Ever since posting my silver and gold inspiration board, my inbox has been flooded by brides looking for sparkling metallic dresses for their own wedding! Never fear – I’m here to help! Not only is today’s round up full of fabulous options for the bride and bridesmaids in shimmering metallics and sparkling sequins, but I can help you track down every single one of them. So get cozy, enjoy the glitter, and find the right style for your wedding!
Whether you’re looking for the perfect gown to personify your bridal style, or on the hunt for sparkling gowns for your bridesmaids, there’s someone for everyone to love in this round up. Since collections come and go so quickly, I tried to stick to gowns that are still currently in stores and can be found at most major retailers, or in your local bridal salon. If you fall in love with a gown from seasons past – you may still be in luck! Nearly Newlywed and OnceWed specialize in verified used wedding dresses from name brand designers and Rent The Runway is an amazing resource for outfitting a couture bridal party without asking your best ladies to break the bank!
Modern Glam
There’s nothing like sequins to say modern glamour! Fabulous matte metallics and chic structured dresses are the perfect picks for a bridal party with modern day style. Sheath dresses dripping in sequins or deconstructed lace gowns will add some serious romance to a simple silhouette. Keep hair sleek, jewelry oversized, and blooms simple to complement the full on sparkle!

Bohemian Shimmer
This summer’s biggest trend has been bridesmaids in coordinating but individual gowns, blouson, draped, and shimmering. The go-to designer for the ultimate bohemian glam bridal style has to be Adrianna Papell! Her signature column gowns feature sparkling embellishments and layers of filmy chiffon. Hand-tied bouquets with lush blooms and verdant greenery and loose, wavy hair perfectly complement this ultra romantic style.

Vintage Sparkle
The Gatsby trend is winding down, but bridal parties are still going full-force vintage glam. Column gowns in glittering patterns and vintage cocktail dresses beautifully evoke the Jazz Age, along with romantic curls, and delicate jewelry. Matte red lips will pair gorgeously with the gold or silver sparkle!

Keep flowers and accessories simple to let the dress take center stage!
