The best maternity wedding dresses — whether you’re expecting or have just given birth

Okay, okay, so, techincally this is a cover-up, not a dress, but not everyone wants to wear a gown for their “I do”s. Maybe you’ve found the perfect strappy dress but want to style it up or picked a bump-friendly skirt but can’t decide on your top. A wrap-top is a maternity essential and this one is fit for floating down the aisle.

Tying the knot in an oh-so-casual beachside ceremony? Then staying cool is paramount and this linen blend tunic from H&M is the answer to all your wedding dress woes. Style with an elegant up do and pretty jewellery for big day vibes.

Boho vibes are so in for 2025–the perfect floaty trend for mamas to be to get in on the fashion action. This tiered, bardot number will have you and bump swishing down the aisle in style.

For pregnant brides on a budget, look no further than Club L’s maternity wedding dress offering. Specifically, this gorgeous ruched, bardot design. While the premium stretch jersey will stretch comfortably over your bump, the sophisticated silhouette still has plenty of sex appeal.

This body-skimming dress defo has enough space for a lil’ bump to have breathing room. Style with ivory court heels and a ruched satin clutch for a look that nods to Parisian chic.

Again, not a maternity-specific dress, but still perfect for anyone who’s expecting. This would look so gorgeous with dainty ballet flats and a bouquet of wildflowers at an intimate countryside wedding.

Or, for a similar design but with a shorter hem length, what about this Reformation mini? A pretty ruched bodice features adjustable straps and a flared skirt.

Okay, we’re getting into non-specific maternity wedding dress territory here, but just because a dress isn’t specifically marketed for mamas-to-be doesn’t mean you can’t make it work for your big day. Case in point, this Sister Jane design. The halterneck, A-line silhouette will easily accommodate a growing bump.

Ditto Ghost. Their satin designs are perfect for weddings, and this ivory midi could easily work for an expecting bride with its full skirt and empire silhouette.

Layered tulle creates swishy skirts that can easily flow around a baby bump thanks to the voluminous skirt and empire waist of this Needle & Thread design. Scattered with silver polka dot sequin motifs, you'll sparkle on your big day – as you should.

After a short wedding dress? This cross-over bodice design is fun and flirty with a flared skirt and dipped V back. It’s also nursing friendly as an extra bonus!

This maternity wedding dress with embellished cape is a vintage dream. It gives plenty of drama at the back, making a veil an optional but not necessary addition.

This lace wedding dress will have you feeling like a royal on your big day–those sleeves are very Kate Middleton. Delicate floral embellishments add a touch of whimsy and mesh lace finishes this design perfectly.

Seraphine’s long sleeve lace dresses are ultra-pretty, and look far more expensive than their price tag suggests. This gown decorated with all-over lace embroidery is fit for a princess. It’s also on sale for over half price but be speedy, there are limited sizes left.

For a maternity wedding dress you can wear if you’re expecting again for garden parties and springtime celebrations, this Bella maxi dress from maternity brand Tiffany Rose fulfils the brief and then some. We love the flattering wrapped front and tiered hem.
