Researching fall bridesmaid dresses and keep coming across burgundy gowns? While this color is an excellent pick for fall, we understand you probably want to see some other options. After all, every venue is different—and you probably want your bridesmaid dresses to complement the vibe perfectly.

Well, you’re in the right place. We’re showing you five stunning fall bridesmaid dresses. And guess what—they aren’t red!

🧡 Five Fall Bridesmaid Dresses for Any Venue 🍁

Here are five fall bridesmaid dresses that are perfect for any venue—from outdoor woodland venues to indoor halls and restaurants.

1. For rustic weddings: orange satin dress

Deeper shades of red, orange, and yellow are great colors for fall bridesmaid dresses—especially if you’re planning a rustic wedding (like at a barn, farm, or lodge).

Amongst the wood and changing colors of the leaves, these shades fit in beautifully. If you want to veer away from the classic burgundy red, a burnt orange (like sienna) would be our top pick. It looks great on all skin types and will bring out your gals’ lingering summer tans.

Rustic weddings are usually more casual, so you can totally get away with a bridesmaid dress that has spaghetti straps and a high slit. What about the fabric? Well, because your wedding isn’t in the scorching summer months, you can opt for any material. For this color, we love satin. It’s so warm and luxurious!

2. For restaurant weddings: charcoal chiffon dress

Booking out a restaurant for your fall wedding? Then a dark neutral-colored bridesmaid dress would be a sleek choice!

Restaurant venues are very popular these days—especially if the wedding is an intimate affair (and you expect rain). Typically, the dress code is much like a formal dinner party. So you can choose something less traditional here.

As we enter the fall season, dark neutral colors, like black or gray, take over our wardrobes. So they’re a natural fit for a fall bridesmaid dress! If your gals want a dress that’s both warm and chic, look for high necklines or thicker materials. Jewel is always good choice to add some sparkles to the dress. (And it’s easy on the eyes, too!)

3. For woodland weddings: sage chiffon dress

Oh, sage! We absolutely love this color for fall bridesmaid dresses. It’s incredibly versatile for any venue, but we especially love it for woodland weddings.

You may be tempted to look for dark green dresses to match the trees and botanical decor. However, that shade would blend in too well with the background. This sage green fits in and stands out at the same time!

If you envision a whimsical vibe, your fall bridesmaid dress should feature dreamy details, like off-the-shoulder sleeves and drapey fabric like chiffon. Imagine the photos under the fairy lights at sunset! Gorgeous!

4. For mountain weddings: sapphire satin dress

Does your wedding venue sit atop a mountain and offer spectacular views? With blue skies on the horizon, we recommend sapphire for your fall bridesmaid dress!

Jewel tones are popular for fall bridesmaid dresses, but sapphire is particularly fitting if the sky is your backdrop. This color is also a great choice if your wedding is by the water. (And can we just say we’re jealous that your fall weather is still warm!)

As we mentioned, satin is a luxurious fabric perfect for the cooler months. And it’s not a fabric we get to wear every day, so your bridesmaids will be thrilled!

5. For estate/banquet hall weddings: mauve lace dress

Planning a formal wedding at a large estate or banquet hall? Then don’t hold back on your fall bridesmaid dress! Find a gown that brings some sparkle.

This mauve dress is covered in lace and embellished with jewels and sequins. It also has a satin waistband. Not only is this super glam, but it also cinches the waist—and who doesn’t love an hourglass shape?

Mauve is another popular color for bridesmaid dresses because it looks great on any skin tone and matches any color scheme and venue. So no matter what the decor is, this dress will fit right in.

You’re planning a summer wedding, and the time has come to find your bridesmaid dresses.

As the bride, you’re unarguably the star of the show. But you probably want your favorite ladies to shine on your special day too. After all, they’ll be in the majority of your photos!

Of course, you’ll want your bridesmaid dresses to complement the venue, the color scheme, and your own wedding dress. But to win your bridesmaids over, it should also be flattering and comfortable to wear.

