If you’re getting married while pregnant, there are some amazing long dresses to choose from. See our pick of ten of the best for beautiful brides with a bump.

 

Long Lace Maternity Gown

£225 Séraphine

Seraphine long lace

 

If you’re after a fairy tale look for your wedding, this could be the dress for you. It has a little vintage glamour with its floral lace that drapes softly over your curves and your bump and a flattering A-line cut and Empire-line bodice. The crossover v-neckline allows you to showcase your cleavage and the dress plunges to a deeper V at the back. The sash is an optional extra and you can tie it in a sweet bow to emphasise the waist line.

 

Kalita Aphrodite Cloud Beach Dress

£445 £311 Nine In The Mirror

A truly elegant beach dress with a deep V at both front and back, this can be your dress of choice for a beach wedding. It’s beautifully low-key but still glamorous and also low-maintenance, as it is made from a naturally crinkled fabric. Team it with simple sandals or a heeled espadrille – or bare feet for a Malibu bride vibe!

 

Willow Gown Long

Tiffany Rose £199 £99

Tiffany Rose Willow Gown

 

This offers a gorgeously heavy fabric that drapes beautifully across your bump and it is made from gently jersey fabric that falls from the Empire line waist to the floor. The sleeves are three-quarter length – great for more formal weddings and if you aren’t too keen on showing your upper arms. The neckline is a gently V that falls from the shoulders and it comes with optional sashes.

 

Classic ballgown

£250 Two Birds

Twobirds bridesmaid dress

This clever gown can be worn in several ways, thanks to its long straps. This means you can find a way of wearing it that fits your bump perfectly and allows you to expose as much – or as little – skin as you’re comfortable with. It comes in white or ivory (and also a lace fabric) for a traditional bridal look – or try one of the many pastel or rich colours. You can also get bridesmaids dresses from them, so you’ll have a perfectly co-ordinated wedding day.

 

Mist Grey Embellished Grecian Maternity Gown

£255 Séraphine

Seraphine mist grey grecian Maternity Gownw

 

Buck the trend away from white or ivory with this mist grey dress in a romantic Grecian style. There is hand beading on the shoulders and it is made from chiffon, giving you a flowing silhouette as you walk down the aisle. It has an Empire line fit with concealed elastic for comfort. The bodice and wide shoulder straps mean you can wear quite supportive maternity lingerie without it showing.

 

Nine by Savannah Miller – Ivory ‘Tilly’ wedding dress

£320 £160 Debenhams

Nine by Savannah Miller Ivory Tilly wedding dress

 

If you’re still in the early stages of pregnancy, you can probably buy a dress that has not been specially made for pregnancy, such as this long Flapper-style dress with its nod to 1920s fashion and its gently draping tiered skirts. It has hand-beaded embellishments and delicate camisole straps.

 

Ulla Johnson Margaux Chiffon Maxi Dress

£835 £417 Nine In The Mirror

If you prefer a pastel to white or ivory, this floaty pinky-peachy dress is ideal. In a transparent silk and cotton-blend chiffon, it features delicately woven floral accentsand has a bump-skimming tiered skirt. The Bishop sleeve balances the volume of the skirt and the deep v-neck balances the dress’s full coverage. Pair it with silver or gold sandals and a posy of summer flowers.

Charlotte Lace Gown

£225 Tiffany Rose

Tiffany Rose Charlotte Lace Gown Oyster Cream

 

In Oyster Cream lace, this dress is quite stunning. The lace is super soft and lined with floaty jersey and the colour will complement any skin tone. The boat neckline is flattering and the skirt falls straight to the floor from the Empire-line bodice. Three-quarter length sleeves with flatter the arms and reveal the scalloped edges of the lace.

£550 Net A Porter

Inspired by the legendary Brigitte Bardot, this gown flows from the shoulder, allowing it to skin rather than swathe your bump. With scalloped guipure lace across the shoulders it has points of interest and the shorter front hem is not only on-trend but ideal for showing off a great pair of shoes. Turn your back on your guests and they will see the glorious sweep of the train.

Lace? Check. Tulle? Check. Embellishments? Check. If full-on fairytale is the look you’re after, this exquisite gown ticks all the boxes. Made from layers of light as a feather tulle, it is appliquéd with rows of scalloped lace. The little Pride and Prejudice-style bodice with ruches and puffed sleeves will sit above your bump and the full skirt will float over it. It stays full-looking thanks to a mesh under-skirt.
