21 Ballet-Inspired Wedding Dresses You Can Expect to See Trending

21 Ballet-Inspired Wedding Dresses You Can Expect to See Trending

In keeping with the latest trends, check out our favorite balletcore wedding dresses hand-selected from our FYP.

If you haven’t heard, there is a new trend that has emerged in the bridal world: balletcore. We can accredit the sudden rise of ballet-inspired wedding dresses not only to designers, but also to the influence of TikTok. Scroll through your FYP and you will likely see more than one video explaining the meaning of balletcore, while also citing ballerinas as inspiration for wedding dresses this season.

So what does this so-called ‘balletcore’ trend entail? The term refers to soft silhouettes, dramatic tulle designs, and neutral colors. If you break it down, it’s not too far off from a traditional bridal look, and bridal and runway designers are finding plenty of ways to interpret this popular style.

For example, Zimmermann’s Spring ‘22 collection incorporates balletcore into its pieces by looking at the duality between strength and fluidity. This means soft ruffles and neutral colors but with structured elements. On the other hand, Simone Rocha took an edgier approach through deconstructed ballet-inspired silhouettes.

To help you visualize this trend for your upcoming nuptials, we’ve rounded up 21 of our favorite ballet-inspired wedding dresses for every style and budget.

This ballgown from Dana Harel is undoubtedly eye-catching. The deep U-shaped neckline and dramatic slit make this gown stand out from the rest.

What to Look for in a Ballet-Inspired Wedding Dress

While most dresses don’t explicitly fall into this trend, there are plenty of elements to look out for when searching for a ballet-inspired ensemble. Remember, balletcore is all about soft neutral colors and silhouettes with movement. Color-wise, don’t feel like you have to strictly stick to bridal white as beige, nude, ivory, and blush pink are all hues that fit into this aesthetic perfectly. Voluminous tulle skirts with a structured corset bodice are also popular styles that align; and be sure to select gowns with details like bows, ribbons, and intricate beadwork. If you are looking to interpret the trend in a more subtle way, consider a wrap dress or a square or U-shaped neckline.
