White is classic. White is traditional. White is also… everyone else. If you’ve been side-eyeing that sage gown or secretly pinning emerald velvet dresses at 2am, consider this your permission slip. Enter THE green wedding dress. Unexpected, unapologetic, and just different enough to make people look twice (in a good way).
Whether you’re leaning into deep emerald drama, soft sage romance, or full woodland-fairy energy, green wedding dresses strike that rare balance between bold and elegant. They photograph beautifully, flatter more skin tones than we give them credit for, and – let’s be honest – feel a lot more interesting than playing it safe.
If you’re considering going green, this is your permission slip to do it intentionally, stylishly, and without looking like you wandered in from a Renaissance fair.
Best Green Wedding Dresses
Whether you’re drawn to the subtlety of a champagne-green ombré, the boldness of hunter green velvet, or something delightfully unexpected in between, we’ve gathered our favorite green wedding dresses to inspire your own.
Appliqued Sequined Lace Halter Gown
The neckline is a deep halter plunge edged in lace, and no, it’s not pretending to be demure. This sequined lace gown from Cocomelody shows up with all the sparkle, floral appliqué drama, and a chapel-length train that’s clearly here for more than just polite photo ops. It’s not just that it glows—it *shimmers*, thanks to the sheer layer of tulle that floats over a cool sage lining like a soft-focus filter you didn’t even have to pay extra for.
Then there’s the back: open, low, and framed by scalloped lace detail like it casually wandered in from a baroque watercolor painting. The A-line silhouette means you’ll float through your ceremony like a minor woodland deity, but still command enough presence to shut down any doubting aunt with a two-second twirl. This isn’t a gown that whispers “non-traditional”—it sashays in sequins and says, “Yes, I’m the bride. No, it’s not white. You’re welcome.”
Elven Handfasting Lace Gown
The open back on this gown plunges deep enough to make even a forest nymph blush — framed by draping lace sleeves and sheer panels that feel more mythical prophecy than bridal wear. There’s a whisper of medieval drama in the silhouette, like you’ve just stepped out of Rivendell and into your own wedding. And while the front keeps things modest (relatively), the rear view is pure elven mischief. Yes, the sleeves billow. Yes, there’s a train. No, you don’t need to be having a ceremony in a moss-covered stone circle to wear it. But it wouldn’t hurt.
This isn’t your classic A-line with a side of sparkle — this is a full fantasy commitment. The kind of dress that signals to your guests: *This is not a cookie-cutter affair.* Whether you’re handfasting under a canopy of pines or just want to channel your inner Arwen on a backyard lawn, this gown delivers. The sage-toned lace and corset-style back aren’t playing dress-up; they’re doing serious enchantment work. Go ahead, bring the drama. You were never here to play it safe anyway.
Embroidered Green Tulle Bridal Gown
That embroidery? All stitched by hand. Which means someone, somewhere, looked at yards of gauzy green tulle and lovingly turned it into something that moves like ivy and looks like myth. It’s the kind of detail that whispers money without having to shout — which is exactly the vibe when you’re walking down the aisle in a forest-toned gown instead of playing it neutral.
The silhouette is soft but structured, like if a woodland fairy actually had a tailor. There’s just enough volume to float (yes, float) through the ceremony, but not so much you’ll need assistance exiting a room. The subtle sheen of the fabric catches the light in that ethereal, maybe-I’m-one-of-the-Fae way, while the embroidery takes care of the romantic storytelling. You get to supply the smirk.
If you’ve ever scrolled past another cookie-cutter white dress and thought, “This isn’t me,” you’re probably right. This gown doesn’t politely nod to tradition — it dips a well-shaped toe into something older, wilder, and way more interesting. And isn’t that the whole point?
Emerald Guipure Corseted Gown
Fully boned with a Victorian corset back and dripping in emerald guipure lace — no, this gown didn’t walk straight out of a fantasy novel, but it’s doing a convincing impression. The structure is the star here: an hourglass-inducing bodice with visible boning that’s not just supportive, it’s architectural. You don’t *wear* this thing, you inhabit it.
Guipure lace is that high-drama, heavy-on-the-detail kind of lace, with bold botanical patterns and zero transparency games. It covers you while still managing to whisper, *I could conquer a kingdom today if I felt like it*. The rich emerald hue leans deep forest rather than fairy-princess mint — it’s regal, not twee. And that corset back? Adjusts for actual bodies, not just dress forms. Practical magic, really.
This dress is a ceremony in and of itself. The kind you build a whole wedding vibe around — darker florals, candlelit hall, maybe a crown if we’re being honest. It’s not trying to be bridal-adjacent. It’s bridal, just on your terms. White wishes it had this level of control.
