These are the best dress brands for millennial brides
The bridal industry is flourishing with millennial brides at the helm. And while shifting behaviors in the wedding industry are rearranging what couples are choosing to spend their money on, millennials still spend, on average, $10,000 more than Gen Xers on their big days. Millennial couples are prioritizing decor, photography, and personalized mementos over traditional wedding costs, making the ‘gram factor a deciding component of budget talks.
With that being said, no Pinterest wedding board would be complete without a scattering of wedding dresses complimenting its neighboring floral and table decor pins. Wedding dresses rank, on average, 11th on a couple’s wedding expenses. In 2019, Stylight saw a 352% increase in clicks on wedding dresses globally, with the average price of a wedding dress sitting just under $900.
When choosing a wedding dress, millennial brides are prioritizing sustainable, affordable and re-wearable gowns. According to internal Stylight data, these are the top bridal brands for millennials…
Although Millennials are less likely to tie the knot than older generations, the average age to get married is still between 25 and 30, according to the US census.
Reformation
For stylish and sustainable brides, LA-based Reformation saw a 105% increase in clicks on Stylight last year. While the brand’s ready-to-wear pieces are widely loved by celebrities and street style stars alike, Reformation’s romantic bridal-like dresses are being adopted as a millennial wedding favorite. The brand’s champagne Verbena dress is the top-clicked under $1000 wedding dress on Stylight.