It’s quite the task, but we’re here to make it easier by showing you bridesmaid dresses that look great, feel great, and are perfect for summer weddings.

🌼 Four summer bridesmaid dresses your gals will love 🌿

Summer weddings are usually quite warm, so your bridesmaids will want something breathable. Easy-peasy. We’re showing you four chiffon summer bridesmaid dresses that are comfortable and airy—but still Instagram-worthy!

1. Champagne chiffon dress with floral applique

Off-white and light colors like ivory, cream, and champagne are popular picks for bridesmaid dresses—especially for summer weddings.

Why? Well, practically speaking, light colors retract heat and will keep your bridesmaids cool. But let’s be honest, they’re also great for showing off summer tans.

These colors are also very neutral, so it’ll be easy to match any color scheme and complement your white wedding dress. Of the bunch, our favorite is champagne. It’s a celebratory color—and your wedding is definitely something to celebrate!

If you’re taking photos in a garden, these colors will really pop against the greenery in the background. To accentuate the flowers around you, look for bridesmaid dresses that incorporate floral details, like applique.

2. Gray chiffon dress with ruched bodice

Gray is another hot color right now for summer bridesmaid dresses. They match nearly any color scheme or venue—from boho beach to rustic farmhouse weddings. And like most light colors, they bring out your bridesmaids’ sexy summer tans. (Yes, please!)

When picking a summer bridesmaid dress, it’s essential to find something that’ll look great on any body type. If your girls feel beautiful, it’ll show on camera!

When in doubt, we recommend choosing a dress with an A-line silhouette. You can also look out for dresses with flattering features. For example, this bodice is ruched and has an accentuated waistline, which creates a slimming effect.

If your wedding is beachfront, gray will also pick up your backdrop’s beautiful blue hues. Make sure to get the bridesmaids together at sunset for some jaw-dropping snaps!

3. Sage chiffon dress with airy sleeves 

Sage is all the rage when it comes to summer bridesmaid dresses. This light green color flatters any skin type and picks up any greenery around it. So if you’re planning a botanical wedding, sage is the perfect choice for your bridesmaid dresses.

When it comes to the sleeves of your bridesmaid dresses, there are many options! Instead of tight fits or heavy materials, we recommend flowy sleeves or barely-there straps. As you can see, these off-the-shoulder sleeves secured by spaghetti straps are a great way to add some flair without compromising comfort. Plus, how cute would they look in photos as they catch the summer breeze?!

Amongst the fairy lights and botanical decor, this is the perfect dress for capturing your wedding’s whimsical vibe.

4. Mauve chiffon dress with sweetheart neckline

Ah, mauve. This pale shade of purple has been around for years, and for good reason! It makes any skin tone glow, photographs beautifully, and brings romance to this day of love. What more could you ask for?

If your summer bridesmaid dresses are mauve, we say dial up the femininity with a sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder sleeves. A bare neckline with a simple updo is so chic. Plus, your bridesmaids won’t have to worry about what accessories to wear or figuring out how to curl their hair!

Mauve truly goes with any venue—from beachfront to garden. Our only tip is to get some photos together during golden hour. No Instagram filter will be required for these beautiful shots!

If you’ve landed on this blog, you’re probably looking for dress ideas for your fall wedding—and may have left the shopping a wee bit late. That’s okay! With so many options online, you don’t have to buy a gown a year in advance. Just make sure you’ve had time to try it on in case alterations are needed.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. First, you need to find the perfect wedding dress. And we know your inner fashionista wants to know all the fall wedding trends and how to work them into your outfit. That’s where we can help.

🍂 Five Dresses That Capture Fall Wedding Trends 🔔

Instead of telling you these fall wedding trends, why don’t we show you? Here are five wedding dresses that’ll make you look like a model walking the runway.

1. Ball gown with tulle ruffled skirt

Ball gown skirt. Check! Ruffles. Check! This gown ticks off two fall wedding trends—and they’re especially hot this year.

