And if you thought they were only appropriate for fall and winter weddings, we invite you to check out some exceptional ballgowns that are perfect for any time of year. Learn more about the warm weather possibilities with this beatiful bridal style:

Spring/Summer

Ball gowns aren’t always associated with the warmer months, at least not if you’re saying, “I do,” outdoors. But really, if you can find the right gown, made of the right fabrics, you can sashay down the aisle in a Swiss dot inspiration or linen creation. Make sure your dress has a flowing appeal and completed with material that’s lighter and breathes easier. In the end, you’ll get a breathier overall style but still something very bridal and appealing.

Vintage

You’re ball gown can also inspire some gorgeous, vintage flavors. From sleek satins reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn to soft, 1950’s cuts, you can still dawn a full skirt on the day you walk down the aisle – even if you want a day full of old-age spirits. Just make sure to think about every detail of the day from your makeup to the invitations! Learn more at Top Wedding Sites

 

Madison James, style MJ406: This striking silk Mikado ballgown offers a sleek and sophisticated silhouette. Enjoy eye-catching pleats to define the waistline in style! This sleeveless sweetheart offers a plunging neckline to take the “WOW!” factor to the next level. If this is too revealing of a neckline for you, illusion netting and some minor alterations may become your best friend! Available colors: Almond/Nude, Ivory/Nude, Diamond/White/Nude. Available sizes: 2-32.

New York Bride & Groom of Columbia is excited to offer every ballgown concept imaginable!

Discover more about the various takes on this iconic wedding dress style:

If you’re looking to make a dramatic entrance, a classic ball gown is for you—and we saw plenty of them.

The designers propose super-elegant tulle or lace capes to cover the shoulders and round out the bride’s look.

A romantic but also functional touch. Low-key and small, to fasten a collar or supersized to get a sculptural effect.

Color touch. The wedding dress comes not in pastel tones only (soft pink and serenity blue), but also in bright and full nuances like red, purple or yellow. The perfect choice for a trendy bride or a second ceremony.

Nude – tattoo. White or nude tulle embellished with intricate embroidery or lace detailing creating a sophisticated sheer “tattoo” effect on the skin.

Twenties’ inspo. Fringes, a low waist and sequins; in 2019 brides will wear linear and shiny dresses that may be flaunted also on other occasions besides the wedding.

Exaggerated volumes: flounces and multi-tiered tulle skirts. To feel like a Princess…

The sleeves are long, fitted, or  gigot style: a perfect solution for early spring or late summer weddings. Discover more from Italian Vogue

Maggie Sottero offers a glamorous selection of wedding gowns that are available to try on at our unrivaled bridal salon without an appointment. Pop in today to see which style is your favorite. Learn more about the latest bridal looks below:

2019 bridal and Couture is stepping back in time to periods of courtly dress, featuring large pleated ruffs, ultra-high necklines, and Victorian-inspired everything. When dressing for a church ceremony, traditional affair, or an ultra-romantic formal event, channel your inner Marie Antoinette.

In her bridal version, we introduce the girl everyone wants to be. The”fashion fairy nymph” is defined by a look that is subtly bohemian, but with a polished effortlessness that is less festival-inspired and feels fresh. Think draped or puff sleeves and collars that are reminiscent of Victoriana, but more rustic than regal and straw, wide-brimmed hats in place of stately floral crowns. A response to athletic streetwear and the boho bride being less au courant, this is the new rustic bride. Read further, compliments of Harper’s Bazaar

Maggie Sottero, style Camden: Shimmering tulle, perfectly ruched in all of the right places completes this gorgeous strapless mermaid wedding gown. The fit-and-flare skirt is edged with horsehair for extra pizzazz. Crystal buttons cascade over the zipper and inside corset closure. The contrasting velvet ribbon belt is included with this wedding dress. Available sizes: 0-28. Available colors: Blush with Black Velvet Ribbon Belt (pictured above), Ivory with Mauve Ribbon Belt.

Off-The-Shoulder Wedding Dress Dreams At NYB&G Columbia

Stella York, style 6697: This divine off-the-shoulder wedding gown features Lace and Tulle over Regency Organza. Feminine scalloped lace completes the sleeves, hemline and neckline for cohesive flow.

Available in a multitude of fabric color combinations including ivory and white lace over ivory, white, java and porcelain illusion. Dress color options include: Ivory, Almond, Moscato and White.

