Best Pink Wedding Dresses

Brides / Brian Kopinski

If there's one important thing we've learned about wedding planning, it's this: you don't have to follow all the rules. White gowns may be the standard, but as the bride, you're entitled to wear any color gown you want. Opting for something like a pink wedding dress is a fun way to add some color to your look, show off your own personal style, and make your big night a little bit more unique. Not to mention, Barbiecore weddings are having a major moment.

Still, most brides want their pink dresses to look and feel bridal. That’s why we spoke to fashion stylist and personal shopper Elisabeth Kassab for advice on how to pick the right shade, fabric, and silhouette for a pink wedding dress. With her advice, we found the best rosy-hued wedding dresses in a range of sizes, price points, and shades of pink.

Best Lace: Lace Bridal Blush Wedding Dress

Etsy Lace Bridal Blush Wedding Dress

Etsy Lace Bridal

If you want a traditional wedding dress with just a touch of pink, we recommend this design from Etsy seller Lace Bridal. The strapless halter neckline and A-line skirt with chapel train is flattering on all figures. With lace overlay, the design lets a bit of color peep through without being completely saturated in pink. Since this dress is custom made, you can personalize everything from the size to the exact shade of pink. It does take about six to eight weeks to create, so be sure to order well in advance.

Best Satin: Zhivago Beloved Gown

Revolve Zhivago Beloved Gown

Revolve

Sophisticated and sleek, this satin gown is the perfect shade of bubblegum pink. We love the V-neck in both the front and the back, and the sweet details like quilting at the waist and bow straps at the shoulders.

Size: 4-10 | Materials: Satin | Length: Floor-length

Best Sparkle: Olivia Bottega Enn Blush Wedding Dress

Glitter and pink—is there a better combination? Combining a blush satin skirt with a glittering overlay, this dress will make all your Barbie princess visions come true. We love the extra little touches, like the plunging lace bodice and pearl buttons cascading down the back. Best of all, the dress is made to your measurements and you can make slight adjustments, like altering the train or beading, for a dress truly made for you.

Best Budget: Lulus Best Part Of Me Blush Satin Bustier Maxi Dress

Lulus Best Part Of Me Blush Satin Bustier Maxi Dress

Lulus

This sleek satin dress features a bustier top and skinny straps that give it just the right amount of sex appeal. The blush color looks like rose gold without being too metallic, and at just about $100, it's very budget-friendly.

Size: XXS-XL | Materials: Polyester, spandex | Length: Floor-length

Best Corset: Selfa Bridal Shoshana Gown

Etsy Selfa Bridal Shoshana Gown

Etsy Selfa Bridal

Similar to the Lace Bridal Blush Wedding Dress, this design is great for the bride who wants a classic wedding dress with just a splash of pink. From the corset bodice to the fit and flare silhouette, the design packs Old Hollywood glamour. Not to mention, it looks absolutely stunning from the back with a deep v cutout, curve hugging skirt, and scalloped train. 3D floral appliques add that romantic element. We also love how the seller tailors to all sizes and even offers made to measure designs, making it worth the higher price.

Price at the time of publish: from $1,400

Size: 2-22 | Materials: Tulle, Chiffon, Silk | Length: Floor Length

Best Tulle: Mac Duggal Tiered Strapless Tulle A-Line High-Low Gown

Anthropologie Mac Duggal Tiered Strapless Tulle A-Line High-Low Gown

Anthropologie

Perhaps the best word to describe this dress is fun! The A-line silhouette contains rows and rows of tulle, sharing a likeness to ballerina tutus yet at a much longer length. With a slightly higher hemline in the front, the dress makes walking down the aisle easier. 

Price at the time of publish: $798

Size: 0-16 | Materials: Polyester Tulle | Length: Floor-length

Best Off-the-Shoulder: Nookie Neptune Gown

Revolve Nookie Neptune Gown

Revolve

Simple yet sophisticated, this dress is a minimalist's dream. The off-the-shoulder neckline has some draping for a special touch, and the mermaid skirt shows off your curves while the flare train adds some balance. A thigh high-slit creates a moment for your legs, plus makes walking that much easier. Thanks to built-in padded cups, you can potentially go braless, which is always a win in our book.

Price at the time of publish: $309

Size: XS-XXL | Materials: Polyester, Spandex | Length: Floor-length

Best High-Low: Selkie The Fairytale Gown

Revolve Selkie The Fairytale Gown

Revolve

Can’t decide between a mini or floor length wedding dress? This style gives you the best of both worlds. A poofy mini hem is met with a sweeping train in the back for an eccentric aesthetic. Puff sleeves and a floral design make it fit for a fairytale. 

