Weddings are magical and sometimes, couples just strike gold when they finally meet the person that they are supposed to be with for the rest of their life. The air is fragrant, there is music in the air, and birds are singing when true love strikes, and that is something precious about that kind of love that deserves holding close to your heart. If you and your sweetheart are one of the lucky few who got that “forever” kind of love and want to remind yourself and express gratitude about finding your soulmate every once in a while, vow renewals are just the thing for you.
You get to hang out with your best friend by your side as you celebrate your love with your loved ones near and far. There is the thrilling festive vibe of the music, cake, good food, and great company, but there is also that familiar sense of belonging that you feel as you stand by the side of your spouse. It's the colliding of both worlds and it couldn't get better. If you want to go over your vows again, refresh the old ones and some new ones, and don't shy away from hosting a vow renewal. While there are many things about a vow renewal that can get you excited like a to-be-bride again, we think your vow renewal wedding dress should top the list. In the blog below, we go over some of the things to keep in mind while picking your vow renewal wedding dress, and some of the best vow renewal dresses we could find on the internet.
Things To Keep In Mind While Picking A Vow Renewal Wedding Dress!
Your Nostalgic First Wedding Dress: A first wedding dress is an integral part of the wedding; if you kept it in storage and it still fits you perfectly, it is the opportunity to bring it back to life! To make the dress fit your current taste, you can even make changes to it. This original dress will ensure you a ceremony bathed in the first moments you lived together, united.
Simple and Minimal: Less is more when it comes to a small, relaxed vow renewal. The most appropriate ceremony is the symbolic ceremony. In this ceremony, the dress-selection criteria are much more flexible than in a religious ceremony. This is also an opportunity to remove the few restrictions imposed by the wedding dress. You can choose a simple but elegant dress: long or a little shorter, flared or tight-fitted.
The princess dress: The vow renewal is the ideal time to make your dreams come true and treat yourself to the ceremony you've always wanted. Maybe you went with something minimal the first time around, and want to go all out this time. Why not? Get yourself the ultimate gift of a real princess dress for a fairytale-like vow renewal!
A colorful dress: Since a vow renewal is not a wedding in the traditional sense, there is no set color for the dress; you can wear the typical white- or a scarlet, powder blue, or gold dress! Express your uniqueness by choosing the color of your choice!
Vow Renewal Wedding Dresses
Sachin & Babi Connie Jumpsuit: This jumpsuit's effortless elegance is gorgeous! A halter neckline to show off those lovely shoulders is fabulous enough, but when it's paired with that cutout, it's a showstopper. You'll surely be raking in the praises on this one. It's the ideal outfit to wear if you're renewing your vows at a cozy midday ceremony.
Lace V-Neck Sash Gown by Macy’s: The satin belt around the waist adds to the sweetness of this lace dress, which is oh-so-feminine. The fringed lace illusion neckline and v-back give the entire dress a fairytale appearance, and we think it would be ideal for a summer rooftop wedding or a vintage garden ceremony.
Crepe Plunge V-Neck Sleeveless Side Slit Gown by Dillard’s: A crepe gown with a plunging neckline and side slit to reveal a little leg will never go out of style. Perfect for a bride with a bit of sass, if you want to turn heads, this dress will do it for sure. We adore the traditional glam silhouette and the fact that it comes in a show-stopping red.
Beaded Sheath Dress by Nordstrom: A cocktail sheath dress with beads is perfect. We really adore the art-deco-inspired beading, which exudes sweet-yet-contemporary vibes. The cut and design of this dress make it ideal for wearing to renew your vows. A gorgeous, sleeveless sheath dress is a traditional summer pick for all kinds of celebrations.
Bohemian Inspired Lace Maxi Dress by BelleAndKai: Lace Maxi Dress with a bohemian influence, this dress seems so comfortable you could wear it all summer, but it would look stunning with a wildflower arrangement and a barefoot vow renewal ceremony. We love the airy drape of the neckline and sleeves, it definitely makes one want to find a nice meadow and start twirling.
Reinette White Midi Dress by Lulus: Any woman will feel and appear stunning in this dress because of how flattering it is! The plunging neckline, tight waist, and flowy tulip skirt make this dress a really sensual option to wear when renewing your vows, but it's one of those dresses that would be appropriate for any dressy occasion. To provide you with plenty of color alternatives in case you simply want to change up your hues heading down the aisle a second time, it is also available in ivory, emerald, black, and midnight.
Chicago Dress, Reformation: We especially love the thought of wearing this dress at a spring or summer vow renewal in the countryside. The Chicago dress from Reformation is another traditionally bridal white dress but constructed from a lightweight, textured gauze fabric that steers it well clear of seeming too stuffy or formal.
Sequinned Dress, H&M: This H&M dress is silver rather than white or ivory, but there won't be any doubt that you're the bride. It's by far the most budget-friendly vow renewal outfit we've discovered. After all, who wouldn't want to tie the knot again in head-to-toe sequins?
