Baby on Board: How to Find the Perfect Maternity Wedding Dress 

We’ve all heard the rhyme “first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage!”; however, in light of all things coronavirus, the sequence of things has shifted slightly and more and more couples are opting for a baby first -- then the wedding! We’re HERE for this shift in tradition and for all of our BLUSH brides that are opting to start their little families first. In this article, we shed light on how to shop for the perfect maternity wedding dress without compromising style - you boho babes (x2)! Read on to learn how to accentuate that bump before saying “I DO!”

Finding the right silhouette and style for you: 

If you’re opting for a dress that hides your ever growing tummy, a flowy empire waist dress will do wonders at accentuating the tiniest part of your torso and then glide away from the body creating a feminine yet ethereal illusion while masking any added roundness in your midsection. Something like our Ivory Sequins and Tulle Dress with it’s plunging v-neck brings the attention up to your decolletage drawing the eye up and away from the stomach region - with the added bonus of sparkly sequins to add a feminine, elegant touch.

For those that wish to show-off your bump, remember that maternity doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style and form-fitting is totally an appropriate option. Here at BLUSH our dresses are made of soft and stretchy fabrics that are perfect for pregnancy, offering breathability and movement to hug and support your little bun in the oven - comfortably. A mermaid style bridal gown is a great option at hugging all your curves - including your newest one! Like this stunning Lace Mermaid Gown. For more tips and tricks for picking the right silhouette and style take a look at our blog post on How To Find Your Perfect Dress. Pregnant or not, similar rules apply!

Depending on when your big day is, whether it’s one month away or six, be cognisant that a lot can change during that time as your baby grows. The rule of thumb is to add an inch to each measurement for each remaining month of pregnancy from now until your wedding date, so be sure to reference our size guide when picking your perfect dress. We also encourage you to speak with one of our stylists to assist you with fitting to avoid any potential disappointment when your dress is shipped using our messaging option on the site - it’s like a virtual fitting! Also, don’t forget, you can always opt for a Custom Order which will let you work alongside one of our in-house designers to ensure you get a one-of-a-kind dress unique to you and your body with a baby!

For those with baby: 

Maybe you’ve already popped and baby will be with you on your wedding day - how magical to share this most special of days as a family of three! If that’s the case, we suggest a wrap-style dress for comfort and also as an easy way to breastfeed if necessary. We love our Golden Lace Wedding dress for this purpose, a little alternative in the golden hue and perfect for a bohemian wedding. We envision it styled with a flower crown and a stunning wildflower bouquet! A la Reese Witherspoon in the finale of Big Little Lies with her two kiddos at her side *queue happy tears*
