worn in position.
Rules for choosing beautiful wedding dresses for pregnant women
Every bride, despite her interesting situation, wants to look perfect on her wedding day. Even in late pregnancy, today you can choose a dress taking into account your body type, since the range is quite wide. But when choosing, you still need to consider the following:
- Time to buy. Purchasing a wedding dress is always first on the wedding preparation list, so many brides try to purchase an outfit 1-2 months before the cherished date. But during pregnancy, the purchase and fitting will still have to be postponed until the very last moment, because the figure of the expectant mother changes significantly and very quickly.
- Comfortable style. One of the most important factors influencing the choice is wearing comfort. The outfit should be comfortable, not tight or restrict movement. It is advisable to choose a looser style and it is better to give preference to breathable natural fabrics.
- High-quality cut and tailoring. It is also important to look at the quality of the dress; it should not contain rough chafing seams, distortions or other defects.
Short dresses
Such dresses will be an excellent option for girls who are in the last months of pregnancy. For example, short wedding dresses for pregnant women from 7 months onwards will make you look like a sweet, touching expectant mother who is not embarrassed about her situation. After all, there is no point in hiding anything anymore: why not highlight your future motherhood with a carefully chosen outfit?
Short wedding dresses for pregnant women from 7 months will allow you to look like a sweet, touching expectant mother. After all, there is no point in hiding anything: why not emphasize your future motherhood with a carefully chosen outfit? Pay attention to short high-waisted dresses, A-line options and Provencal style dresses.
Pay attention to short high-waisted dresses, A-line options and Provencal style dresses. The last option is especially relevant if you are celebrating a wedding outdoors. For example, a peasant silhouette looks very good: a fairly wide dress of a simple cut with open shoulders and long sleeves, which can be decorated with embroidery and decorations in an ethnic style.
You can decorate a short maternity dress with a lace bolero or a light cape.
By the way, pay attention to models with a deep neckline. After all, a pregnant woman's breasts are enlarged: why not emphasize your new dignity to make your image more sexy? Jewelry will help draw attention to the chest: chains with pendants, pearl beads, etc.
Luxurious lace dress
Advice! It is very important to choose the right shoes for a wedding. Of course, it’s better to avoid traditional stilettos. This is especially true for girls who are in the last months of pregnancy: there is no need to further increase the load on your spine! Pumps and shoes with stable heels 3-4 centimeters long will perfectly decorate your outfit and emphasize the touching, gentle image of the bride who is about to become a young mother.
Transformable dresses
For the first time, such a model was demonstrated back in 1976. Lydia Silvestra presented her collection, which included one single dress, but in 100 variations. Thanks to its special cut and long ribbons that can be tied in different positions, this outfit allows women to change without changing clothes. You can easily make a dress-shorts, tunic or an elegant formal model from it.

You can easily make a dress-shorts, tunic or an elegant formal model from it. Most often, transformations occur with the skirt, when the fluffy part comes off and the bride remains in a light and elegant outfit
If you're not afraid to show off your tight baby bump, a dress like this will make you feel like a trailblazer. By experimenting, you can choose an exclusive wedding style specifically for your body type. For example, you can emphasize the shape of your breasts by placing two ribbon tails behind your back. Their ends are wound under the chest, thereby imitating the Greek style.
To leave the shoulders and décolleté area open, the lower part of the dress is raised up to the neck and ribbons are wound or twisted into strands around it. The fabric can simply be wrapped around the body, securing the ribbons under the chest, while leaving the shoulders and back completely open. In this case, the emphasis will be on the fabric itself and the delicate rounded female forms.
Advice! If you decide to go for a figure-hugging dress, it is better if it is made of stretchy fabric.
Empire style models
Do you love Jane Austen's novels and have always dreamed of playing the role of Elizabeth Bennet? Then these dresses are for you! Like the Greek ones, they suggest a high waist and a fairly deep neckline. The dress has short or long sleeves, which will allow you to disguise full arms: this is important for girls who have gained a few extra pounds during pregnancy. Such wedding dresses for pregnant women, photos of which you will find in the article, are perfect for the summer: you will not “suffocate” in them, which is very important during the period of bearing a baby.

These maternity wedding dresses are perfect for summer.
Available in short and medium length models. However, the classic empire style requires a floor-length outfit. Dresses with decorated beads or embroidered bodice and a smooth long skirt made of flowing silk or satin look especially harmonious. This dress is not only very beautiful, but also comfortable for the expectant mother. You can complement the outfit with ballet flats to match the dress and a small hat with a veil.

