Best Slip Wedding Dresses With Inspiration From Our Real Brides 

Best Classic Satin Slip Dresses

Are satin slip dresses appropriate for weddings? The answer is yes! Actually, anything you want to wear to your wedding is appropriate! Whether you're a fan of bridal suits and jumpsuits or short wedding dresses, you can absolutely wear them all. One of the reasons why slip wedding dresses are appropriate is because they're so elegant and chic. The glossy satin material adds a quiet luxury element to your day and the more fitted nature of the dress is laid back enough to not be super in-your-face but still flattering! Below are some classic styles we love.

Cowl Neck or Strapless Slip Dresses For Weddings

The beauty of slip dresses for weddings is in their simplicity. However, if you did want to add a little something to your dress, why not experiment with the neckline? Choose a cowl neck or strapless moment depending on what you feel is comfortable for you! If choosing a cowl neck, consider adding a dainty wedding necklace to accessorise. Whereas a strapless wedding dress is a match made in heaven with some statement pearl earrings! So chic! Take a look at this real wedding to see how the bride wore her dress throughout the day into the evening.

Best Open Back Satin Slip Dresses

Slip wedding dresses are traditionally long and have quite high coverage of the chest but if you'd like to take the saying 'business in the front and party in the back' literally, then an open-back slip wedding dress is the way to go. Satin dresses are so flattering because of the way the material hugs the right curves and elegantly glosses over others. Normally, most brides have their dream wedding dress envisioned in their head but we highly recommend trying on some different styles you wouldn't always go for because you might surprise yourself!

Halter Neck Slip Dresses

Halter neck slip dresses for weddings are one of our absolute favourite styles! Drawing onlookers' eyes up to the shoulders automatically balances your frame out. A halter-neck wedding dress looks great with long flowing locks or a sleek or messy updo! We have plenty of wedding hair inspiration if you need some help making a decision. Just take a look at our brides below to see how they did it!

The Best Plunge Satin Slip Dresses

Slip dresses for weddings are definitely a show-stopping moment without being extravagant with a full-on princess wedding skirt! If your back and shoulders aren't an area you want to show off, consider a deeper v-neck or plunging neckline. The floor-length gown is just so classic and is perfect for a more modern bride seeking a contemporary city wedding or adding a more laid-back take on the traditional country house wedding.

Sparkly Slip Dresses For Weddings

Now you know we just love a bit of sparkle! Here are some brides that do too! Opt for sparkle on your actual dress with some beading or sequins or choose to add on extras. These brides have chosen sparkly capes and glittering veils, which are great if you think you might like to build on your sparkle and remove them at certain points throughout your wedding day. Keep it stripped back and sleek for your ceremony before adding on a sparkling cape for your reception. The choice is all yours!

Halter neck, cowl neck, strapless, and open back, we've got all of the most popular styles of slip wedding dresses!
