Choosing a wedding jumpsuit for your nuptials is a great alternative to a traditional wedding dress. Don't get us wrong, we love the big princess style dresses on offer but for those looking for a different look, bridal jumpsuits are a fast-growing trend in the world of weddings.
When Sophie Turner opted for a jumpsuit [1], by Ukranian label Bevza, for her marriage to Joe Jonas [2] back in 2019, it was the perfect outfit choice for her Las Vegas ceremony. Super cool Solange Knowles also chose a wedding jumpsuit which featured a chic cape by designer Stéphane Rolland for her big day. And Vogue Williams opted for a Kate Halfpenny bridal jumpsuit for her second wedding party to Spencer Matthews. According to Williams's Instagram [3], she's planning on styling her wedding jumpsuit with a white blazer and wearing it again for a night out.
Kate Halfpenny, Founder and Designer of Halfpenny London [4], says: "Be the bride you want to be, so if a bridal jumpsuit or trousers are for you, then go for it! Feeling bridal has nothing to do with a particular style of garment and everything to do with how it makes you feel." We couldn't agree more!
Wedding jumpsuits certainly have a more modern feel to them for brides who are wanting to break with tradition on their big day. They also offer a comfy-all-day and disco-by-night vibe, meaning you'll be on that dancefloor until the very end.
Should You Wear a Wedding Jumpsuit?
If traditional white dresses aren't your thing, then you might be in the market for something that offers a more individual feel. While some brides-to-be might opt for a black wedding dress [5] or look to a two-piece suit, a bridal jumpsuit is also a great contemporary alternative. Whether you prefer smart and tailored or floaty and feminine, there's plenty of variations to choose from. What's more, jumpsuits make a great party outfit if you want a second look to change into for the reception. If you're looking to repurpose your bridal outfit, then a jumpsuit can offer a more wearable option, too. Style with pops of colour for a trip to the races or a formal party, or even dye it and wear as a wedding guest.
How to Style a Wedding Jumpsuit
For bandeau or spaghetti-strap styles, there are plenty of pretty lace or organza cover-ups designed to be worn over the top. Layers and capes are one of the biggest trends of the season, so adding a delicate layer for a more formal feel that can then be removed later gives two looks in one. Alternatively, if you're looking for a more tailored look then a sharp blazer always ticks the style box.
Consider the leg shape you prefer as well. Cigarette pants offer a more streamlined silhouette while wide-leg trousers give a floaty effect that skims over thighs and hips. The options are endless when it comes to fabrics, too. Lace, crepe, tulle, or silk are all used for wedding jumpsuits. Keep jewellery simple and be sure to go all out on the footwear if your feet are on show.
If you're planning on ditching the conventional white dress and jumping on the wedding jumpsuit trend, then read on for our guide to the best bridal jumpsuits to have you wedding-ready.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Lulas Britney White Lace Halter Jumpsuit
For brides on a budget, Lulas is a great place to look. While it isn't specifically a bridal brand, it does offer a great selection of white and ivory jumpsuits — all just under £100 — that are ideal choices for wedding jumpsuits. This Lulas Britney White Lace Halter Jumpsuit [6] (£86) would suit a bohemian bride having a laid-back beach wedding. The soft lace trousers have a pretty, scalloped hem that falls in a straight leg cut. The lace sits over a nude liner for full coverage and the halter-neck cut shows off shoulders in a chic, stylish way. Try a floral headband for the big day and finish off with fine gold jewellery.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Asos Forever New Fallen Shoulder Bow Jumpsuit
Wrap up in style for your big day with this Asos Forever New Fallen Shoulder Bow Jumpsuit [7] (£120). This one-piece wonder gives all the Sarah Jessica-Parker feels and it's bound to bring a smile to your guests faces as you walk down the aisle. Opt for either a delicate, fine necklace or alternatively go for a pair of statement earrings to balance out the size of the bow. Keep your hair simple and off the shoulder to show off the fun detail. A bright lip could be a modern finishing touch.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Coast Plus Size Embroidered Top Wide Leg Jumpsuit
Who says you have to stick with stark white? If you're after a slightly softer hue, then a blush pink could offer a great alternative (and would work well as a wedding jumpsuit for guests, too). The Coast Plus Size Embroidered Top Wide Leg Jumpsuit [8] (£44, originally £179) includes a band sitting on the waist which serves to lengthen legs. The pretty embroidered mesh top allows a little skin on show while still keeping covered for a feminine feel. Available from sizes 18 to 26, it's a flattering all-in-one that would look super chic when teamed with rose gold jewellery.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Ghost Olive Crepe Wide Leg Jumpsuit