Advice! Dresses in the Greek style and in the Empire style will be the ideal choice if you are in a short period of pregnancy and would like to hide your “interesting position” for the time being.
Selection of headwear and accessories
The look will be complete if the appropriate accessories are selected for the wedding dress. You can liven up a neutral color scheme with jewelry with colored stones. However, their quantity must be strictly dosed, and they must be selected in the same style. Any jewelry, naturally, should be in harmony not only with the dress, but also with makeup and hairstyle.
In recent years, flower wreaths have become popular. An original asymmetrical dress
- As an accessory, you can use a string of pearls or a long necklace, as well as snow-white or pastel colors, matching the dress, and long gloves.
- The resulting retro look of the 60s can be complemented with a high bouffant, expressive arrows on the eyes and bright lipstick.
- In addition to the dress, you can choose a designer jacket or bolero cape, which will help hide the volume. However, a veil in such a set will be superfluous.
- The veil can also be replaced with a mini hat. It can be decorated with embroidery, small mesh and flowers. If the outfit includes short or long gloves, they should be in harmony with the tone of the dress. When choosing contrasting shades, you should use moderation - the ideal option would be a difference of a couple of tones.
The resulting retro look of the 60s can be complemented with a high bouffant, expressive arrows on the eyes and bright lipstick. Even a simple sprig of flowers in the hair will look very gentle
A gentle and innocent image should not be overloaded
Advice! In winter, you need to choose a warm fur coat to go with your dress, which you can completely wrap yourself in. In summer, be sure to take a light umbrella or hat to protect you from the scorching sun. A light fan will not only be an original accessory, but will also provide a flow of fresh air to the face, neck and shoulders.
A-line
If you are a little pregnant, you should pay attention to A-line dresses. The narrow top will emphasize the fragility of the shoulders and neckline, and the flared hem will reliably disguise a small tummy.

