Congratulations! You’ve found your perfect person, you’ve got a ring on that finger, and maybe even secured a venue. Now we can focus on the best part of wedding planning: finding the perfect wedding dress!
Everyone knows that the focal point of the night is the bride’s dress. Of course, for technical reasons, we’re saying the night is all about you and your partner starting a new life together. But let’s be honest: Your wedding night is all about you and your gorgeous gown–or at least, mostly about that.
There’s nothing more exciting than shopping for wedding dresses (especially Lulus wedding dresses, just saying). Your big day is the one chance you get to show off your personality and turn heads in a beautiful, stunning gown. And this year, we’ve got tons of new styles and accessories that are sure to stun at your fall wedding.
Lace

OK, lace is a look that will never go out of style. Appropriate for any time of year, the fabric is romantic, effortless, and notably stylish. It’s not often that you’ll have an opportunity to wear lace, so why not incorporate it into the one opportunity you’ll have to wear a wedding dress? Another great thing about this fabric is the number of varied options: From delicate eyelash lace to boho crochet lace, there’s a look that fits any vibe and venue–whether that’s a courthouse, beach, or ballroom.
Stretch Satin

Stretch satin is a perfect choice for those that are planning on partying all night long. This fancy fabric has a smooth, sexy texture that just feels glamorous–and it’s a way to add shine if you’re not into embellishments like beads or sequins. Stretch satin is a bit of a thicker material, making it perfect for those cooler months. A classic wedding staple, satin is the ideal option for brides searching for a more timeless look on their wedding day, whether it’s in the form of a ballgown or a midi slip dress.
Crepe

Crepe is basically the diametrical opposite of satin. This sturdy, shine-free material is perfect for the minimalist bride or anyone looking to really accentuate their curves during their nuptials. Touted as a less formal approach, crepe looks great when paired with simple styles like sleek mermaid dresses and even bridal jumpsuits.
Long Sleeve

Long-sleeve wedding dresses are quickly becoming the hottest bridal trend on the market. The best thing about choosing a long sleeve dress for your big day is the wide variety of choices. Since there are so many options these days, anyone can find a dress that fits their personality. For the trendy bride, consider a dress with puff-, balloon- or bell sleeves. For the more classic bride, try options with elegantly fitted sleeves.
Two-Piece