If pared-back, timeless looks are more your style, then this Ghost Olive Crepe Wide Leg Jumpsuit [9] (£195) could be the one for you. A simple wrap design makes it a great choice for fuller busts, while the tie waist helps to create an hourglass silhouette. It's the balloon sleeves for us that makes this one a real contender as the fabric-covered buttons and longline cuffs give a nod to the Seventies that is seriously on trend this summer. A long lace veil would frame this simple crepe style perfectly. Finish off with a pair of statement platform heels to make the look your own; as Sameera Azeem, Creative Director of Ghost says: "Jumpsuits feel modern, versatile, and can be dressed up to suit your personal style".
Wedding Jumpsuits: Azazie Bridal Florine Wedding Jumpsuit
If you want the tradition of a wedding dress in the style of a jumpsuit, then look no further. The Azazie Bridal Florine Wedding Jumpsuit [10] (£319) is available in sizes 4-36 and even in a custom size, so it's a great option or all figures. The floaty chiffon trousers are super flattering as they fall effortlessly to the floor. It's been designed in a longer-than-usual length so that it can be altered to just the right length for your shoes – a super important aspect when it comes to getting the fit right on the day. The dart pleats give it shape, while the lace top offers a more traditional detail giving any bride a classic-meets-modern outfit.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Rotate V-Neck Sequin Jumpsuit
With more and more brides opting for all-over sequins, this Rotate V-Neck Sequin Jumpsuit [11] (£360) screams paaaarty! For a fun, eye-catching look, sequins add a luxe element to your big day and they literally shimmer in the photos. Less is more when it comes to accessories; an all-out look like this needs little additions. Keep your hairstyle in a simple up-do so as not to have too much going on around the neckline. As a bonus, this garment is made from at least 50 percent recycled or upcycled materials. Oh, and one more thing . . . can we just have a moment for those sleeves please? The flared style is serving Studio 54 and we are here for it.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Nadine Merabi Amelia White Jumpsuit
This feather trim Nadine Merabi Amelia White Jumpsuit [12] (£450) is guaranteed to make a statement on your big day. The fully-lined embellished top adds sparkle and opulence to your bridal look, while the feathered cuffs add some fun. It has built-in shoulder pads to add extra shape to your silhouette – and shoulders are big (quite literally!) for SS23. The streamlined, flared trousers are made from a soft crepe fabric ensuring comfort throughout the day, and they fall perfectly over a pair of heels. If you're looking for wedding jumpsuits for guests, then this style also comes in a soft pink and baby blue, so could easily work for more occasions.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Aza White Crepe Feather Fringe Jumpsuit
The Aza White Crepe Feather Fringe Jumpsuit [13] (£495) has it all; bead and sequin embroidery, feather fringe detail, plunging neckline, and pretty bow cuffs. If you want a jumpsuit that's going to say "I've arrived" then this is the one. This style has the added bonus that it can be customised to fit exactly, so measurements can be given and it is made to fit perfectly. Check out the side stripe detail down the outside of the trouser leg for a nod to the tuxedo trend, too. The deep neckline is calling out for a pendant necklace and a pair of drop earrings would complete the look.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Rixo Emilia Silk Tuxedo Jumpsuit
This classic long-sleeved Rixo Emilia Silk Tuxedo Jumpsuit [14] (£565) is a blank canvas for you to make your own with your flowers, accessories, and shoes. It's also a great option if you're looking for something to wear again at a later date. Styled accordingly, this super versatile jumpsuit would suit drinks with friends, a theatre trip, or even a holiday outfit. The silk crepe de chine falls beautifully and the high waisted style is great for those wanting to add some extra inches to their leg length. We'd style this with a statement headpiece and veil for the ceremony.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Max Mara Triacetate Cady Jumpsuit
A simple, but elegant style, this timeless Max Mara Triacetate Cady Jumpsuit [15] (£885) suits anyone wanting a more understated look. The halter-neck allows the backless style to show a little skin while the wide belt nips in at the waist for added shape. The concealed pockets give it a more laid-back feel and the ankle length carrot-fit trousers give the chance to show off some serious shoe glory. Satin lapels in a high shine fabric match the waist belt which gives an interesting texture combination against the material of the jumpsuit. A textured or patterned veil would compliment this style perfectly.