A-line dresses do not restrict movement and are quite comfortable to wear. By the way, you will especially like this option if you are planning a wedding in the style of the 60s: it was then that the A-line silhouette was at the peak of fashion. You can complement the outfit with shoes with a small heel and a clutch to match the outfit. The length of your dress depends on how much weight you gained during pregnancy. Don't hide your slender legs: if you have something to show off, feel free to purchase a mini version!
You will especially like this option if you are planning a wedding in the style of the 60s: it was then that the A-line silhouette was at the height of fashion. You can complement the outfit with shoes with a small glass heel and a clutch to match the outfit. The choice of dress length depends on how you gained weight during pregnancy.
Advice! If you're in your second or third trimester, hold off on dress shopping until the last week before your wedding. Your figure can change quite quickly, and the dress will be too tight. It’s also not worth buying an outfit “for growth”: every woman’s body changes in its own way while carrying a child!
Possible options
In principle, wedding styles for pregnant women are not much different from dresses for newlyweds who are not expecting a child. The only thing that is not recommended is the “Fish” silhouette, as it is very tight-fitting. But if your period is very short - one or two months, your height is above average, and your physique is proportional, then you can stop at this idea.
Curvy
A pregnant girl can easily afford to try on the image of a real princess and put on a long, fluffy dress. All you have to do is choose a model without a corset and decoration around the waist, unless, of course, you want to focus attention on the stomach.
The following options look great:
- with a beautifully decorated neckline, it can be, for example, heart-shaped, V-shaped;
- with straps;
- long tight sleeves that will look appropriate for a winter celebration and the Sacrament of Wedding;
- light flowing skirts are perfect for a summer wedding ceremony;
- fashionable flounces;
- various gathers, ruffles and draperies;
- lace decor;
- gorgeous applications.
Another type of full skirt in a dress is the A-line style. It looks more restrained and laconic than “Princess”. But many people love it for this, because it is more convenient. The widened hem will easily disguise your belly. And everyone’s eyes will be sharpened by an elegant top.
Greek style
The image of the Greek goddess is the most popular among pregnant newlyweds. After all, the high waistline perfectly hides the belly, and the loose cut does not hinder movement. All attention here is focused on the chest. The straps of the product are often made of pearls or flowers.
Empire brides are very feminine, sophisticated and graceful, even with rounded shapes. And if your term does not exceed five months, then most guests will not understand at all that you are waiting for an increase. For many, this is a key factor when choosing a dress for a wedding.
Girls look great in the model in question at a summer ceremony. After all, for sewing such options, they mainly use light material: weightless chiffon and veil, as well as elegant silk and delicate guipure. The fabric listed above drapes well, so the skirt falls into interesting folds and thereby hides a plump figure.
Greek styles are varied; the following would suit a pregnant bride:
- with lace inserts on the bodice;
- armhole on one shoulder;
- criss-cross drapery;
- sleeves.
With such a product it is appropriate to create a Greek hairstyle, loose curls or a crown braid. And you can complement your hairstyle with a golden headband, a thin hoop, a mysterious veil, a wreath of fresh flowers, or a ribbon headband. Lovers of the classics will love the veil.
Short
If you have more modern views and don’t think that a wedding dress must be long, then this option is definitely for you.
Of course, no one is talking about minis, but midi and cocktail ones will fit just right.
This length is especially relevant for girls with beautiful legs.
Expectant mothers should pay attention to shortened models in the Greek style, a-line, with a high waistline and A-line.
Anything can be added to short wedding dresses:
- guipure inserts;
- bright belts;
- sleeves;
- chic embellished bodice and much more.
Shoes with this style need to be appropriate, because they will be perfectly visible. Since pregnant women, especially in later stages, are advised to abandon heels, only flat soles or small wedges are suitable. Tall girls can afford to wear ballet flats.
Lace, pearls, satin ribbons, bows, straps and clasps look elegant on shoes.
For a wedding in the cool season, choose ankle boots or boots, and fur can serve as decoration.
Straight silhouette
If you have a proportional figure and are only in the first trimester of pregnancy, then a straight cut outfit is a great solution. It will also look great in combination with an already large belly, unless, of course, the bride is hiding her happy time of waiting for the baby. These dresses, although discreet, are no less festive and feminine.
Advice. An excellent idea for short newlyweds, as the model in question visually elongates the silhouette.
Take a closer look at interesting options:
- trimmed with delicate lace;
- sleeves;
- light chiffon skirts;
- shortened;
- or high waisted.
Lace
It is known that lace is slimming, so for those getting married who do not want to emphasize their position too much, this type of product will be to their taste.
Such dresses have long won the love of many newlyweds and have remained one of the most fashionable for years. Lace is a self-sufficient wedding material that does not even require any other decorations. Outfits made from it look solemn and gentle.
As for the style, pregnant women look beautiful in Greek, straight and short lace models.
With a train
Options with a train are quite popular among modern brides, because everyone wants to feel chic and impressive on their wedding day, but there is a downside - it is not very convenient. Therefore, we recommend purchasing a product with a detachable part so that you can show off at the registry office, and during the banquet you can relax freely and comfortably.
Cascading skirts, which are shorter in front than in the back, are also considered an interesting idea. If desired, they can also be found with a removable part.
The second style is suitable only for the early stages of pregnancy, when the belly is not yet visible.
The nuances of choosing a wedding dress for a bride in early pregnancy
If the wedding is held in the early months of pregnancy, it seems that there are no restrictions on the choice of dress.
During this period, the bride is often overwhelmed with worries and is not at all ready to share the good news about the child with everyone around her. If she wants to fully enjoy the mystery of waiting and does not intend to advertise her position, she needs to take into account the following points:
- Changes in the body occur rapidly; you should not buy a dress earlier than 2-3 weeks in advance. In a wedding salon, they will most likely meet you halfway and put aside several dresses, from which you will choose one shortly before the celebration.
- You shouldn't be fooled by your still thin waist. The child will not tolerate cramped conditions; an attempt to tighten the waist will immediately lead to a deterioration in well-being.
- You can emphasize the fragility of the figure not with a tight dress, but with the features of the cut and decor.
In your situation, you can safely use the “princess” style with a slightly raised waistline. A tulle skirt - multi-layered, fluffy or with large airy frills, flounces - will create a feeling of lightness, airiness, and ease. Nothing prevents you from emphasizing, if desired, a beautiful neckline. But excess volume in the shoulder area will immediately make your figure heavier; for the same reason, avoid heavy, richly decorated fabrics.
However, many pregnant brides are so overwhelmed with happiness that they would rather emphasize their new position than hide it. In this case, feel free to proceed to the consideration of those models discussed below.
Naturalness and details
When choosing, try to give preference to models made from natural materials so that they are light and breathable, because you will spend most of the day wearing this look. This is mainly silk, but tulle, lace, tulle, and taffeta are used for decoration.
Be sure to pay attention to the belt, as it should be soft, smoothly bending around your contours. It is better to use ribbons or lace as decoration, but stones and rhinestones - only in the neckline area, perhaps in the form of a beautiful brooch crowning a V-shaped neckline.
An interesting detail of the image will be the straps, which can be thin, wide, intertwined at the neck.
One strap made of 3D flowers (repeated on the silhouette) looks especially beautiful and elegant.
As a decor that adds lightness and airiness, modern designers successfully use flowing tulle ribbons, attaching them to a belt or bodice.
Fluffy dresses: feel like a princess
Fluffy dresses are suitable for girls who are in the early stages of pregnancy: otherwise the silhouette may turn out to be too bulky and heavy. When choosing a dress you need to pay attention to some points:
- There should be no decoration on the waist line. This will highlight your rounded tummy. Of course, if you want to draw attention to your future motherhood, you can safely ignore this rule;