Why? During the pandemic, brides were forced to have small, intimate weddings—or wait until they could host larger gatherings. Now, finally, brides can have the big wedding of their dreams—and they need a dress to match.

For that reason, ball gown skirts and ruffles will be on trend for the next few years. We love that these tulle ruffles add volume but not a lot of heaviness. You can still dance the night away without breaking a sweat.

Ball gown wedding dresses also make you look oh-so-tiny up top. To further accentuate your hourglass shape, add a thin embellished belt!

2. Embellished A-line gown with 3D floral applique

Florals are not just for spring and summer. They totally make it on the list for fall wedding trends. But they have to be bold.

How? You could introduce color or add dimension. 3D applique is one of our favorite ways to rock the floral trend. Mixing texture is a bold, stylish move—and will get nods from all the fashionistas at your wedding.

So on that note, don’t shy away from adding other details to your dress—like glitter, beads, or rhinestones. Matchy-matchy looks are outdated. It’s time to have fun with your wedding look!

3. Ball gown with sheer sleeves and back

Sheer materials make any outfit sexy, so we’re so excited that it’s become a fall wedding trend!

We’re seeing many fall wedding dresses with sheer necklines, backs, and sleeves. Higher necklines and puff sleeves are very stylish right now. If you want to capture these trends but still show off some skin, find them in sheer materials!

Mesh, in particular, is a great choice for puff sleeves because it holds its shape well and will create a dramatic look. Plus, it adds just enough coverage for those cooler evenings. Stylish and practical? How can you say no to that?

4. Mermaid gown with detachable mesh layer

As you can see, fall wedding trends are anything but dull! As the weather drops, you no longer have to worry about finding lightweight materials and silhouettes. In fact, you can add more fabric to your look.

So bring on the detachable capes and layers! Brides love the versatility that this fall wedding trend brings. You can add a cape or layer to your dress for the ceremony and then take it off for the reception. Two looks in one!

To ensure this extra fabric doesn’t overpower your look, we recommend choosing a short-sleeve or strapless dress. Pulling your hair up will also keep you (and your beautiful face) front and center!

5. Mermaid gown with high neckline 

As we mentioned, high necklines are a fall wedding trend favorite! They add coverage and warmth while creating a chic and elegant vibe. What’s not to love about that?

Plus, there are so many different necklines to choose from:

A boat neckline is a graceful, wider neckline that typically hits just past the collarbone. It draws the eyes toward your shoulder and gives the illusion of better posture. (That’s a bonus for photos!)

Crew necklines are also a great pick. (Yes, they’re not just for t-shirts!) They’re versatile, simple, and can be dressed up with the right fabric!

Want something a little more unique? Straight necklines are all over the runway this year. It gives off a retro vibe and can help elongate the neck.

Wait—there’s more! If you opt for sheer fabric, you can even rock an illusion sweetheart neckline. The options are endless for this fall wedding trend.

After over two years of will-they-won’t-they weddings, and small, intimate gatherings, we’re finally at a place where we can plan the wedding of our dreams. (Yay!)

A big part of a woman’s wedding day is finding the perfect wedding dress. But coming out of the pandemic, brides-to-be everywhere realize that “the perfect” dress doesn’t have to be conventional. And this year’s wedding trends definitely reflect that.

Gone are the days when you must wear a traditional all-white gown covered in lace. In 2022, wedding dress trends are all about embracing your unique flair. Today, we’re showing you five 2022 wedding trends for every personality and style—so you can find THE wedding dress for YOUR big day!

🤍 Find the Perfect Dress with These Five 2022 Wedding Trends 💐

Which 2022 wedding trend is calling your name? Read on below to find the winning look for you!

1. Florals trend: for a feminine look

This first 2022 wedding trend may not come as a surprise to you. Florals have been a favorite among brides for years—and for good reason! They instantly create a romantic look. (And that’s ideal for weddings, right?)