Wedding Jumpsuits: 16 Arlington Taree Feather-Trimmed Jumpsuit
16 Arlington is where minimalism meets maximalism, and this 16 Arlington Taree Feather-Trimmed Jumpsuit [16] (£895) is the epitome of just that. The ostrich feather trim makes it perfect for party wear, but this piece is way too special to be kept to the dancefloor. Strut down the aisle in these power trousers, styled with a long, simple veil for the ceremony. Add extra high heels to elongate your legs and show off the flare cut to its best potential. A pair of decadant, pearl earrings and a dark, berry lip will complete this show-stopping bridal look.
Wedding Jumpsuits: David's Bridal Embellished Bridal Jumpsuit With Overskirt
If you were inspired by Vogue Williams's bandeau bridal jumpsuit then try this David's Bridal Embellished Bridal Jumpsuit With Overskirt [17] (£843, originally £1,123). The all-over beaded lace appliqué design took nearly 10 hours of craftsmanship to achieve, making it definitely special enough for your big day. The overskirt is detachable, meaning you can glide down the aisle, train falling behind you, then whip it off later for some serious moves on the dancefloor. There is also a customisation option if you wanted the overskirt to be a longer length for added drama. This style is also available in plus-sizes making it inclusive for all shapes and sizes.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Rime Arodaky Patsy Tulle and Crepe Jumpsuit
The Rime Arodaky Patsy Tulle and Crepe Jumpsuit [18] (£1,168) is a work of art. From the hand embroidered lace flowers on the bodice and train to the chic cigarette cut of the trousers, it's the perfect marriage between comfort and style. The cropped trouser length allows you to make a statement with your shoes and gives you the chance to showcase a pair of killer heels. Plus, it's just as stunning from the back as it is the front thanks to the low-cut open back design and added embroidered train. The feminine details on this bridal jumpsuit will make you say "I do" in no time.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Galvan Barcelona Bridal Jumpsuit
Taking modernity to the extreme, the Galvan Barcelona Bridal Jumpsuit [19] (£1,195) is the perfect choice for any alternative bride. Simple in style, but with a slick, fashion edge, it makes the ideal choice for someone looking to stray from convention. The artistic, curved cuts are great for smaller busts and boyish frames, adding shape and curves to all the right places. An architectural necklace or a pair of graphic earrings would compliment this style perfectly. Be sure to consider your flowers carefully; a neat bunch of calla lilies would be much better suited to this style than a wild, feminine bouquet.
Wedding Jumpsuits: Alex Perry Bridal Slain Satin-Crepe Jumpsuit
For those looking for a sharp, modern look, this Alex Perry Bridal Slain Satin-Crepe Jumpsuit [20] (£1,787) has a strong fashion feel to it. The stylish all-in-one has a structured, bustier bodice guaranteed to provide a look of understated style and the clean neckline is ideal for showing off some serious statement earrings. The wide, flowing trouser cut falls perfectly and we love the addition of pockets to this style — who doesn't love a pocket?! Why not try adding a blue pointed stiletto peeking out for a pop of colour and to tick off your "something blue" for the big day?
