Texas Wedding Wear Inspiration 

 

For the Bride

Capes 

Capes are here to make a statement this year. Skip the traditional veil for this fashion-forward trend. Capes are a sleek addition to your wedding dress that adds a dramatic effect. Consider a cape if you are looking for added coverage for a ceremony. They are a go-to for added coverage because as soon as the ceremony is over, you can take it off and show off your dress during the reception. 

They are beautiful and come in a variety of styles. A cape in the same fabric as your dress will pack a stylish punch for a more sculptural look. If you love the trend of transparent material, consider a transparent cape. The sheer fabric is beautiful and delicate while still showing off your wedding dress beneath. 

 

Gloves 

Bridal gloves are making a comeback. They are an easy way to add a sleek and sophisticated accessory to your dress. Available in various lengths and fabrics, you can choose from simple and sophisticated or elaborate and glamorous. 

Slip on gloves to wear down the aisle or add as a fun accessory for the wedding reception. Our favorite part of this trend is you can take them off at any time, allowing you to try them out without committing to the trend for the entire wedding day. 

 

Bows 

Bows have been trending in the wedding world for a few years, but expect to see bows more tailored and delicate this year. Small bows add feminine and chic detail to the dress, like on the lower back or shoulder. 

 

Off The Shoulder 

Who doesn’t love an off-the-shoulder moment? This popular style is romantic and chic, giving off the ultimate fairy tale feel. You can find off-the-shoulder styles on various dress styles and fabrics, from sweetheart to ballgown shapes. This modern style shows off the bride’s shoulders and collarbone.

 

Bridal Suits 

Bridal suits are a new trend that is bound to stay.  They are classy, sleek, and undoubtedly stylish. They can be paired with simplistic accessories and a fun heel for an easy and comfortable way to show off this new fashion fad. 

 

Pearls 

Pearls are timeless and can be added in a variety of ways. They have been a wedding staple for years, and this trend is getting better with time. They don’t just have to be worn around your neck; they can be sewn into your dress or even worn in your hair as an accessory. Pearls offer just the right amount of bling without going overboard.

 

Unexpected Shoes

Brides are getting creative with their shoes in 2023. While colored heels aren’t going anywhere, brides are choosing more comfortable options to walk down the aisle in. From cowboy boots to sneakers, it makes it easy to dance the night away with guests. 

 

Scoop Neckline

The sweetheart neckline has been trendy for years, but brides are switching to scoop necklines this year. It’s flattering on many body shapes and looks different from what we’ve seen over the years. 

 

A Touch of Color

White bridal dresses are traditional and classic. In 2023, more brides will show off their personalities with subtle pops of color. Blush and champagne are go-to’s, but don’t be fooled if you see brides branch out with more colors like blues, lavenders, and shades of green to show off their personality. 

 

Floral Detailing 

Florals are a big part of the wedding day, but in 2023 brides will incorporate florals into their wedding wear. Patterned gowns with floral fabrics will make a statement when walking down the aisle. For a more simplistic look, consider a dress with floral embellishments or adding colored florals to the veil – either way, the beautiful flowers will blend right in with your wedding day blooms. 

 

Sleeves 

Sleeves are making a comeback this year, and brides will show them off in various ways. From sleek lace sleeves to Juliet sleeves, every silhouette will look different. For a sleeve without commitment, consider a matching jacket or adding detachable sleeves to your dress. It lets you try the trend without committing to it all day. 

 

For the Groom

Linen Suits 

Expect grooms to ditch the all-out tux look for a lighter and breezier outfit, like a linen suit. It’s perfect for warmer wedding days, easy to care for, and looks great in neutral colors. This fabric will be a wedding staple in 2023. 

 

Classic But Casual 

We love a classic tux look for the groom, but this year, expect the groom to mix luxe with casual for a fun twist. Grooms will be swapping out their shoes for sneakers for the ultimate dancing shoe. Matching with their groomsmen makes for fun photos and ensures they are comfortable yet classy throughout the day. 

 

Blue Suits

A nice change from the traditional color but just as versatile. Navy blue suits are bound to be everywhere this year; they work with any color palette and season. 

 

For the Bridesmaids

Mismatched Dresses

In 2023, expect to see the bridal party wearing different dresses. From different lengths to shades, mismatched dresses add fun to the bridesmaid attire. It gives each bridesmaid a unique look, making them feel special about being a part of your big day. 

 

Black Dresses 

Black bridesmaid dresses are becoming more and more popular. They are modern, chic, and certainly sophisticated. Look for fitted black dresses with structure; your bridesmaids are bound to wear the dress again and again. 

 

Jumpsuits 

If you are planning a summer wedding, consider jumpsuits for your bridesmaids. Flowy fabrics are light and the perfect outfit for hot summer days. From bright colors to bold prints, jumpsuits can be fun and lively, or opt for a neutral color, like champagne or black, for a more subdued color palette. 

 

For the Groomsmen 

 

Go Gray 

Gray suits are going to be a hit in 2023. Gray shades can stand out independently but can complement different color palettes easily. It’s easy to match the groom with just a few accessories.  

 

Sand Suits 

Sand-colored suits are gaining in popularity for both the groom and groomsmen. This light color is perfect for weddings booked in warmer months and is simple, elegant, and undoubtedly stylish. It’s neutral in tone and can match well with most color palettes.