- a dress with a corset will not suit you. The corset will put pressure on the child, and this is fraught with such a serious disorder as hypoxia. Therefore, you need to choose fairly soft models with a tight-fitting, but not oppressive bodice.
In order not to get tired during the holiday, give up “heavy” multi-layered skirts: choose dresses whose skirts are made of light fabrics.

Advice! A full skirt goes well with simple straight sleeves. The fuller the skirt, the tighter the sleeves should be!
Wedding dresses for pregnant women: models with a train
A dress with a long train can be a very unusual and extravagant solution for a pregnant bride. An excellent choice would be asymmetrical models with a shortened front edge. The waist should be a little high to make the tummy feel more comfortable.
Pay attention to dresses with an open back and high waist. This outfit will look very extravagant. Naturally, it is suitable only for girls who have a relatively short pregnancy period.

Loose-fitting dress with bare shoulders.
By the way, you can buy a dress with a removable train: this will help you quickly change your look right during the wedding and feel more comfortable and free after the official part.
Advice! Avoid overly fluffy skirts, puffed sleeves, numerous flowers decorating the dress, and other decorative elements. Such “decorations” will make the figure look heavier and heavier.
Lace: sophistication and elegance
Lace dresses are a great way to emphasize the tenderness, touching and romanticism of a pregnant bride. Lace itself is a self-sufficient fabric that does not require a lot of jewelry or additional decor. Therefore, if you like simple silhouettes, then such dresses will be the best option for you.

Lace dresses can be of almost any silhouette: empire, Greek, or straight cut. If you are early in your pregnancy, pay attention to outfits with a corset, which, of course, should never be pulled too tight. If you're not embarrassed about walking down the aisle while pregnant, you can highlight your baby bump by tying a contrasting color ribbon over it. This detail will look very cute and harmonious. In addition, you can decorate your hair with hairpins and flowers to match the ribbon on your belt.
Narrow or wide straps and sleeves of various shapes will help emphasize rounded shoulders. Brave girls can choose dresses without straps and sleeves: such models will highlight the beautiful line of the chest and shoulders.

Advice! Don't want to buy a dress made entirely of lace? Then pay attention to models with vertical lace inserts on the back. These dresses will slightly elongate your figure and highlight your elegance. Naturally, transparent fabric requires ideal skin condition on the back.
Accessories and their role in creating an image
Selecting decor is no less important a process than choosing the dress itself. Here you need to be especially careful. Accessories, or rather an excess of them, can overload the bow, which is undesirable. After all, they are designed to add elegance and romanticism to the image. Massive bracelets, beads or necklaces should be avoided altogether.
A worthy alternative in this regard is a simple chain with a beautiful pendant.
Another image can be supplemented:
- Hairstyle. A correctly selected stylish hairstyle with decorative hairpins, hairpins, bows, flowers will perfectly complement the overall picture of the look. The stylist will tell you exactly what to use and what hairstyle to choose if it’s difficult to do it yourself.
- Veil. If earlier it was considered as an obligatory attribute of the young, today the situation has changed dramatically. The veil is now very often replaced with all kinds of decorations - decorative voluminous hairpins, a hat, wreaths for the entire head.
- A bouquet. A bouquet, unlike a veil, is considered an integral attribute. And girls getting married take his choice very seriously. It can have different shapes, colors and sizes. When choosing a bouquet, you need to make sure that it is not too heavy and voluminous. It will be difficult to go through the whole day with him.
- Pantyhose. This accessory is optional. In the summer, few people choose them. In winter - almost everything. During pregnancy, you need to purchase those that do not have seams on either the leg or the stomach. As for color, it is better to give preference to pastel matte colors.
It’s easier to choose decorations early. The larger it is, the more difficult it is to take everything into account and make the right choice.
By following these recommendations, it will be a little easier for you to navigate the huge assortment. You can go the other way and use the services of an experienced stylist. He will select everything correctly and clearly.