If you consider yourself a girly-girl who loves to embrace her feminine side, you really can’t go wrong with a floral wedding dress.

To truly capture this 2022 wedding trend, bring out those floral patterns through a 3D fabric, such as applique, or with color. (That’s right—wedding dresses this year can incorporate touches of color!)

Another 2022 wedding trend that pairs nicely with florals is a short hemline. Want the best of both worlds? Find a dress with a detachable layer!

2. High slit trend: for a sexy look

If you’re looking for a sexy look that’ll show off your curves, this 2022 wedding trend is for you—and it can go thigh-high if you want it to!

Once upon a time, wedding dresses were more conservative. Now, brides-to-be are asking their sewists how to add high slits to their skirts!

What we love about this trend is that it works with many necklines. You can pair a high slit with a deep-V neckline to accentuate your hourglass shape. Or, you can balance out the sexiness with a higher neckline. The options are endless here!

Looking for another 2022 wedding trend that dials up the spice? A low or open back!

3. Big sleeves trend: for a bold look

For the past few years, brides have been forced to dial down their dresses to match their low-key weddings. This year, brides want to go big! So unsurprisingly, the third 2022 wedding trend to watch out for is oversized, bold sleeves!

We’re seeing this trend in everyday wear and brides-to-be love it too—whether it’s a short puff sleeve, long bell sleeve, or detachable balloon sleeve.

Another 2022 wedding trend that this pairs well with is the modern ball gown. If you’re someone who’s been waiting for the pandemic to end to host a big, lavish event, a ballgown passes the vibe check! (It’s oh-so perfect for the brides ready to unleash their inner queen.)

4. Straight/square neckline trend: for a stylish look

As you know, the ’90s made a major comeback this year. One trend that has surfaced with it is square or straight necklines. We’ve seen them on bodysuits and summer dresses—and now we’re finding them on wedding gowns!

What we love about this neckline is that it’s universally flattering and looks great on all bust sizes. It also works with practically any wedding dress style. So it’s pretty easy to weave this 2022 wedding trend into your look.

If you’re looking for a dress that’s very unique to this year’s trends, look out for this neckline. You’ll definitely get a nod from your fellow fashionistas.

5. Mock neckline trend: for a regal look

The last 2022 wedding trend you should look out for is the mock neckline—especially if you’re looking for a more classic and modest dress.

This high neckline feels inherently regal and is a timeless way to give any wedding dress silhouette a more conservative feel.

While this neckline is modest, it’s incredibly versatile. You can pair it with a ballgown silhouette to embrace the royal look. Or, a sultrier mermaid cut if you still want to add some spice. Want to bring a vintage vibe? Then bring on the lace!

Looking for more ways to modernize this look? As we mentioned, another 2022 wedding trend is adding color! A dress with some colored embellishments, like light blue beads or pearls, would look lovely here!

You’re entering your first year of high school! What an exciting time. There will be many firsts to experience—including homecoming.

Of course, you know you need to dress to impress. But you’re probably looking for more advice than that, right? Well, you’re in the right place. Read on for tips on how to nail your homecoming look.

🌷 Five Tips for Nailing Your Homecoming Look 🍑

From picking the perfect homecoming dress to choosing accessories, here are five homecoming tips for freshmen.

1. Choose the right silhouette

Our first homecoming tip for freshmen is: Pick the right silhouette for your body type.

By spending a few minutes researching different silhouettes, cuts, and necklines, you’ll be able to narrow down the options and find your perfect homecoming dress a whole lot faster.

Some of the most popular silhouettes for homecoming dresses are:

• – Babydoll
• – A-line
• – Bodycon
• – Fit and flare

Of all these options, the A-line silhouette is a fabulous choice because it’s universally flattering. It accentuates a woman’s natural waistline and flares at the waist, creating an hourglass shape. It’s perfect for any body shape.

