Stunning styles for your perfect beach, tropical, or overseas ceremony
Planning a destination wedding in 2025? Whether you’re saying “I do” on a white-sand beach, a cliffside villa in Italy, or a tropical garden in Bali, your wedding dress should reflect the beauty and atmosphere of your chosen destination. This year’s destination wedding dress trends are all about effortless elegance, lightweight fabrics, and versatile designs made for travel and outdoor ceremonies. Let’s explore the top styles to watch.
Breathable materials like chiffon, organza, and silk crepe are leading the way for 2025. Brides are opting for flowy, unstructured silhouettes that move beautifully in the breeze—ideal for a beach wedding dress or a ceremony in warmer climates. These fabrics not only keep you cool but also pack well, making them perfect for travel.
Pro tip: Look for wrinkle-resistant materials or choose dresses that can be easily steamed once you arrive. The Nirit skirt from the Mix & Match Collection is the perfect example for an unstructured silhouette that flows beautifully in the breeze.
2025 brides are practical and stylish. Designers are now offering wedding dresses for travel that come with foldable bodices, convertible skirts, and even detachable trains. These styles make it easier than ever to pack your dress in a carry-on or suitcase without sacrificing fashion.
Bonus trend: Two-in-one destination wedding dresses that transform from ceremony to reception with a quick change are making waves. Opt for a 2-in-1 look with the beautiful detachable sleeves from the Nele.
Boho wedding dresses are the go-to for many destination brides in 2025. Think lace wedding dresses, bell sleeves, backless designs, and effortless shapes. They’re particularly popular for beach and garden weddings where a barefoot walk down the aisle is not only acceptable but encouraged. The perfect bohemian wedding dress is the Lumen, with its stunning lace details and sexy low back.
Clean lines and minimalist styles are trending this year. Brides are leaning into modern destination wedding dresses with sleek silhouettes, spaghetti straps, and square necklines. These dresses work beautifully against scenic backdrops, letting the natural beauty of your venue—and you—take center stage.
Tip: This style looks incredible in photos, especially for sunset ceremonies. With the Nash you will get amazing wedding photos. The cuffed neckline with the elegant mermaid silhouette is a great combo.
Even in more relaxed settings, 2025 brides still want a wow factor. Expect to see destination wedding dresses featuring open backs, criss-cross straps, and plunging V-cuts. Dramatic but detachable trains are another rising trend, allowing for ease of movement while still making a grand entrance. The dramatic bow on the detachable train of the Nidia will give you the flexibility that you want on your special day.
The best destination wedding dress is one that combines comfort, style, and practicality. In 2025, the focus is on embracing your environment—whether it’s the sea, mountains, or jungle—while expressing your personal bridal style. From flowy beach wedding dresses to modern minimalist gowns, there’s something for every globe-trotting bride.
Planning a destination wedding? Don’t forget to factor in travel time, weather, and cultural considerations when choosing your dress. And above all, make sure you feel confident and beautiful—wherever your love story takes you.
