How Do You Style An Off-The-Shoulder Wedding Dress?
That's a good question - and the answer depends entirely on your personal style. If you've chosen a lace off-the-shoulder wedding dress that's a modern twist on traditional like Hailey Bieber, you might want to finish your outfit with a similarly dramatic veil. If, however, you've opted for a minimal design like Sarah Hyland, a simple pair of earrings and naked sandals will suffice. Keep scrolling to get celeb styling inspo...
Traditional with a twist
Hailey Bieber went for a long-sleeved, off-the-shoulder dress designed by Virgil Abloh. Her veil added a touch of the modern fairytale, with the words, 'TILL DEATH DO US PART', embroidered on the hem.
Modern and minimal
If you can't decide between strapless or off-the-shoulder, opt for something in between. Sarah Hyland's Vera Wang wedding dress had beautiful mesh sleeves and a sweetheart neckline detail that meant all she needed to add was a mussed up-do that was elegant and effortless.
Double the straps
Firstly, forget the traditional white dress and go champagne instead! Stacey Solomon's off-the-shoulder wedding dress featured barely-there spaghetti straps, as well as off-the-shoulder sleeves that draped beautifully around the upper arms. As well as a fresh band of flowers in her softly waved hair, she also took the refreshingly practical step of wearing embellished flats instead of sky-scrapper heels.
Draped and subtly dazzling
A satin off-the-shoulder wedding dress is a stunning choice for any bride who wants to feel elegant on her special day. Influencer Yelen kept things simple yet stunning by adding a pared-back veil and a pearl necklace.
Bigger is better
Porsha Williams broke the internet with her flashy wedding looks (she had about five). If you're looking for that same effect, you can go full-on princess with a bedazzled ballgown wedding dress. To top the look off, add a beaded crown and some statement earrings.
How should you wear your hair with an off-the-shoulder wedding dress?
As you can see from the celebrity examples above, there's no right or wrong answer to this question. Hailey Bieber opted for an elegant up-do, with a simple chignon-style bun at the nape of the neck, but loose waves also seem to be popular. If you want to show off the bare skin above your gown's neckline, like your upper arms, ask your hairstylist to experiment with styles that keep your hair off your shoulders. If, on the other hand, you'd like a bit coverage, a half-up-half-down 'do or simply fully down is your safest bet. Anything goes so it really depends what you feel most comfortable wearing for one of the important days of your life. No pressure!