NYB&G Celebrates Bare-Shoulder Romance

The warm atmosphere of New York Bride & Groom’s modern luxury salon invites to to check out the latest bridal trends, without an appointment. If you are on the hunt for a unique and modern wedding gown, we are your one-stop shop. The Meghan Markle effect has swept the industry and off-the-shoulder wedding dresses are in high demand. We love how this bridal style offers a romantic touch to any wedding dress. Demure shoulder straps come in a variety of styles to complete the off-the-shoulder silhouette. Bridal designers are ripe with lacy details, flowing chiffon or stiffer crepe bands and detachable sleeves to achieve timeless and contemporary takes on this bridal style. Discover more reasons why we love this sleeve design below:

The strapless gown has always been a classic, but now it’s facing some serious competition from the off-the-shoulder dress. Like the strapless cut, this style is also a pretty shoulder-baring look, but there’s something inherently more sexy and romantic about it in that it’s a delicate blend of both sassy and sweet. The trend is able to show off a hint of skin without having to bare it all.

It certainly made a bold statement on the fall runways, where designers were able to highlight its range and versatility by incorporating the trend into dresses of various silhouettes. They also played with the cut of the off-shoulder itself, featured in every style from a modern twist to classy elegance. And no longer is the off-the-shoulder gown a summer look only — off shoulders that fall into cascading long sleeves are a gorgeous choice for a fall or winter wedding. Discover more, compliments of Brides

Wtoo, style Savannah: This intricate fit-and-flare style wedding gown offers a lacy, off-the-shoulder neckline for decadent romance. Featuring Ruca Lace, this gorgeous gown offers a chapel train and buttons up the back for an elegant and functional touch. Available colors: Ivory with Oyster lining (pictured above), or Ivory with Ivory, Nude, Blush or Off White lining. Available sizes: 00-32W.

You’ll love bridal shopping without the hassle of booking an appointment months in advance. Stop by when you are feeling fantastic and your schedule allows. Our expert Bridal Consultants will be honored to assist you with some gorgeous options to consider.

The fit-and-flare silhouette is extremely flattering on many body types. Discover more below:

Fit and Flare

The fit and flare style is similar to the A-line style, as the cutting of these dresses are similar, although the fit and flare style is more form fitting. Under the fit and flare style, there is the Mermaid style and the Trumpet style.

Both the Mermaid and the Trumpet style are more sensual as the top of the dress hugs the body while the bottom flares out closer to the body. The difference lies in how the Mermaid style flares out at knee length while the Trumpet style flares out at mid-thigh.

The Mermaid style creates the illusion of a fuller hourglass figure, which makes it best for brides that wish to accentuate their curves. However, if you intend to move around a lot on your wedding day (to dance), this style of dress may not be the best for you, as it does not allow much movement.

The Trumpet style will be more suitable for you if you have an hourglass figure, as the top part of the dress will hug your waist closely. If you have a pear or apple-shaped body, this style may not be ideal for you, as it will draw attention to your stomach and hip area. Z Wedding has more on great wedding silhouettes

Stella York, style 6718+. Become the belle of the ball in this Dove Satin wedding dress. Demure, off-the-shoulder detachable straps create the perfect multi-look option. Enjoy wearing two different styles for the wedding ceremony and reception. The sweetheart bodice adds a touch of extra glamour. This wedding gown features hidden pockets for a chic and functional approach. The cinched waist helps to define the silhouette, making it ideal for every body type. Available with either a lace-up or button finish back for the ultimate comfort and personalization. Available colors: Ivory or White. Available in regular and plus sizes.

To Sleeve Or Not To Sleeve…That Is The Question

The trend of detachable wedding dress sleeves is exciting and versatile. Brides seeking multiple looks for their ceremony, reception and wedding photos will love taking advantage of all of the striking possibilities! Enjoy a strapless look for part of your day and coordinate your wardrobe update seamlessly. NYB&G celebrates hand selected designs specifically for the modern bride. Discover more great inspiration on how to create multiple looks for your wedding day without purchasing two separate wedding gowns below:

Other ideas to create a convertible two-in-one look for your wedding day include adding on accessories. Perhaps you want to remain a little more conservative for the ceremony but be able to let loose for the reception. You could wear a sweetheart strapless gown and layer it with a lace topper, fur bolero or beaded capelet to add a little more cover to your arms and decolletage. These add-ons can easily be removed (or added) between the ceremony and reception to switch up your look, and are generally less expensive than purchasing two separate gowns.

So whether you want two completely different bridal looks that include two separate wedding dresses, or if you just want to add on or remove layers between your wedding and reception, there are options to switch up your wedding day look that suit any size budget.
