In the realm of wedding dresses, trends follow one another but are not the same. If “princess dresses” (Disney style) have long been fashionable, a large number of modern brides-to-be favor bohemian, country, fluid and elegant dresses.
The bohemian wedding dress: a simple and modern choice for your wedding
“For a few years now, the big trend has been the bohemian dressexplains Nadine, wedding dress designer at YN creation. These dresses are characterized by work on crepe, chiffon and satin: they are aimed at brides who want to feel truly free in their movements.“
Very concretely, bohemian dresses “have a triangle-shaped cut at the chest: they are advantageous for all silhouettes, and in particular for older brides who wish to hide a little their stomach, their buttocks…” specifies the stylist. Bohemian wedding dresses can be very sober, or show originality with a plunging backless or a deep neckline. These dresses can be long or short.
We will have understood: in 2024, wedding dresses are especially…”easy to wear dresses!” underlines Nadine. “We see fewer ruffles, fewer pleats, fewer petticoats: “heavy” fabrics (like taffeta) have also gone out of fashion.“
The wedding dress designer notes that, in many cases, brides-to-be favor dresses with cups at the chest level – “they no longer want to wear a bra, they want to lighten up as much as possible.“
In 2024, the wedding dress doesn’t have to be white!
What about colorful wedding dresses? “We still see itreplies the designer. Usually, color comes in small touches: a red lace border, for example. Note: in 2024, we have had some requests for black wedding dresses!“
What about accessories? “We are currently seeing a return of small “fascinator” type hats.remarks Nadine. Otherwise, future brides turn primarily to colorful shoes, short veils, discreet but elaborate jewelry (a beautiful hair clip, for example)…“
I have a small budget: how can I lower the price of my wedding dress? Where to buy it?
Do you want a unique wedding dress, custom-made and perfectly suited to your tastes and body shape? Turn to a designer who will make all your desires come true. However, depending on the popularity of the stylist, the date of your wedding, the desired model, your city of residence… prices can quickly skyrocket!
How to save money on your wedding dress? First option: take a look at the old collections of brands specializing in weddings – among the old models from Pronuptia or Pronovias, you can find little gems at low prices. Without forgetting ready-to-wear (Zara, H&M…) which sometimes offer formal dresses at low prices.

Second option: turn to the second hand. On sites like Vinted, LeBonCoin or even Facebook MarketPlace, you can easily find second-hand but almost new wedding dresses (that is to say: worn for a day) for a very low price. However, vigilance remains essential because scams are common! Another idea: in certain cities (and especially as summer approaches), “special wedding” clearance sales are organized: all you need to do is take the time to look for the ideal dress for your big day…
Third option: rent your wedding dress. For several years, wedding dress rental shops have been popping up all over France. They offer dresses from major brands at unbeatable low prices – generally less than 1000 euros for 2 to 3 days. A great idea when the budget is grim…
