What is a Beaded Wedding Dress?
There are so many styles of beaded wedding dresses brides can choose! From crystals to bugle beads to pearls to beaded lace and more— there is a style of beading for every type of bride. Remember that beading isn’t just for regal wedding dresses! You can find beading on every silhouette, and this detail can work for more casual wedding gowns or glamorous dresses. While beading can add to a dress’s opulence, beaded gowns are available at all price points!
What are Some of the Benefits of Choosing a Beaded Wedding Dress?
Why choose a beaded wedding dress? See below for a few reasons to consider a beaded design:
- Beaded wedding gowns tend to flatter the figure beautifully! Heavier beading can add weight to your dress, but it allows fitted styles to hug the body and may reduce unwanted bunching. Beading is stunning for brides of every shape and size.
- Beading brings the drama for brides who want some extra sparkle! Beaded appliqués on a train, neckline or back add stunning detail for a wow-worthy look.
- There is a type of beading for every bride. From the most glamorous crystals to vintage beading, this detail isn’t exclusive to only one bridal style. You can find more on our post about Sparkly Wedding Dresses for Every Bridal Style!

What are Some Tips to Make Sure my Beaded Dress Looks Gorgeous on my Big Day?
As with all dresses, the key to looking and feeling fabulous is to have the dress altered to fit your body by an experienced seamstress who works with beaded gowns. Your seamstress should be able to replace any beading lost during alterations so that you won’t be missing any sparkle! When it comes to accessorizing, coordinating your jewelry to complement the beading on your gown will also allow for a cohesive and chic look.