2. Find a flattering color

Our second homecoming tip for freshmen is: Pick a flattering color for your dress. This is another step that freshmen often overlook when creating their outfits. But trust us, it’s important!

Take a look at this blog to find out which colors will complement your skin tone the most. You’ll find plenty of options that’ll make your complexion pop!

Of course, no homecoming look is complete without some metallic details. But which should you choose—gold, rose gold, or silver?

Typically, all will work well with any color. But to keep your look cohesive, our advice is to choose one and stick to it! (This styling tip applies to your accessories too.)

3. Wear neutral-colored shoes

Our third homecoming tip for freshmen is: Wear neutral-colored shoes.

At homecoming, you’ll see lots of colorful dresses—and we totally encourage you to wear something bright too. But if you decide to wear a colorful dress, there’s no need to rock a bold shoe. Let your dress be the star of the show.

Instead, choose a neutral color like nude, black, gold, or silver. (Bonus: you’ll likely wear a neutral-colored pair of shoes again! So consider it an investment.) Our personal favorite of the bunch? Nude! They’ll create the illusion of longer legs.

You can also lengthen the legs with a bit of heel. If you’re comfortable, wear heeled sandals. But remember—you’re in for a night of dancing! To add stability, choose a thicker heel.

4. Don’t overdo your jewelry

Our fourth homecoming tip for freshmen is: Don’t overdo your jewelry. A little will go a long way!

Homecoming is an exciting event, so you may be tempted to wear all the bling. But you don’t want to distract everyone’s attention from your dress, hair, makeup, and most importantly, your pretty face!

Some girls will opt to go without any jewelry. A bare neckline can be beautifully bold!

If you want to wear jewelry, our best styling advice is to choose one or two pieces. Necklaces work best with sweetheart or deep-V necklines. Got a pair of shoulder-grazing earrings you want to wear? Pin your hair back or pull it up to show them off!

5. Style your hair according to your neckline and sleeves

Our fifth and last homecoming tip for freshmen is: Style your hair according to your neckline and sleeves.

Choosing a hairstyle for homecoming is quite the decision. But the neckline and sleeves of your dress will help you narrow down the options.

If your dress has a higher neckline, like an illusion or boatneck, you may want to pull your hair up to elongate the neck. We also recommend rocking an updo or half-do if your dress has fancy or big sleeves. You don’t want to bury them with your hair!

If your homecoming dress has a low neckline and thin straps (or is strapless), you can totally wear your hair down—but make sure it’s styled!

While we believe you should wear whatever makes you feel confident and your best, we totally get that narrowing down your options can be tricky. That’s why we’re here to help you figure out how to dress for homecoming.

What Color Homecoming Dress Should I Wear?

If you’re wondering what color hoco dress to get, we’ve got you. We’ll help you find a shade that’ll have you looking flawless on homecoming night.

Dark Skin Tones

Vibrant jewel tones, pastels, and metallics

Homecoming is not a day to blend in with the crowd. So if you’re wondering how to dress for homecoming, our best advice is to find a dress that’ll make you stand out. After all, few occasions allow you to wear something so eye-catching!

For these with darker skin tones, consider choosing bright jewel or pastel tones to make your complexion pop. Jewel tones like ruby red, amethyst, emerald green, and sapphire blue will all complement your skin beautifully. If you’re into softer hues, pastel shades like pale pink, lilac, and mint will also enhance your glow while giving your outfit a delicate touch.

You’ll also look stunning in metallics like champagne, gold, copper, or silver. If you’re a gal ready to embrace your inner queen, these shiny shades are calling your name!

Medium Skin Tones

Jewel tones and metallics

What color homecoming dress should you wear if you have a medium skin tone? Jewel colors are a great choice! Shades of blue and green specifically — such as emerald green and sapphire blue—will complement your complexion.

If you’re drawn to reds and purples, don’t hesitate to try a ruby or amethyst dress. They’ll not only flatter your skin, but also give you that eye-catching, confident look you’re after.