Forest Green Velvet Corset Tulle Gown
Forest green velvet for the corset, sheer black tulle for the skirt — drama, meet your match. This gown doesn’t whisper “non-traditional bride.” It lights a candelabra and owns the room. The structured bodice gives off forbidden forest enchantress vibes (and yes, it actually *supports* you), while the cascading layers of misty tulle billow like you’ve summoned a wind machine, even if it’s just your cousin opening the venue door too fast.
There’s a bit of opera villain energy here, but in the best way — the kind that deserves a slow clap walking down the aisle. It’s unapologetically gothic, wildly romantic, and built for those who know white was never going to cut it. This isn’t your “pop of color” moment. This is the main event. Perfect for winter weddings, moody mountain forests, or any ceremony where basic chiffon trembles in fear.
Green Embroidered Lace Ruffle Gown
The sage-and-cream embroidery on this gown doesn’t whisper “woodland goddess”—it announces it, then does a dramatic twirl for emphasis. Between the frothy ruffled layers and the carefully stitched petals blooming down the bodice, it’s very clear this dress came here to flirt with tradition…and win.
There’s something wonderfully cheeky about taking a pale green lace confection—dainty, vintage-adjacent—and blowing it up into a full-length statement gown with modern ruffle drama. The silhouette says romantic; the color says “rules were made for other people.” And if you’re after a wedding-day look that makes people forget every ivory column dress they’ve ever seen, you’re staring right at it.
Equal parts fairy-tale and fashion-forward, it works especially well in spring garden weddings, forest clearings, or anywhere moss might grow on purpose. This isn’t just a gown—it’s a main character with great posture and a secret agenda. Good luck upstaging it.
Green Floral Chiffon Ball Gown
Layers of deep green chiffon, oversized floral print, and unapologetic drama—this ball gown is *not* here to play subtle. The full skirt swishes like a fairytale come to life, only this time, the princess picked leaves and blooms over pearls and tiaras. And frankly, good choice.
The structured bodice balances out all that airy movement, giving just enough cinch to hold the fantasy together while you glide (read: march confidently) down the aisle. It’s romantic, sweeping, and absolutely impossible to forget—which feels appropriate, considering the whole lifelong-vow thing happening. This isn’t a “maybe someday again” dress. It’s a main-character moment in deep green and floral print. Wear it like you mean it.
Green Off-Shoulder Tulle Gown
Off-the-shoulder tulle with a full ball skirt—yes, it’s giving dramatic Juliet energy, minus the tragic ending. The neckline’s sweep is soft, romantic, and just structured enough to stay put while you dance, toast, and accidentally weep at your own vows. All that layered green tulle? A shade that walks the fine line between “woodland fairy” and “scene-stealing queen,” which, frankly, is exactly the goal.
This gown doesn’t rely on sequins or over-the-top embellishments to make its point. The point is clear: elegance can have an edge, and green doesn’t mean garden party unless *you* say it does. It’s the kind of dress that suggests you wandered out of an enchanted forest…and took command of a castle on the way. Call it bridal maximalism with better taste.
Green One Shoulder Floral Embroidered Gown
One shoulder, all drama — this sage green gown leans hard into asymmetry with a bold sweeping neckline that somehow feels both classical and rebellious. The floral embroidery? It doesn’t just sit there, it climbs, spirals, and thrives across the bodice like a greenhouse that knows its angles. And that fitted waist cascading into a slightly flared skirt? Pure movement, like you just stepped out of a slow-motion bridal fantasy (but the kind with your playlist, not Pachelbel’s Canon).
It’s the kind of dress that does exactly what it says on the tin — own-the-room energy without trying too hard. Sage keeps it soft, the one-shoulder cut tips it into modern, and the floral detailing makes it wedding without being obvious about it. If you’re walking into your big day with a “yes I’m wearing green, no I don’t need a crown” vibe, this gown has you covered — literally, but not predictably.
Hand Beaded 3D Floral Gown
Hundreds of hand-sewn 3D floral appliqués on a slate green base—less “borrowed from nature,” more “went out and stole the whole garden.” This gown doesn’t whisper romance; it composes sonnets and flings them off balconies. Each bloom is individually beaded, which feels wildly indulgent until you’re standing under twinkle lights and someone audibly gasps. Then it just feels correct.
