Take it easy in one these casual wedding dresses

If your day-to-day style is generally relaxed and informal there’s no need to suddenly become stiff and starchy on your wedding day. We have tons of beautiful casual wedding dresses that tick all the boxes when it comes to wow-factor bridal style, but also feel effortless and easy to wear. 

For unrestricted comfort and elegance on the big day, look for fabrics like lightweight tulle or soft, curve-skimming crepe. Supportive straps will keep your bodice positioned perfectly, while a lace-up back will let you adjust the fit to suit your needs.

Our instore bridal experts can give you tons of great advice on how to look and feel amazing in your dress. So we’ve also asked them to pick a few of their favourite casual dresses for weddings, below. Here's a few they love…

A relaxed A-line

An A-line skirt is definitely the easiest bridal silhouette to wear. It flatters the waist but then flares out into a large comfortable skirt, with plenty of movement. Lovely Celena is a great example and combines swathes of tulle with a semi-sheer bodice covered in detailed floral lace. 

The modest V-neckline and wide straps mean you’ll feel totally comfortable all day, without any concerns about your bodice sitting right. There are also discreet illusion panels at the neckline and sides, so there’s plenty of coverage. Practical Celena doesn’t skimp on prettiness though, and the semi-sheer finish and embroidered floral lace are absolutely gorgeous.

The soft tulle skirt features more beautiful lace and means you can decide how much volume you want. Add one, or even two, underskirts for more oomph or keep it simple and go underskirt free. The clean-cut train is also beautifully elegant but won’t get in you way when you’re striking moves on the dance floor! 

Cool and comfortable crepe

Soft crepe is another great choice for casual wedding dresses. It’s lightweight and hugs curves without clinging, so it creates a great shape without feeling restrictive. Lovely Otis is a V-neck crepe gown with a sculpted silhouette and elegant low back. Perfect for brides who want a relaxed modern look!

The gorgeous, matt-finish florals, scattered with delicate clear sequins, are ideal for brides who want to keep their blooms sophisticated and understated. The detailed lace also helps to soften the sleek lines of the crepe skirt and the attractively scooped back.

The skirt is super comfortable and easy to wear, while still looking crisp and striking. It ends in a neat train that will look beautifully bridal for the ceremony but will be easy to move in for the rest of the day.

The dreamiest tulle

Soft tulle does all the hard work here. Ayla’s pretty detachable tulle straps flatter the arms, while the delightful skirt is floaty and fabulous! There’s also romantic floral lace and beaded spaghetti straps to complete the look.

The lightweight, off-the-shoulder sleeves and the delicate floral embroidery make this design a great choice for an informal outdoor wedding or a ceremony on the beach. The cascading lace almost seems to ‘grow’ down the gown, giving it a beautiful natural look.

Then we have the charming tulle skirt, that's ideal for wafting round a magical woodland venue. It has movement and prettiness but won’t restrict you in any way, which is why it makes our casual bridal dress round up.

A dress for all seasons

August really is one of our favourite informal designs. This stunning A-line combines a classic shape with intricate Chantilly lace and gives you a wealth of options on how you want to wear it to suit your style. It’s also a great choice if you’re looking for casual winter wedding dresses. Just add a faux fur bolero and you’ll look like a snow queen!

The sweetheart bodice is oh-so comfortable, with its wide illusion lace straps and lace-up back. The lacing allows you to adjust the dress to suit your figure, finding the perfect balance between support and comfort. All this, while looking absolutely fabulous in striking lace and glittering iridescent beading.

The skirt is equally simple to wear. It’s a classic A-line shape that flatter the lower half of the body before flaring out into a stylish but manageable train. For more volume simply add one of our comfortable underskirts! 

A twist on tradition

Finally we have Emerson, a magical combination of comfortable and absolutely breathtaking. Combining a traditional look with a contemporary dipped back and modern illusion lace, it really is the perfect casual wedding dress.

The bodice has wide supportive straps but the delicate illusion lace makes them feel much smaller. There’s also a low, but not too low, V neckline at the front, while the highlight is the attractive low scooped back. It’s also decorated with the prettiest floral sequin lace that flows effortlessly onto the lightweight skirt. 

The skirt is just a delight for boho brides who want a casual wedding dress. It’s light and beautifully decorated but you won’t have to give it a second thought as you’re twirling, dancing and having fun on the big day. For us that’s the epitome of the casual bridal dress - one that’s effortlessly amazing all day long!