You also can’t go wrong with metallics like champagne, gold, and copper, which add a touch of glam to your homecoming look. Fabrics like satin and velvet are often the best choices for metallics, as they really enhance these colors, giving your dress a luxurious shine.

Even better — why not choose a jewel-tone dress with metallic embellishments or accessories like the one below? It’s the best of both worlds.

Olive Skin Tones

Bright warm colors and greens

Wondering how to dress for homecoming with an olive skin tone? The key is to bring out your natural warmth with bright, bold colors. Opt for vibrant shades like red, coral, or orange, and various shades of green like forest green and sage.

When selecting your homecoming dress, consider both color and fabric. If you go for a bold, warm color like red, fabrics like satin will add a touch of shine and make your dress even more striking. For an emerald green dress, opt for glitter-dusted fabric to make your outfit truly shine.

Light Skin with Warm Undertones

Earthy shades and neutral colors

If you have a warm, light skin tone—common among those with light blond or red hair and rosy cheeks—earthy tones and neutrals will look stunning on you. Colors such as rich browns and soft greens will bring out the warmth in your skin, making you look more radiant. You can also experiment with deeper hues such as rust or terracotta for a bolder look.

Worried your outfit may look a bit muted? Here’s how you can dial up the drama:

• Add some shine with sequins, beads, or glitter, or choose a satin fabric for a lustrous finish.
• Swipe on a bold lipstick or vibrant eyeshadow for a pop of color!
• Accessorize with gold or bronze rings, earrings, and necklaces. These work especially well with earthy hues.

Fair Skin with Cool Undertones

Jewel tones and peachy colors

If you have a cool, fair skin tone, the best colors to complement your complexion are typically peachy shades and jewel tones.

What does that mean in terms of how you dress for homecoming? Peachy colors come in various shades: opt for a soft blush pink for a delicate vibe, or a deeper coral for something bolder. When it comes to jewel tones, sapphire, emerald, and ruby are always a winning choice, bringing out your complexion beautifully.

Not to worry, we’re here to make your decision easier. We’ve narrowed down our favorite homecoming dress ideas for 2022 and we’re sharing them with you today.

💗 Four fresh homecoming dress ideas you’ll love 💗

Ready to see our top homecoming dress ideas? We won’t make you wait any longer. No matter your body type or style, one of these dresses is bound to make you swoon.

1. Tulle A-line dress with a fitted embellished bodice

For the ladies looking for homecoming dress ideas that flatter any body type, you can’t go wrong with an A-line dress.

The A-line silhouette features a fitted bodice and a skirt that flares at the waist, accentuating your natural hourglass shape.

This dress takes the A-line silhouette up a notch. First, because the skirt is made of tulle, you add extra volume to this silhouette—making your waist look even smaller! And the fitted bodice is decorated in dazzling glitter, which will keep everyone’s gaze on your shrinking waistline. (The designer of this dress definitely knew what they were doing!)

While some sleeves and necklines are geared towards certain body types, these will look great on anyone! They add just the right amount of sex appeal, while making sure you feel comfortable and secure.

2. Champagne babydoll dress with a deep-v neckline

Babydoll dresses have been a summer staple this year. They’re comfortable, cute, and flattering. Why not wear one to homecoming too?

The babydoll silhouette is characterized by an empire waist and a skirt ending above the knee. Like the A-line silhouette, it accentuates a small waistline—so it’s super flattering on all body types! And with a shorter skirt, we guarantee that you’ll have legs for days. (♡ Pro tip: pair the dress with nude heels to further elongate your legs.)

As you can see, you can totally elevate this silhouette for a formal event. Between the champagne-colored fabric, applique, and glitter, you’ll be shimmering all evening.

We also have to shout out this homecoming dress’ illusion deep-v neckline—it’s hot, hot, hot! (And the mesh keeps everything in place so you can dance the night away, carefree.) This neckline is loved by women who are petite or have broader shoulders because it draws the gaze vertically rather than horizontally. In other words, this homecoming dress idea is perfect for those who want to lengthen their body.