Beyond the embroidery flex, the silhouette means business: the elbow-length sleeves and elongated A-line offer structure without sacrificing softness. It moves like mist on a lake, but with the quiet authority of a woman who had taste before *Cottagecore* and will still have it after. The slate green shade is refreshingly serious—not sage, not mint, not trying too hard—which makes it that rarest of wedding dress colors: elegant, memorable, and impossible to eye-roll.
If you’re aiming for ethereal but want to keep one foot on the ground, this dress plays the line beautifully. It’s giving “I belong in a Turner painting,” but she also brought snacks and doesn’t mind leading the conga line. A ceremony dress for the modern-day mythical creature with a calendar and a sense of humor.
Hand Beaded Jade Godet Gown
The jade tone isn’t subtle—it’s intentional. Like someone looked at a forest and said, “More glam, less dirt.” Cue: this Hand Beaded Jade Godet Gown. Every inch is covered in delicate beadwork that actually looks like it took time (because it did), and the godet panels in the skirt add that flared-out elegance that makes walking feel like floating. No stiff crinoline. No bridal drama. Just fluid movement and beads that catch light like they’re on payroll.
Yes, it has sleeves—short ones, thank you very much—which makes it both formal and breathable. That combo is weirdly rare in wedding dresses that aren’t pure minimalist silk or medieval cosplay. The beading spirals into soft floral bursts, not a sequin overload, so you get shimmer without sparkle fatigue. This dress says “I own this aisle” without screaming it—and in a color that feels timeless if you pretend emerald got a degree in fine arts. Perfect for a wedding that’s high on mood and low on clichés.
Hand Embroidered Green Tulle Gown
Seven layers of soft green tulle, each hand-cut and stitched with embroidered florals that look like they wandered straight out of a Renaissance garden party. And no, “hand-embroidered” doesn’t mean a few token threads—this dress is one giant love letter to obsessive attention to detail, stitched by actual humans with soft lighting, patience, and probably a really good audiobook.
The silhouette is floaty but deliberate—cinched at the bodice to remind everyone you have a waist, then easing into a full, sweeping skirt that gives just the right amount of drama without tripping over itself. This is the kind of gown you wear if ethereal is your vibe but you’d like to keep one foot in reality (specifically, the kind that dances and then eats cake). Perfect for forest elopements, garden “I dos,” or any ceremony where you plan to make an entrance that’s more nymph than bride.
Icy Sage Beaded Vine Gown
3D beaded vines curling across icy sage tulle — yes, someone actually beaded that by hand, and yes, it’s worth zooming in. This gown doesn’t just flirt with ethereal; it went full deep-forest-fairy with elbow-length sleeves and enough sparkle to light up a candlelit aisle without needing a spotlight. It’s equal parts delicate and dramatic — the kind of dress that doesn’t whisper “bride”; it murmurs “woodland enchantress with impeccable taste.”
There’s a quiet power in going pale green rather than white — like you’re not here to follow the rules, but you will absolutely rewrite them in cursive. The fitted silhouette offers shape without shouting, and the sheer overlay brings that soft-focus glow usually reserved for magazine shoots or hazy memory montages. You won’t just feel special in this gown — you’ll feel like an event. Which is as it should be, considering you *are* the event.
Metallic Floral Jacquard Gown
The jacquard weave catches the light just right, throwing flashes of black, teal, and that elusive “yes-I’m-dramatic-and-I-know-it” shimmer. This isn’t your average floral — it’s metallic, architectural, and absolutely refusing to fade into the background. If your idea of a wedding dress involves looking like a slightly unapproachable painting in a very expensive gallery, you’re on the right track.
Sleeveless and unapologetically structured, this gown has range: regal in photos, comfortable enough to sit through heartfelt toasts, and bold enough to remind everyone that you didn’t come here to play bridal bingo. The sweeping A-line silhouette gives you movement without the meringue effect, which is ideal because tripping over your own dress is not the kind of entrance we’re going for.
In a sea of blush tulle and “romantic boho whimsy,” this one whispers something a bit cooler — think runway at dusk, not meadow at sunup. It’s for the bride who’s not afraid of a little edge with her elegance. Or a lot of teal with her “I do.”
One Shoulder Beaded Floral Gown
Metallic sage florals stitched across a one-shoulder neckline — subtle flex, major effect. This gown doesn’t scream for attention; it lets the embroidery do the whispering (and the sparkle do the talking). The angled strap adds just enough asymmetry to say “yes, I meant to look this good,” while the soft green undertone slyly rebels against a sea of ivory without tipping into full-on fairy cosplay. Unless that’s the goal. No judgment.
