We love a gown that has a bit of personality. Fortunately, the wedding dresses with bows trend is here to stay, and we’re not mad about it!
The great part about this trend is that you get to decide if you want small bow accents or make the bow the shining star of the dress. Plus, bows can go just about anywhere: in the front, back, sides and more.
For the feminine, youthful bride, we’ve gathered a number of fun, flirty and downright bold bow looks for you to choose from. Here’s 21 gorgeous wedding dresses that are simply bow-tiful.
1. Eliza – Vera Wang
Classic meets modern with the strapless Eliza gown from Vera Wang.
The dress itself is a total dream: the Chantilly and Alencon lace, applique bodice and the organza skirt full of tucks and pleats to create soft volume. It’s like you’re gliding on a cloud.
To finish the look, a black grosgrain sash is added to the already-stunning ball gown. The best part is the bow sash is totally detachable, meaning you can tie it on right before the reception for a bold addition.
2. Kielle – Amsale
For a more discreet and simple bow accessory, the Kielle gown from Amsale is classic.
We love the tiny bow detail on the back of the belt, adding extra dimension to the simple yet elegant fit-and-flare silhouette.
True to Amsale fashion, the gown really emphasizes shape versus needing to add a ton of shine.
It’s the perfect pick for a sophisticated bride.

3. Chase – Sottero and Midgley
Romantic, sparkly and slightly sensual perfectly describes this next gown.
The Chase ball gown by Sottero and Midgley, a subset collection from designer Maggie Sottero, is absolutely fabulous.
We love the patterned glitter tulle for a total princess moment.
Plus, the sweetheart neckline paired with the corset bodice detailing really creates a confident wedding-day look.
You won’t want to miss the Chase gown.
4. VRM376 – Viktor & Rolf
This next style is fresh off Viktor & Rolf’s Spring/Summer 2024 Mariage collection.
This dress is perfect for the bow aficionado, which is a signature look from the designers. We adore the vertical bows that get bigger and bigger as they cascade down the bride’s back.
The rest of the dress is a simplistic bride’s dream. The classic satin A-line gown is modern and clean and the v-neck (although not featured) has amazing geometric details. You’ll definitely want to check out this entire collection.
5. Stand By Me – Anne Barge
Another fun and flirty moment here with Anne Barge’s Stand By Me dress.
We’re vibing the angular ruffle skirt, but the dramatic bow takes the cake here.
This dress is also a great option for the bride wanting something a little out of the box.
Not only is it a midi-length dress but the raised stripe knit jacquard fabric is an extra-unique detail.
This bride is ready to dance the night away and have a blast with her family and friends!
6. Privee 20-P102 – Berta
Beautiful Berta never disappoints, and now she’s bringing the bow detail to her sensual designs.
This Privee gown is the epitome of vintage sexy with its trumpet silhouette and scoop neckline. The spaghetti straps have a whimsical touch at the top—dainty tulle bows on either side.
We can just imagine this gown gliding down the aisle at a romantic garden wedding or on the beach for a destination wedding. The options are endless to show off this stunning Berta gown!
7. 1254 – Martina Liana
We’ve mentioned clean, modern designs are a favorite of ours, but this Martina Liana gown is architecturally amazing.
The fit-and-flare silhouette paired with the sculpted bodice is perfect for accentuating the bride’s curves and it’s oh-so sophisticated.
The large bow back does a great job of giving this elegant gown a touch of softness without overpowering the simplistic design.
It’s the perfect balance.
8. Campbell – Justin Alexander
Another great bow back option is this ivory stretch Mikado gown.
Instead of the bow being in the lower back, it’s nestled at the top of the low-cut keyhole.
Again, it’s another way to really embrace a clean, modern gown with visual interest that isn’t sparkle, glitter or lace.
Finish the look with white pumps, chandelier earrings and a sleek bun for a feminine yet chic wedding-day ensemble.
The Campbell gown is an absolute gorgeous addition to the Justin Alexander collection.
9. FB23-301G – Naaem Khan
A great way to incorporate a bow into your wedding look is to add a belt, especially if there’s a fancy bow tie involved!
This satin ruffle gown, from Naaem Khan’s Fall 2023 collection, is very elegant and classy.
We love the high neckline and the thin slit leading down to the bow. It’s the perfect accent before revealing the large, flowy (and definitely twirl-worthy) skirt.
It screams high fashion and we’re obsessed.