3. Green sequin bodycon dress with a cowl neck

For the homecoming queens who want to dial up the spice, this homecoming dress idea has your name on it!

Bodycon dresses are known for their figure-hugging fabric and seductive style designed to show off a woman’s curves. So if you got it, flaunt it!

This particular bodycon homecoming dress has a cowl neckline and side slit, so you can walk into homecoming feeling like a confident goddess. (The head-to-toe sequin embellishments—and criss-cross corset—help with that, too!)

As you’ve probably noticed, the bodycon silhouette is another cut that has made a major comeback this year—and we’re not mad about it! This dress also captures another big trend: emerald green. Sexy and trendy? Yes, please!

4. Lace and tulle dress with a sheer waistline

If you’ve already researched homecoming dress ideas, you may have come across two-piece homecoming dresses. Want the best of both worlds? Find an illusion two-piece dress!

This homecoming dress has a sheer waistline, so you get the same effect as a two-piece dress but with more coverage.

If you’re also looking for more coverage around the neckline, you’ll love the elegant feel of this crew neck. Crew necks direct people’s attention away from your chest and towards your face and shoulders. (So throw your hair up in a bun and let your facial features shine!)

Mixing textures and fabrics has been embraced by the fashion world for the past few years, and this homecoming dress idea totally embraces that. The lace bodice, tulle skirt, and sequin embellishments come together to create an eye-catching, unique look. Don’t forget to complete your outfit with some show-stopping heels.

The corset bodice is strapless and structured, designed to showcase your beautiful curves. It’s also embellished with blue and silver rhinestones, which create an eye-catching design. Please tell us you love it as much as we do!

The ruffled skirt doesn’t disappoint either. Because it’s made of tulle, you get so much volume—without the added weight! You’ll look like you’re floating on the dance floor.

We recommend throwing your hair in a tight bun to show off your bare shoulders and collarbone. But don’t go to your quinceañera without any accessories! A tiara and earrings will be the final touches for completing this look.

3. Tiffany blue quinceañera dress

Looking for a whimsical blue quinceañera dress? This tiffany blue option is one of our favorites! You’ll look like you’re walking straight out of a fairytale.

It starts with the floral applique embellishments. Applique is a weaving technique where one fabric is stitched on top of the other, creating a 3D effect. This season is all about mixing fabrics and textures. So while it’s super cute and playful, this dress is also very on-trend.

This dress will also catch the attention of fashionistas for its tiffany blue color. Did you know that this shade was developed for the famous jewelry line, Tiffany & Co? Yes, this dress is luxurious, whimsical, and trendy, all wrapped into one!

4. Royal blue quinceañera dress

If you’re looking for a blue quinceañera that’s as bold as your personality, don’t skip this section! Royal blue is the hue for you.

In addition to its bright color, this dress will also turn heads for its striking silver embroidery. The intricate patterns on the bodice and skirt really pop against the blue fabric. It’s truly a piece of art, isn’t it?

And where there isn’t embroidery, there’s glitter! This dress sparkles from head to toe. Too much? Not for a day like your quinceañera!

For this royal look, don’t hold back on your tiara and jewelry. Wear pieces that are just as bold as your dress.

5. Navy blue quinceañera dress

We can’t forget the darker shades of blue. They’re especially fitting for fall and winter birthdays. (Though, we’re not going to tell you when to wear this dress because it’s absolutely stunning.)

What we love about this navy blue quinceañera dress is that it creates the perfect backdrop for gold embellishments. Nobody will miss the beautiful floral patterns because of it. If you look closely, you’ll also see navy floral applique details. Yes, just when you think it couldn’t get better!

We also have to call attention to the airy mesh layer that drapes off the sleeves. It’s so unique—and adds another touch of glam to this look! How do you complete the look? Add a gold crown and some shoulder-grazing earrings. And if you’re considering a touch of highlighter on your cheekbones, we say go for it!