What’s smart about this dress is its commitment to drama without the drama. No corset suffocation. No miles of tulle requiring a dedicated wrangler. Just clean lines, precise tailoring, and beaded blooms trailing across the bodice like they grew there on purpose. If you’re going to wear florals to your wedding, they might as well shimmer a little.
Perfect for the bride who wants to twist tradition just enough to make it hers — like serving matcha cake or walking down the aisle to a string quartet cover of Rihanna. Romantic, unexpected, and doesn’t need a filter to stun.
Plus Size Green Embroidered Gown
Floral embroidery crawls up sage green tulle like something out of a fairytale fever dream—and honestly, we’re not mad about it. This plus-size gown doesn’t just show up, it *arrives*, complete with sheer sleeves and a bodice that looks like it was stitched together by woodland sprites with strong opinions on symmetry.
The full skirt gives you movement without the drama of a train (translation: you won’t need a designated wrangler), and the soft A-line fit means you can float across the vineyard/lawn/moss-covered forest floor with equal grace. It’s unapologetically feminine without tipping into cupcake territory—a rare feat in embroidery land.
If you’re going to skip the white dress, go all in on the drama. This one doesn’t just *allow* for a non-traditional moment—it practically dares you to have one. Bonus: it treats curves like a feature, not an afterthought.
Sage Lace Over Cream Gown
Soft sage lace layered over a warm cream lining is one of those design decisions that seems simple—until you see it done this well. The contrast gives just enough visual interest to feel intentional, not fussy. And the result? Quiet drama. Like someone who clears the room by whispering.
This gown leans romantic without tipping into fairytale cosplay. The sheer lace sleeves soften the look (and yes, they photograph like a dream), while the fitted bodice and flowing A-line skirt keep the silhouette grounded in grown-up glamour. It doesn’t shout “non-traditional bride,” but it absolutely doesn’t whisper “I just picked whatever the boutique had in my size” either.
If your vibe is garden witch meets old soul—if you want the green dress without going full emerald ballgown—this one walks the line with enviable ease. It’s ethereal, but not delicate. Understated, but not forgettable. The kind of dress that makes people reconsider what a wedding dress *should* look like. And the kind you’ll still love looking at twenty anniversaries from now.
Sequined Lace Court Train Gown
The sequined lace wraps from neckline to hem like ivy with a sparkle vendetta — and the court train trails behind just long enough to whisper “main character” without requiring a full-time wrangler. This isn’t some throwaway frock for a courthouse elopement (though honestly, power move if you did); it’s full glam, full volume, and fully not here to blend in.
The deep green hue works overtime — regal without tipping into cosplay, romantic without going full Ren Faire. And the sheer tulle overlay? Like the ghost of a more expensive designer label haunting this refreshingly mortal price point. Add in the sweetheart neckline and cinched waist and you’ve got the kind of silhouette that flatters pretty much anyone with a ribcage. You’ll glide. You’ll sparkle. You might scare your conservative aunt. All in a day’s work.
Strapless Eucalyptus Satin Ball Gown
The eucalyptus satin is smooth enough to reflect light like still water—and yes, it’s just as dramatic. This strapless ball gown leans into classic structure (hello, full skirt and basque waist) but then side-steps convention with color that lives halfway between sage and silver. It’s not loud. It’s intentional.
The silhouette walks the line between fairy-tale and modern CEO-of-the-altar. That basque waist? It gives you shape and gravitas without veering into pageant territory. And the strapless neckline keeps your shoulders in play—aka, no strangling halter ties or awkward sleeves to fuss with during your grand, slow-motion turn down the aisle.
This is the dress you wear when you’ve retired the word “bridey” from your vocabulary but still intend to shut it down on the style front. Bonus: the eucalyptus shade plays well with florals, stone backdrops, candlelight, and whatever else you’ve got going on. It’s elegant, it’s unexpected, and crucially—it’s not whispering “I wanted to be different.” It’s saying, coolly, “I simply am.”
Strapless Fit and Flare Maxi Dress
Narrow pleats at the waist define the silhouette without overcomplicating your life (or your ceremony). This strapless fit-and-flare maxi is what happens when someone finally designs a gown that gets out of its own way—structured enough to hold its shape through “I dos”, dinner, and dancing, but light enough that you won’t be plotting your escape by the cake cutting.
The eucalyptus green shade is refreshingly subtle—a soft, grown-up hue that whispers “non-traditional bride,” not “holiday party guest.” And since it’s from Mare Mare (Anthropologie knows a thing or two about wearable statements), you can expect thoughtful tailoring and a cut that says editorial without being editorial-ly expensive. In plain speak: no gown regret when the photos come back. Beautiful, breathable, and just rebellious enough.
