Lookout for Brands with a Genderless Approach

While it might still be quite a challenge to find brands that feature clothing lines with a genderless feel, we definitely see the tendency among designers to explore new horizons, experimenting with silhouettes and fits. Fashion brands like Palomo Spain, Tanner Fletcher, Dion Lee and Wiederhoeft are in the lead, blurring lines between masculine and feminine, celebrating the beauty of individual expression. Corsets, dresses, skirts, veils and jumpsuits are for everyone, no matter gender, age or body shape.

Go Custom

If you can't find what you're looking for from any of the designers, or have a particular vision in mind, we suggest opting for a custom-made piece. Going custom gives you the perfect chance to create an outfit that truly reflects your style and personality, while also being made to fit you to a tee. So don’t be afraid to break the mold! Incorporate elements from both traditional bridal and groom attire, such as lace detailing or florals on a suit jacket or a tuxedo-inspired dress.

Mix & Match

Have fun with your wedding fashion! Think skirts over pants, a veil for the groom, a long cape paired with a formal suit, or a striking floral applique blazer with more masculine bottoms. We are all for breaking the gender rules in fashion and making a statement!

Accessorize, Accessorize!

Jewelry and accessories are unisex! Pair your fit with a complementing bag, matching earrings, bracelets or a necklace. Open your heart to different styles and materials to make sure your wedding ensemble is a beautiful representation of you and your story.

Stay True to Yourself

What matters most is wearing something that brings you comfort, confidence and makes you feel YOU. So, don't feel pressured to conform to traditional gender norms if they don't feel right for you. Trust your inner voice and pick outfits that truly resonate with your vision. It's about celebrating who you are and feeling your best on your special day!