Is your quinceañera coming up? Are you looking for a gown that’s hot, hot, hot? Then you’re in the right place. Choosing a burgundy quinceañera dress will certainly dial up the heat.

Burgundy, a darker shade of red, is a powerful color that symbolizes confidence, energy, and love. It’s the perfect hue for bold personalities—and if you’re looking for a burgundy quinceañera dress, we have a feeling that’s you!

❤️ Four Must-See Burgundy Quinceañera Dresses ❣️

Ready to turn heads, ladies? We’ve gathered our four favorite burgundy quinceañera dresses to help you find your fiery birthday outfit.

1. Strapless Gown with Gold Embellishments

Like peanut butter and jelly, red and gold pair perfectly. You can’t go wrong with this duo if you’re looking for a luxurious burgundy quinceañera dress.

This dress features elegant patterns made of gold sequins. Against a burgundy backdrop, they really pop! It also has glitter and jewels. All the embellishments work together to add a beautiful texture to the go

It’s also made of mesh, a traditional fabric for quinceañera gowns. Why is mesh the go-to material? It makes the skirts oh-so-voluminous. (As you know, that’s a must for your quinceañera!)

We’re also drooling over the strapless sweetheart neckline. Red is the color of love. What’s more romantic than a neckline shaped like a heart?! We recommend pulling your hair up to elongate your neck and show off your shoulders. You can keep your collarbone bare or rock a necklace. Or, you can never go wrong with some bold shoulder-grazing earrings.

2. Embroidered Gown with Ruffles and Bows

If you’re looking for a burgundy quinceañera dress, we know you’ve got a big, bold personality. You’re looking for a dress that’ll make you stand out, and this dress does just that.

First, let’s talk about its head-to-toe gold embroidery. (You already know how we feel about this combo!) The luxurious gold color contrasts beautifully against the red, making every detail on your dress pop.

The dress also has unique features, like the single ruffle on the skirt and the huge mesh bow on the back.

While most quinceañera ball gowns emphasize your waistline, this ruffle accentuates it further. How? It adds volume right below the waist, creating a bigger hourglass shape. It also breaks up the gold embroidery—so everyone’s eyes will be drawn to your gorgeous curves.

While we often see a corset back, we rarely see a big bow like this one. It’s just the statement you need to complete your bold quinceañera look.

3. Mesh Gown with Intricate Silver Designs

If you’re more of a silver kind of gal, then this burgundy quinceañera dress has your name on it. As you’ll see with this gown, red pairs magically with both metallic colors and allows for beautiful embroidered designs.

This dress showcases gorgeous designs on the bodice and skirt through beads and sequins. It looks like it came straight out of a royal ball. Against the mesh, these embellishments create a 3D effect. Your guests’ jaws will drop when they see it!

It also has off-the-shoulder sleeves and a sweetheart neckline—a go-to for quinceañera dresses for a reason. They show off your feminine side, which is fitting for a birthday milestone celebrating your entrance into womanhood.

Because this is your day to shine, don’t forget your sparkling accessories. Silver earrings, a drop necklace, and a tiara are our top recommendations to complete this look.

4. Satin Gown with Off-the-Shoulder Sleeves

Looking for a burgundy quinceañera dress—straight up? Let’s add the metallic embroidery and go for bedazzled jewels.

This dress is fully guaranteed to turn heads thanks to its timeless glamor. Unlike most quinceañera gowns, this one is made of satin fabric. Its smooth and shiny texture screams old-school Hollywood! It also comes with off-the-shoulder sleeves. As you know, off-the-shoulder sleeves are making a huge comeback this season. It’s a modern take on a vintage look.

While this gown features jewel embroidery, it’s also burgundy in color—but the shimmer doesn’t get lost. In fact, the sparkle totally stands out against the satin fabric.

We recommend embracing this chic vintage look with a pair of drop earings.
