Several factors go into choosing the perfect wedding dress – your personal style, your venue and, of course, the season you’re getting married in! Each season evokes different feelings. When you think autumn, pumpkins, spiced cider and bonfires come to mind. And you dress differently in each season, too! In October, you know you’re reaching for that cozy cardigan. Dressing for your wedding is not so different – be inspired by the seasons!
Our stylists at Blush Bridal Boutique in Cincinnati’s Reading Bridal District can help pull seasonal inspiration, and find you the ideal gown that fits your individual tastes and wedding location, too. Dressing seasonally is also a point of practicality. You want to make sure you are comfortable regardless of the weather on your wedding date, and your dress can help ensure you’re feeling fine!

Spring is traditionally one of the most popular seasons to get married in. Flowers are emerging, temps are rising and, let’s face it, everyone is in a much better mood after winter is over. We’ve got some ideas about tying the beauty of spring to your wedding dress!
A clean, streamlined frock like Baila from Blush Bridal Boutique’s XOXO line would look stunning at a May wedding at Marmalade Lily. The ivory gown’s simplicity is offset by a pop of floral along the scoopneck. Baila is an easy and breezy A-line – perfect for a spring fête! Add a peony bouquet and you’re set.
Blush bride Meg also favored a clean, timeless gown for her spring nuptials. She paired her fitted strapless beauty from Cincinnati’s Blush Bridal Boutique with a delicate scarf for a sophisticated look. Her dainty pearls, sleek bun and baby’s breath bouquets add even more elegance to her classic meets modern vibe.
Blush Bride Lora also married in the springtime. Her clean fitted wedding dress flowed gorgeously with her long veil (also available at Blush Bridal Boutique in Cincinnati). Dangling earrings and a sweet necklace finished her spring bridal attire.
As children, summertime meant freedom. And as adults, we can still feel that! Long warm nights mean more time for fun. We recommend echoing that feeling with your bridal attire in those summer months.
However…summer weddings also mean accounting for the weather and staying cool. A wedding dress with a slit is basically a built-in ventilation system. And it makes walking on the beach or grass that much simpler! This stunner by Sophia Tolli at Blush Bridal Boutique in Cincinnati would shine like the sun at your summer wedding. The sexy slit and plunge are cool in both senses of the word, while the floral on the fitted bodice summons summer vibes. The intricate train is just a bonus!
Our lovely Blush Bride Trinity was the ultimate summer girl with her colorful floral-patterned frock. This amazing flowy number looked right at home on the lake! The bride’s gorgeous long hair was the ultimate accessory for her summertime style.
Courtney, our beautiful Blush Bride on the left, also selected floral accents for her summer wedding at Mojave East. Her A-line was completed by flutter sleeves, boho appliques and, best of all, a tiara! She fits right in among the colorful blooms. When choosing a dress for summer, keep in mind that certain fabrics, like the tulle of Courtney’s gown, are more lightweight and breathable.
Fall rivals spring for the most popular season to get married for a reason! Not only are the autumnal leaves beautiful, but the weather is usually easier to handle than neighboring summer or winter. Several styles and silhouettes work well in the fall, giving brides even more options. (The stylists at Blush Bridal Boutique in Cincinnati’s bridal district can help you narrow them down!)
We love the idea of a detachable sleeve for an autumn wedding. It gives you the best of both worlds – pop sleeves on for a more formal ceremony look, and off for a sexier reception vibe. (And back on again, if you get cold as the night goes on!) This Justin Alexander wedding gown’s ethereal sleeves come on and off, and add a special something to this chic dress. Even without the incredible sleeves, this gown is unique – just look at that exquisite back!
Blush Bride Steffani selected a classic crepe gown for her fall wedding. The simplicity of the gown stands out among the fall backdrop. Her pampas-grass bouquet and loose waves add a boho touch to her fall bridal look. (Her groom obviously couldn’t keep his eyes off her!)
Blush Bride Mariah also took her fall bridal look in a boho direction but made it entirely her own. The sweet off-the-shoulder sleeves and gentle floral appliques go so well with her cathedral veil. (If you’re torn on wearing a cathedral veil, remember, they add so much oomph to your wedding pics!)
Winter weddings can be so swoonworthy – the snow is falling outside, and you’re inside among the twinkling lights, surrounded by burgundy blooms and evergreenery. Obviously, you need a bridal look worthy of a winter wonderland.
We at Blush Bridal Boutique in Cincinnati recommend a gown that will sparkle along with you. Lacy Bianca from our XOXO line has sleeves to keep you snug, as well as pizazz to impress your guests. The gentle plunge and defined waist cut a sublime silhouette, too!
Winter weddings give brides a great opportunity to accessorize. Blush Bride Perrin added a faux fur jacket to her clean gown. Not only did it keep her warm, it added major glam factor! (As did the Veronica Lake waves and all-white bouquet!) Blush Bridal Boutique carries faux fur shrugs if you need to add a little something to your winter wedding.
Details like lace, beading and sparkle go with winter weddings like marshmallows go with hot cocoa. They just work! Blush Bride Samantha’s spectacular strapless mermaid gown featured layers upon layers of beauty. Her cathedral gown added even more visual interest! Glittering jewelry is another welcome addition to a cold-weather bridal look. Blush Bridal Boutique in Cincinnati’s Bridal District stocks plenty of bracelets, earrings and more all year long.
Regardless of the time of year you get married in, the team at Cincinnati’s Blush Bridal Boutique is here to present you with an array of options. Whether you need a dress for your July lakehouse wedding or your February art museum nuptials, we’ve got the ideal gown for you at our boutique in the Reading Bridal District. No matter the weather, you’ll leave with a gown worthy of you and your love story. Make your appointment here at Blush Bridal Boutique!
