Delta - Anne Barge

The Delta wedding dress and bow by Anne Barge has easily been one of my favorites! The Delta bow is traditional with a twist. The bow attaches at the backline of the gown and has long, elegant ruffles and drapes for additional movement and drama. I love the relaxed shape of this bow and the Kalika fabric allows the bow and dress to move with ease and grace. The airiness of this bow will allow you to wear it all night, and even at your reception, too!

Basilica - Ines Di Santo

The Basilica Bow Cape is truly iconic! This extravagant bow doubles as a bridal cape for an unforgettable accessory. Our brides who would like more of a modern style tend to opt for capes instead of a traditional veil, and we always love the final look! This cape sits off-the-shoulders and has a dramatic, long train to add a stunning “Wow Factor” to the back of the dress. The bow and cape consist of Organza fabric, giving the bow a perfect shape and color while remaining sheer and lightweight. If you’re looking for a bow to add extra drama, this is definitely the bow for you.

Miriam - Ines Di Santo

Fresh off of the 2025 runway, the Miriam wedding dress is elegant and timeless. The detachable Miriam Bow modernizes the bridal look by featuring an asymmetrical shape and structure to the bow. You can keep the look cohesive or take your modern approach to the next level by pairing your clean Miriam gown with the floral jacquard bow or vice versa. Either way, you absolutely cannot go wrong with these classic pieces.

Dias - Ines Di Santo

The Dias dress is a quintessential wedding dress to the Ines Di Santo wedding dress label. Ines Di Santo is best known for her use of lace, fashionable details, and body-hugging dresses. Ines Di Santo celebrates a woman’s figure in each of her dresses, especially with her fitted dresses. The Dias dress is perfect for a Florida bride getting married in Orlando. The Dias wedding dress is an all lace dress with a detachable off the shoulder lace bow. The bow is a fashionable and creative way to take your classic lace wedding dress to the next level. We picture this dress at wedding venues Bella Collina or Casa Feliz. The lace and romantic details of this dress remind of us of these venues. Bella Collina is known for its taste of Italy feel while Casa Feliz offers an old Spanish Florida feel. These venues are perfect for a lace wedding dress.

Heart - Ines Di Santo

Heart by Ines Di Santo is a scoop column gown featuring a plunging neckline and low back. Heart was one of our favorite gowns and an easy highlight from Ines Di Santo’s Spring 2022 collection. Brides love the flattering features of this gown and of course, the iconic bow available to purchase with the gown.

Loredana - Ines Di Santo

Loredana by Ines Di Santo is from her latest Fall collection. The illusion neck paired with the sweetheart neckline is incredible romantic and flattering. The cap sleeve provides the perfect element of romance in a lace gown. Could this gown be more perfect? Actually, yes. Yes it can. Pair Loredana perfectly with her detachable lace bow and you have the perfect, timeless wedding dress.

Cisco - Anne Barge

Not only do I love the femininity of a bow on a sexy satin dress, but the placement of this bow is perfection! The Cisco dress by Anne Barge is a draped, satin wedding dress with an oversized bow on the hip of the dress. The dress is fitted, so the bow does not take away any shape of the dress and still allows for elegance and personal style in your wedding dress.

To our Art Deco brides, this one’s for you! The Atrium dress by Ines Di Santo is truly a one-of-a-kind wedding gown. Not only is this wedding dress in an unconventional pale pink color, it is delicately hand-painted with stunning floral detailing featuring pastels such as lilacs, blushes, and creams. This gown is fitted at the waist and flared at the skirt for an hourglass figure and the grand bow is detachable for a transitional look. The hand-painted floral detailing on the bow is a moment in itself! The Atrium wedding dress is also available with or without the painted details and also available in the color Off White, although the pastels are a true show stopper!

Dream Weaver - Anne Barge

We love the Dream Weaver gown and bow because it’s rare that we see a beaded dress and bow combo! The Dream Weaver wedding dress is a beautiful beaded gown with a delicate floral jacquard pattern. The full skirt makes the gown whimsical and the matching beaded bow seamlessly ties in the look. The soft feminine touches of this gown are what we love most about this dress and the bow is the perfect extra accessory.

Fabiana - Ines Di Santo

Also from Ines Di Santo’s latest fall collection, Fabiana. Fabiana is a beautiful off the shoulder, draped sheath gown that features an asymmetrical slit in the front of the gown. While this gown offers plenty of modern components that every cool bride is search for, her bow amplifies her chicness. Having her detachable bow act as a train for the ceremony.

The Peony is a classic wedding dress by Sareh Nouri. Sareh Nouri is best known for her classic wedding dresses with bows.

Like the Margot wedding dress by Ines Di Santo, the detachable bow offers brides a versatile bridal style that will change from ceremony to reception. The Peony wedding dress and bow can be worn with or without a veil. If a bride has always envisioned herself with a veil on her wedding day, she can definitely still wear a veil with this wedding dress and bow. However, the bow can be seen as a replacement piece for the veil.
