Vow Renewal Dress Ideas
A vow renewal is a beautiful way to celebrate your enduring love and commitment to your partner. Whether you're commemorating a significant anniversary, reaffirming your vows after a challenging period, or simply wish to relive the magic of your wedding day, choosing the perfect vow renewal wedding dress is an integral part of this special occasion.
What Do You Wear to a Vow Renewal
Whatever you choose to wear for your vow renewal should depend on your personal preferences, the event’s location, and the formality. For intimate gatherings with just you and your spouse or a handful of your closest loved ones, opt for something understated yet refined like our CINDY or HARPER white dresses.
If your vow renewal celebration is taking place outdoors, in a blooming garden or by a coastal sunset, the LYDIA White Dress with its dreamy sheer white velvet embroidered lace is the perfect beach vow renewal dress to be worn with windswept hair and sun-kissed skin.
Your vow renewal look should be something that celebrates your love story, reflecting the beautiful journey you've shared and the exciting chapters yet to come.
Should a Vow Renewal Dress Be White?
Traditionally, white is reserved for first-time brides, symbolising purity and new beginnings. However, when it comes to vow renewals, there are no strict rules. Many women opt for white or ivory gowns, especially if they didn't wear their dream dress the first time around or if they wish to evoke the nostalgia of their wedding day.
However, a vow renewal also offers a wonderful opportunity to express your evolving style and personality. Consider off-white hues like our NINA Champagne Dress with her show-stopping sequin fabrication and jewelled straps, or the ATHENA White Dress and its chic pearl droplet detailing.
Pastel shades, such as soft blues, pinks, or lavenders, can be incredibly romantic and perfect for sunlit celebrations. Go for our CINDY Pink Dress with its romantic floral appliques and pink hue, which is said to represent love, compassion and nurture, or PALOMA with its embellished sequin fabrication and pastel floral design.
If you’re feeling bold and adventurous, opt for glamorous metallics and rich jewel tones. NADINE MERABI’s vast collection of gold dresses has a piece for every style and occasion. Command attention with KARLIE’s 3D gold sequin embellishments or exude grace and opulence in our HARLEY Red Dress and its soft velvet fabrication.
Contemporary Styling: Alternatives to Vow Renewal Dresses
While a dress is a classic choice, modern vow renewals embrace a wider range of options. For those looking for something a little different, NADINE MERABI offers exquisite alternatives that blend elegance with contemporary flair.
Jumpsuits
A jumpsuit is an incredibly chic and comfortable option for a vow renewal. It offers a sleek silhouette, often with elegant details, such as wide-leg trousers, like the LUCINDA White Jumpsuit and its sequinned fabrication; intricate lace sleeves, like our MARISSA Black Jumpsuit; or a contemporary tuxedo inspired piece, like VANESSA and her structured lapel.
Perfect for a more relaxed or unconventional celebration, a jumpsuit allows for freedom of movement while still exuding undeniable glamour.
Co-Ord Sets
Co-ord sets, or matching separates, are another fashionable choice for a vow renewal. This can include a tailored blazer and trousers or an occasion skirt and party top.
Two-piece sets offer versatility, allowing you to mix and match garments to create a look that perfectly suits your style and the formality of your event. They can be particularly appealing if you want to incorporate different textures or fabrics, or if you envision wearing the pieces again for other special occasions.
Our PIPPA White Top with its structured shoulder pads and asymmetrical floor drape pairs well with the matching CHARLOTTE White Trousers.
How to Style a Vow Renewal Dress
Once you've chosen your dream ensemble, styling it thoughtfully will complete your vow renewal look.
For accessories, less can often be more. Delicate jewellery, such as pearl earrings or a subtle necklace, can add a touch of sparkle without overpowering your outfit.
Choose shoes that are both stylish and comfortable, especially if you anticipate standing or dancing for an extended period. Elegant heels, sophisticated flats, or even embellished sandals can all work beautifully depending on your dress and venue.
