THE ANATOMY OF GWEN STEFANI'S WEDDING DRESS
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton wedding photos courtesy of Jeremy Bustos/ People.com On July 3, 2021, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton got hitched. Weeks later, there's something that everyone's still talking about: Gwen Stefani's wedding dress. (Well, technically wedding dresses, there were two! One for the ceremony, and one for the reception.) Both were custom-made by none other than Vera Wang—a designer known for her unique wedding gowns. And she managed to capture Gwen's bold personality right to a tee. If you're an edgy bride-to-be, you've come to the right place. Gwen Stefani's two wedding outfits are the perfect inspo for your wedding day look. Get your notepad ready, and let's get started!❀ Gwen Stefani’s Wedding Dress for the Ceremony
✨ How can you recreate this look?
- - Sweetheart necklines are all the rage right now. We love this neckline because it's so effective at elongating the neck. It can be paired with sleeves, straps, or without, but if you want to score Gwen Stefani's wedding dress look, we recommend going strapless. (Bonus points: exposed shoulders also help create an hourglass figure.)
- - A fitted bodice—paired with a free-flowing skirt—is a common silhouette for wedding dresses and super flattering on most body shapes because it cinches the waist. Don't hesitate to get it tailored so you can get the perfect fit!
- - Long veils are available (and customizable)—you just need to ask! For Gwen's look, rock a veil with some beautiful embroidery and keep your hair sleek and simple.

✿ Gwen Stefani’s Wedding Dress for the Reception
✨ How can you recreate this look?
- - Corset bodices are a hot bridal trend right now. If you're looking to stray from tradition, keep an eye out for corset bodices. Oftentimes, you can find ones with beautiful embroidery—both sexy and feminine!
- - Bold footwear is another way to stand out from other brides. If you think plain white pumps are boring, we encourage you to go for something that better reflects your style—especially if your dress is a short length. Anything goes—perhaps you go for something bedazzled or a completely different color. Show them off (and your legs)!
- - Add meaningful accessories. Maybe you won't spend extra cash on getting custom hand-sewn embroidery. Still, we encourage you to take a page out of Gwen's book and personalize your wedding look—whether it's a favorite piece of jewelry or a family heirloom.
