EMBELLISHED WEDDING DRESSES | FOR THE MODERN BRIDE
If more traditional, plainer wedding dresses aren’t your vibe and the call of an embellished wedding dress is loud, look no further than Waxflower Bridal’s scintillating selection of glorious glittering embellished wedding dresses.
Be bold in your choice and dive headfirst into our glittering rails where many an embellished wedding dress (as well as jumpsuits, playsuits, capes etc.) patiently await you, their sparkling forms ready and waiting to hit the aisle! We love a dash of (or to be fully drenched in) sparkle here at my beautiful Bristol bridal boutique, and as you’ll see, our embellished wedding dress edit truly reflects that. Get ready for golden gowns with dazzling sequin blooms, playful sequin-adorned jumpsuits and highly-embellished capes that you’ll never want to take off. And, for a lot of these pieces, particularly the Bowen Dryden designs, you can bring your own unique style to the table by having them created in bespoke colours! Sound good? We thought so!
NO.1 GOLDEN by BOWEN DRYDEN
That aforementioned gold sequin wedding dress we were just talking about? Well she really is as good as she sounds. Meet GOLDEN by Bowen Dryden. This glorious design sparkles from every angle, whilst simultaneously delivering a cool silhouette (with cute cut outs) to the table. Not only will you love those voluminous sleeves and that glittering train, you’ll adore that you can have her made in varying colour palettes too! Just like our Waxflower Bride, Rebecca did!
NO.2 SILVERFISH by BOWEN DRYDEN
If gold isn’t your vibe, but silver is, wait until you see SILVERFISH by Bowen Dryden! This achingly cool beauty by the designer will sweep you off your feet with its cool silhouette. Get ready for a striking, low open-back, two leg splits, long-sleeves and THAT fringing detail. Literally the stuff of embellished wedding dress dreams!
NO.3 RAINBOW by BOWEN DRYDEN
If the gold or silver colour palette isn’t quite enough, and you’d rather have every colour you can get your hands on when it comes to the colour palette of your embellished wedding dress, behold RAINBOW by Bowen Dryden! This unforgettable iridescent sequin wedding dress is truly something special and perfect if you’re looking to cause a stir! Plus, we just adore those kimono sleeves!
NO.4 GILDED LILY SEQUIN by BOWEN DRYDEN
Get ready for GILDED LILY SEQUIN by Bowen Dryden, another heavenly silver sequin option that awaits you on Waxflower Bridal’s sparkling rails. And, this gown’s silhouette is just EVERYTHING. Dramatic sleeves with cuffs, a stunning open, statement back and beautiful detailing on the shoulders will make this embellished wedding dress a definite contender for your wedding day.
NO.5 LILY STARBURST JUMPSUIT by BOWEN DRYDEN
For those who would prefer a jumpsuit for the aisle or the afterparty, discover the LILY STARBURST JUMPSUIT. Ridiculously cool, you’ll love the sequin embroidery that details this fabulous design.
NO.6 EXCLUSIVE LILY STARBURST DRESS by BOWEN DRYDEN
And I, of course, had to follow the above with our EXCLUSIVE LILY STARBURST DRESS by Bowen Dryden. This incredible, whimsical design is beautifully embroidered and adorned with beading, delivering a truly ethereal, embellished wedding dress to the table for the bride looking for something a little different. She’s a firm favourite in the boutique.
NO.7 LET’S DANCE by BOWEN DRYDEN
If you love a sequin, but only fancy a little nod to this adornment, turn to the showstopping style of our LET’S DANCE dress by Bowen Dryden. With beading and embroidery on the front of the bodice (as well as the back, on two gorgeous sheer illusion panels) not to mention that INCREDIBLE silhouette and puff sleeves, she is one unforgettable embellished wedding dress.
NO.8 VALENTINE by BOWEN DRYDEN
For those brides who are after a shorter hemline, meet VALENTINE by Bowen Dryden. This playful, strapless embellished wedding dress is peppered with gorgeous red sequin hearts and a huge, oversized bow that will immediately steal your heart. All you need now is a fabulous pair of shoes!
NO.9 MAYBLOSSOM by BOWEN DRYDEN
MAYBLOSSOM by Bowen Dryden is in the building! The perfect option if you’re looking for an embellished wedding dress in a more traditional hue, MAYBLOSSOM arrives with a truly elegant, enchanting statement back, soft A-line silhouette and organza skirt and top (making it super light for a full skirt). It’s also all hand beaded on the top, with a removable lining underneath (meaning you can easily switch up your look).
NO.10 PEACH BLOSSOM by BOWEN DRYDEN
This stunning, hand beaded peach embellished wedding dress is bringing all of the whimsical vibes this 2025. Featuring GLORIOUS ethereal flutter sleeves (that move beautifully, FYI) PEACH BLOSSOM by Bowen Dryden really is the stuff of bridal dreams (especially if you don't fancy white or ivory for the aisle). And, that embroidery and beading? Just sublime.
And, trust me when I say that’s not ALL the embellished wedding dresses (and jumpsuits, and capes etc.) that we have at Waxflower Bridal here in Bristol. Oh no, many more incredible embellished bridal styles await you. Book your appointment today and step inside our whimsical world to discover all the options!
