10 Stunning Wedding Dresses By Destination

Needing help narrowing down the perfect dress style for your wedding destination? As a bridal stylist, I often find brides overwhelmed by the number of possibilities for their big day. Sexy mermaid? Low back? Beading or lace? From a French Countryside fête to an urban NYC bash – we’ve covered every possibility to give you some serious wedding day inspiration for any region of the world!

Our featured styles are the freshest designs from Val Stefani, with everything from boho laces to romantic dreamy pieces (and feathers!) Their newest Bridal and Simply Val Stefani collections are a striking display that beauty is all in the details. Meticulously hand-sewn beading and applique, luxurious laces, and statement backs adorn every gown. We even get to enjoy some daring colors this season!

Let us take you along for a stunning wedding dress journey by each fabulous destination.

1. Hawaiian Beaches – Meadow

Airy and light, this bride wants to feel laid back while looking extravagant. This ultra soft lace is balanced by bold florals throughout the design. What truly gives us the “beach-y” inspiration is the halter neckline and open back details. The bride who dawns Meadow is ready to enjoy a night with windswept hair, sandy feet, and lush tropical surroundings. There’s no mistaking this gown for just another summer dress.

2. French Countryside – Ellwood

Ellwood is all about the fairytale! We’re imagining this gown alongside the rolling hills of the Loire Valley with abundant vineyards and manicured gardens. A layered tulle and lace skirt drapes gently without overpowering your silhouette. The classic sweetheart shape, lacey bodice with shoulder details, and a stunning open back complete this mega-romantic style. All the garden flowers are ready for their photoshoot!

3. Moroccan Queen – Cadenza

Two words – show-stopping! For the bride having a glamorous, luxurious bash, this dress and cape combination is the most royal ensemble. Cadenza is sexy and sophisticated, with a low V neckline complimented with low back.

We’d recommend pairing this gown with some over-the-top statement-worthy jewels. Let your inner queen radiate as you make your grand entrance.

4. Boho Rustic Farm – Clover

Planning a light-hearted party in a lovely farm setting? Then show off your figure in this fitted lace dress with a bold and funky lace pattern. Lightly beaded straps and sash make this look totally boho chic with just the right amount of sparkle.

The Clover gown begs you to play up your accessories, whether colorful, or with some incredible headpieces. She’s the bride who found her star-crossed lover.

5. Greek Elopement – Savona

The Savona dress is extravagantly summer. For somewhere as glowing and warm with color as greece, you’ll need a gown that stands out among the sites. Not only does this gown have an incredibly detailed neckline, but every inch of this dress is adorned in details. The gown and overskirt combination will turn heads as you dance your way around the city, through cobblestones, scenic cliff sides, or even on a romantic send-off on a ship through the crystalline waters.

6. Tahitian Island Bombshell – Ivy

Island wedding brides, Ivy is ready for your destination! She’s daring and sexy in a fitted shape that isn’t heavy. Delicate soft touches of lace and off-the-shoulder details balance the flirtatious neckline and back cut-out! She’s for the bride with a wild heart and daydreams of romance.

7. Funky California Desert – Juniper

Whether Palm Springs or Joshua Tree, this funky dress demands a cool aesthetic. (Maybe even an inspired affair like the summer solstice or new year’s eve!) The Juniper gown has a minimalist silhouette with captivating lace and pearl beading. Having a halter neckline that crosses boldly into an “x” in the back even shows off your adventures eye for style. The moon and the sun will align on your wedding day in this truly divine gown.

8. Woodland Whimsy – Everest

Whether the wooded mountains of the Appalachian or somewhere lost among the Irish cliffsides, this dress yearns for the lush greenery of the woods. With a bold combination of floral and geometric lace, this bride loves a bit of tradition with a modern twist. If you are feeling the drama this A-line skirt has to offer, then the Everest gown is your perfect fairie-meets-enchanted-forest vibe.

9. South American Fiesta – Marina

Calling all non-traditional brides; this dress is not for the faint of heart or spirit. The black lace Marina dress is adorned from top to bottom in incredible embroidered applique lace. The shape is simple while captivating with the deep plunge neckline. The see-through skirt begs for a sexy evening of dancing so your guests can see YOU as you sway through he night. One thing is for sure, all hearts will be racing!

10. Urban City Bash – Martinique

This dress is made for brides seeking glamour for their wedding day. Not only is the Martinique dress vibrant – it’s so sexy and fun! The feathers give the look of a luxurious fringe, starting at the waist and floating all the way to the floor. Beading, applique, and even a dreamy cape complete this flirty design.

From NYC to Hong Kong, we think this head-turning gown deserves any urban bash from incredible penthouse suites to underground nightlife dancing and music.
