Congratulations, a mom-to-be and a bride-to-be, too!!

Double the excitement is all the more reason to gather your loved ones for a major celebration. There’s something so amazing about a wedding that includes the littlest member of the family. Naturally, the first question that probably crosses your mind is:

“How do I choose a comfortable and stylish maternity wedding dress?”

It’s not as daunting as you may think. For some essential advice on selecting and accessorizing a pregnancy outfit, continue reading. Better still, we've located a few breathtaking wedding gowns that are ideal for moms with growing babies. Purchases made through links on this page may help you get a bump-friendly wedding gown.

|Belly growth and personal style

Obviously, the most poignant aspect to focus on is the stage of your belly growth on the wedding day. However, there are no rules when it comes to pregnancy wedding dresses. It all depends on what makes you comfortable!

You may want to opt for a figure-hugging dress well into your final trimester. Or, you may want to wear a flowing, loose and draped dress to fall easily over the belly.

It all depends on your own style. If you’re a bodycon kinda lady then don’t force yourself into a boho gown. If you’re a country-chic gal, don’t feel you have to go for modern classic. Just make sure that your gown allows you to be as comfortable as possible on the big day, no matter the stage of your baby bump growth.

Aim for easy movement, climate-appropriate fabrics, and room for growth spurts.

|Season and venue

When selecting a maternity wedding dress, the season is a crucial factor to take into account, particularly for pregnant brides.

If you’re having a summer wedding during your second or third trimester, you absolutely should prioritize comfort. The last thing you want is to be squeezed into a hot, thick, itchy or restrictive dress during a sweltering day with the added effort of carrying a prominent baby bump!

A few other questions to consider:

• Is your wedding indoor or outdoor?
• Is there chance of wind or sharp breezes?

If so, a heavier or less floaty dress fabric is always a great choice. This means you don’t have to constantly hold down your dress or worrying about exposing your baby bump to guests.

|Dress length

Remember that a large bump will create a shortened hemline at the front of the dress. So it pays to go for an extra-long gown if you’re after a floor-length look.

The same holds true for tea length cocktail dresses. If you’re going to be into your third trimester on the day, you might be facing swollen feet and a comfy shoe choice. In this case, a floor length dress is best as you can wear fluffy slippers if you want!