Lillian Rose Ankle Gown, Needle & Thread: The Duchess of Cambridge has also been spotted wearing Needle & Thread stunning embroidered gowns in the past, so you'll be in good company if you do take the plunge. The Lillian is an investment, yes, but one that's worth every cent if you want a vow renewal dress with indisputable wow power.
Table Lace Floral Midi Dress, Ted Baker: Ted Baker's Table is an absolute showstopper; it plays on the tropes of the traditional wedding dress - sheer sleeves, lace details - but presents them in a refreshingly modern way that's ideal for a vow renewal.
Gabie One Shoulder Drape Midi Dress, Ted Baker: The Gabi, a stunning example of just how great simple gowns can look, is also on our wishlist at Ted Baker. The draped fabric gives the dress an elegant Grecian aspect, while the tie at the center gives the item form and effortlessly cinches in your waist.
Amsale Alix Dress: Despite not being a gown, this little shift dress is very classy and lovely. A lovely rear bow that adds joy to the entire ensemble is connected to a folded off-the-shoulder neckline.
Your Hand in Mine White Lace Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress by Lulus: Without a doubt, this vow renewal outfit is one of the best. The elegant silhouette and the delicate lace cap sleeves are both ideal. A draped skirt, like the one on this dress, is lovely, and the waist-cinching is flattering if you prefer a dress with some length.
Pleated Plunge Wrap Wedding Dress in Satin by ASOS: White satin, as you may know, isn't for everyone, but we're going to say this dress is the exception. It's so elegant and sensual. This dress is for you if you don't like fluffy wedding dresses but yet want to be complimented on how stunning you look as you enter the church.
Fame and Partners Tassiah Jumpsuit: For a vow renewal, a white jumpsuit feels contemporary and chic, and it doesn't have to be extremely casual. The fact that this one has a fluttery off-the-shoulder neckline makes it appear upscale is proof of that.
Rosa Dress, Ghost: Ghost is another brand that approaches bridalwear in a fairly modern style, which might be wonderful for your second ceremony. The Rosa dress from Ghost is a lovely, romantic option thanks to its lattice neckline, double-ruffle trim, and bow back.
Madeline Half Moon Smocked Silk Midi Dress, Lisou: Our top selection from the current collection is the Madeline dress; we're enamored by the quirky half-moon print and 70s-inspired details. Lisou's attitude is all about putting the fun back into fashion; if you know you definitely don't want plain old white, it's a fantastic place to start your search.
Juliette Dress, Instance: The Juliette is a vintage-look style with an asymmetrical hem that you can wear for your vow renewal, but also on vacation and to other special occasions, ensuring optimal cost-per-wear. The instance uses 'deadstock' fabric (in this case, Italian silk) to produce its dresses, with the intention of producing slower, more conscious fashion.
Annie Wedding Suit, Whistles: A wedding suit is an effortlessly stylish vow renewal costume that would look great in a city center setting - just add a metallic cami and a stiletto heel and you'll be good to go.
Reille 2-in-1 Dress, All Saints: Put the top on or slide it off for a whole different appearance for the evening, and once the celebration is over, the silky dress will look fantastically layered beneath your big autumnal knits. This is the magic of the Reille: wear it together or separately throughout the day.
Pleated Halterneck Maxi Dress, & Other Stories: The pleats provide texture and organic movement, the halterneck is great if you love to show off your shoulders, and the maxi dress from & Other Stories is a delicate venture into the realm of color for only £120.
Belted One Shoulder Midi Dress, & Other Stories: Speaking of shoulders, this one-shoulder midi dress from & Other Stories, with its ruffled neckline and all-over lace, would be a genuine stunner for a summer vow renewal. The striking belt adds to the dress' quirky, unique character.
Ivory Tailored Crepe Mini Dress, Self Portrait: The lace trim around the hem truly sets the atmosphere for a wedding day. Pair this one with your favorite pair of black heels. The tuxedo dress is a vow renewal standard, and this Self Portrait version is the best out there.
Blazer Dress with Ruffled Hem, Massimo Dutti: Keep your hair and makeup simple for an effortlessly calm, laid-back vibe. Try Massimo Dutti's blazer dress for a more economical take on the style. It has the same lapel look without the buttons and a bit more showy ruffle around the skirt.
V-Neck Dress, £89.95, Massimo Dutti: This fuss-free dress will fit in seamlessly with any color scheme or accessory you already have in mind, but our top tip is a pair of freshwater pearl drop earrings to set off the sheen of its fabric. Our other pick from Massimo Dutti is elegance personified, and frankly crazily underpriced at less than £100.
Tadashi Shoji Dawson Gown: Choose a more daring look with this stunning low-cut gown made of stretch crepe, which has a plunging neckline, a high center slit, and an unusual twist detail.
Show Me Your Mumu Jasmine Halter Midi Dress: This gorgeous satin dress is very elegant and simple, and it comes in a variety of colors. The halter neckline is unexpected and really works.
