Nothing oozes sophistication and glamour quite like a gold dress. If you think this look is something best left to red carpet events, clearly you haven’t seen the stunning gold wedding dresses by Maggie Sottero Designs! And if you’re a bride looking for a gorgeous colored alternative to a white wedding dress, you’re in for a treat! Today we’re walking you through the beautiful, champagne-kissed gowns from three stunning collections: the elegant and romantic Maggie Sottero line, the chic and edgy Sottero and Midgley collection, and the classic, budget-friendly label, Rebecca Ingram.

Why a gold dress? Why not?! A gold gown is not only unique for a wedding, it adds an element of luxury to any bridal style. While a gilded look is perfect for glitzy, glamorous affairs, less sparkly gowns, especially those adorned with lace, are suitable for vintage and rustic themes. Another plus? Gold is flattering on many skin tones, and pairs beautifully with jewel tones (think plum and burgundy bridesmaids and navy suits for the guys).
Maggie Sottero Designs gilded options include shimmery shades of white, light gold, and champagne, in an incredibly variety of styles, from formal to romantic. And the details? Exquisite! We’re talking intricately beaded bodices, striking laces and statement backs. Let’s take a look at how some real brides rock their gold gowns, shall we? A little friendly warning, though… these pretty examples may leave you speechless and send you running to the nearest store to try on a gold gown of your own!