Price at the time of publish: $399

Size: XXS-6X | Materials: Polyester | Length: High-Low

Best See-Through: Lovers and Friends Bobbit Gown

Revolve Lovers and Friends Bobbit Gown

Revolve

We love how this dress is technically floor length, but a transparent bottom half creates a cheeky leg moment. A boned bodice adds some structure and support to the strapless neckline. Covered in tulle rather than lace or embellishments, this dress will feel super lightweight while still stealing the show. Bring on the layers!

Price at the time of publish: $328

Size: XXS-XL | Materials: Nylon, Polyester | Length: Floor Length

Best Floral: V. Chapman Maile Gown

Revolve V. Chapman Maile Gown

Revolve

With a lace-up back and ruffles along the hips, this gown is giving us Bridgerton vibes, but with a modern twist. A boned bodice gives your middle definition and is the perfect contrast for the peplum waist. Tie shoulder straps add a romantic touch while also serving as a way to adjust the fit. A plunging neckline and high slit keep this design in the 21st century. The peachy floral print would look beautiful in any outdoor setting.

Price at the time of publish: $585

Size: 00-10 | Materials: Cotton, Polyester | Length: Floor Length

Best Long Sleeve: Michael Costello x Revolve Heather Gown

Michael Costello x Revolve Heather Gown

Michael Costello x Revolve

If you are getting married in a slightly colder climate, you can’t go wrong with this long sleeved dress. The one shoulder long sleeve is balanced out by a hip grazing slit. While satin tends to show everything, the ruching along the chest, stomach, and hip makes it extra forgiving. An exaggerated train heightens the drama.

Price at the time of publish: $328

Size: XXS-XL | Materials: Viscose, Rayon | Length: Floor Length

Best Mini: ASOS Luxe Bardot Corsage Draped Mini Dress

ASOS Luxe Bardot Corsage Draped Mini Dress

ASOS

We love the idea of changing into a pink mini dress for the reception or after-party, even if you wore a traditional wedding dress for the ceremony. Coming in pale pink and featuring two oversized corsages and bow, this mini dress still feels bridal, so you can even wear it down the aisle. Ruching in the front and back gives your booty a little boost. 

Price at the time of publish: $119

Size: 0-14 | Materials: Polyester | Length: Mini

Best Barbie Pink: NBD Chey Dress

Revolve NBD Chey Dress

Revolve

For that bride that truly wants her Barbie moment, we love this dress from NBD. It comes in the perfect Barbie pink, complete with the sheen that comes with taffeta fabric. The high waist, one shoulder neckline, and long slit are ultra flattering too. A cutout at the bust adds some sexiness while a small train plays up the bridal element. You’ll be ready to greet your Ken in this dress. 

Price at the time of publish: $498

Size: XS-XL | Materials: Polyester, Nylon | Length: Floor-length

What to Look for in a Pink Wedding Dress

Shade

Needless to say, pink comes in a multitude of shade variations. If you want your dress to look as traditional as possible, Kassab recommends sticking to the palest of pinks. You can also look for a dress with a white or ivory lace overlay on top of a pink skirt, like Lace Bridal Blush Wedding Dress, for just a touch of color. 

However, it’s your day, and if you’ll feel happiest in a bright pink gown like NBD Chey Dress, go for it!

Silhouette

Similar to the shade, certain silhouettes can make a pink dress feel very bridal. For a traditional look, Kassab recommends classic wedding dress silhouettes, like floor-length ball gowns, A-line, and mermaid dresses. With its mermaid skirt, long train, and floral embellishments, Selfa Bridal Shoshana Gown, looks undoubtedly bridal. 

If you’re the type of bride that’s ready to throw all traditions out the window, though, we encourage you to experiment with midi, mini, and high low dresses like Selkie The Fairytale Gown.

Embellishments

Besides the color, you also want to consider if you prefer a gown with lace and beaded touches, like Olivia Bottega Enn Blush Wedding Dress, or prefer to stick to simple fabrics like Nookie Neptune Gown. Again, there’s no right or wrong answer—just go with your personal preference.

FAQ
  • What does a pink wedding dress symbolize?

    While white is typically seen as the go-to wedding dress color, pink is another logical choice for the occasion. Representing love, joy, and playfulness, pink is a fitting color for the bride who wears her heart on her sleeve.

  • How do I style a pink wedding dress?

    Since your pink wedding dress is really going to be your standout piece, you can keep the rest of your look more minimal. Think clean, subtle jewelry (gold looks particularly nice with pink) and simple heels.

  • What color shoes do I wear with a pink wedding dress?

    A nude shoe is probably your best option with a pink wedding dress. Simple and versatile, nude will look good with almost any shade and can even be worn for other events. You can also look for pink shoes for a monochrome look.