10. 7501 – Stella York
We’re a sucker for Old Hollywood glam, and bridging it with sleek, modern lines just makes sense.
The classic square neckline and wide-set straps frame the bride in a timeless fashion and the boning in the bodice adds a hint of sexy to this Mikado gown. We’re loving the voluminous train, similar to the previous gown, for added flair.
For the grande finale, the detachable bow at the bottom of a slightly scooped back. It’s chic and glamorous all in one.
11. Ziva – Willowby
Moving in a totally different direction, this is a dream for the boho bride that craves a romantic touch.
If you’re looking for something truly unique, this ivory-nude sheath gown by Willowby, an extension of designer Watters, boasts geo lace and button-front details.
A thin ribbon bow ties the look together and slightly accents the bride’s curves.
Be sure to check out the Ziva gown. We’re certain that you’ll fall in love with it right away!
12. City of Light – BHLDN
For a unique bow accent, this City of Light gown from BHLDN is an amazing choice.
The halter neckline features a black bow tie with a vintage feel and we love the silky A-line silhouette.
This wedding dress brings a sense of class in its subtlety yet it also has just enough detail to please any type of bride.

13. RWG4074 – David’s Bridal
Want to look and feel like an angel and be environmentally-friendly at the same time? This beautiful gown, made of recycled crepe fabric, is romantic and feminine.
The off-the-shoulder ruffle sleeves add dimension and a sexy touch when paired with the slit in the skirt.
A soft bow sash ties the look together and helps define the bride’s waist.
A sweeping train is the perfect end to this dreamy gown.
14. Emma – Monique Lhuillier
Another fabulous bow option is this oversized ribbon sash with a lace edge.
Chantilly lace covers this beautiful Monique Lhuillier creation and it’s very lightweight for a gown featuring four layers of tulle and two layers of silk.
It’s a great option for the bride who wants something princess-like but not over the top.
15. Love – Pnina Tornai
If you’ve ever watched Say Yes to the Dress, then you’re familiar with Pnina Tornai.
Not only does she create stunning gowns, but she keeps up with all the wedding dress fashion trends like large bows!
This long-sleeved Mikado A-line gown boasts a high neckline, low V-back and a stunning, large bow.
Bonus: it has pockets! It’s truly a dreamy look for the bride craving regal sophistication.
16. MN1E207121 – Adrianna Papell
Switching gears, it may not be a dress but it deserves a place on this list all the same.
This stunning Adrianna Papell jumpsuit had to make our list of gorgeous bow looks.
Made of lightweight woven stretch crepe, this ivory jumpsuit features feminine bow accents on both shoulders.
We love the jumpsuit trend almost as much as the bow trend, so this is a match made in heaven for us.
It’s perfect for the bride that wants to break from the traditional wedding gown and get something a bit more sophisticated.
17. Corday – Pronovias
If you’re wanting a show-stopping bow for your wedding day, this is the gown for you.
This take-notice A-line wedding dress from designer Pronovias is the epitome of drama.
From the 2023 Versailles collection, the Corday gown boasts a bateau neckline, slightly puffed long sleeves and a stunning V-back.
It’s totally elegant and the large organza bow on the train takes the cake for the most dramatic bow we’ve seen in a while.
18. Branwell – Sachin & Babi
For a more subtle bow back, this sheath/column gown from Sachin and Babi’s 2022 collection is a winner.
It’s simple. It’s casual. It’s romantic.
The crepe fabric really accentuates the bride’s figure without being too revealing.
It’s a great choice for a simple garden ceremony or even eloping at City Hall.
19. Helga – Allure Bridals
Similar to the dreamy Berta gown, this all lace, A-line gown by Allure Bridals is so romantic.
The Helga gown, from the 2022 collection, is sparkly and glamorous.
Adorned with 3D flowers, soft tulle, and spaghetti straps featuring lovely bows, there’s alot of features that draw the eyes.
We love this ultra-feminine look and think it would look great for a beach wedding or an intimate outdoor affair.
20. Amanda – Galia Lahav
From Galia Lahav’s Do Not Disturb collection, bring sexy back with this sexy-glam gown.
French lace is embroidered all over the gown, including the plunging V-neck and low back.
The show-stopper here is the sheer tulle sleeves and the dramatic cascading bow details at the bottom.
It’s truly a heavenly wedding-day look with a sophisticated twist.
