Of COURSE Amazon Sells Wedding Dresses—And Some Of Them Are Actually Gorgeous

It should come as no surprise that Amazon, the online retailer that sells literally everything, has many wedding gowns and dresses tucked away within its digital portal. Some brides-to-be may shun the idea, but there are plenty of fans of the idea, too. Case in point: A friend who bought her wedding gown on Amazon told me, “I didn’t want my dress to stress me out, so I got it on Amazon — I think it was around $100, shipped in two days, and at the end of the night I jumped in a pool with it on.” Another married friend who bought their wedding look on Amazon shared a similar sentiment: “I wanted to have a chill backyard wedding, so Amazon made sense. All I needed was a simple and cheap outfit that I could dance and sweat in. I even spilled wine on myself and it was fine.”

Ahead, we pulled a few of our favorite white dresses, reviewed by the Amazon customers who donned these frocks for their own weddings, bridal showers, and other fancy events. Whether you’re looking for a chic white dress on the affordable end or simply need an easy wardrobe change for the reception, consider one of these wedding outfits to help you tie the knot.

Mermaid Wedding Dress on Amazon


If you want the best of both the fitted and flared worlds, this mermaid wedding dress is your best bet. Amazon reviewer AJ wrote, "This dress could not have been more perfect for our elopement nuptials. It is sassy, classy, sweet, and sexy at the same time. And the details on this thing are so intricate and beautiful!" AJ also mentioned that the dress has good stretch and you could even size down if you want a more curve-hugging fit.

Lace Slip Wedding Dress on Amazon


This breezy slip dress comes from ASTR The Label and is ideal for a backyard or beach wedding. Amazon reviewer KCS wrote, "I have this dress in other colors I've purchased directly from the designer and Nordstrom. All are well made. Perfect for so many occasions — family photos, bridal shower, baby shower, wedding, etc." A few reviewers have mentioned that this dress style runs small, so it may be worth ordering one or two sizes up.

Boho Style Wedding Dress on Amazon


With frilly short sleeves, a flowy A-line skirt, and a V-neckline, this bohemian-inspired lace white dress is especially fitting for a summer wedding. (It's also a best seller in maternity dresses, for its bump-friendly silhouette.) "The material isn't too thick [...] it's a little sheer [so] I wore nude undergarments and a sticky bra and didn't have any issue," wrote Amazon reviewer anon. "[This] dress is beautiful, I used it as my wedding dress, and I would recommend!"

"I absolutely loved this dress [and] I am so glad I bought it," wrote this anonymous Amazon reviewer. "It is great quality, I love to see people's surprise when I say I found it on Amazon. It was perfect for our laid-back beach wedding." The dress also comes in petite and plus sizes, and the backside features a charming cutout with a corset-style detailing.

Drape Crepe Wedding Dress on Amazon


LA-based brand Halston offers many sleek evening and cocktail dresses, and this white off-shoulder midi can be re-worn for multiple occasions. "This is just perfection. Shoulder open, draped beautifully and a thigh-high slit gives enough sex appeal without looking like you are trying to sex-it-up," wrote Amazon reviewer Amazonwoman. "I am 5'7ish, 138 [pounds], and the 4 is perfect. A little snug in the hips for me but I have an ample booty and thighs which I work at, so those slimmer may not have that. I love it. I think it will be a long time staple in my closet."

Off-Shoulder Ruffle Wedding Dress on Amazon

With an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars, culled from 2,615 ratings, this $50 maxi dress is a hit with its ruffle detail and thigh-high slit. "I bought this dress for my small wedding ceremony and I am absolutely IN LOVE with this dress," wrote Amazon reviewer Tinisha. "I initially wanted to buy a medium, but just in case, I decided on a large and it was the best decision. For reference I am 160 and 5’4”. It’s pretty long, but I like that and I expected it to be. I will be ordering more colors!"

Handkerchief Wedding Dress on Amazon

The flowy, handkerchief overlay on this white shift makes this an especially stylish, easy-to-wear, and unexpected wedding dress option. "I am plus size and this dress is very flattering. I love it," wrote Amazon reviewer chicmama. "It is great and looks very, very fancy. Perfect for weddings, special occasions, and for black tie events."

Grecian Wedding Dress on Amazon


If you're looking for versatility, this toga-inspired, drapey gown has two long shoulder straps that can be styled in multiple ways. (This customer photo shows the gown as a one-shoulder, but it can also be styled with two shoulders or even strapless.) The fabric is extremely stretchy and many reviewers recommend sizing down for that reason. "Very satisfied!! I am 5’7, 130 pounds, and I ordered a small!" wrote Amazon reviewer Emily A. "It fits perfect and has so much stretch to it. The straps are fun to mess around with and find new ways to wear the dress!"

Pleated Swing Wedding Dress on Amazon


This pleated slip dress is another laid-back wedding dress option that's perfect for a summer ceremony. "So many ways to wear this beautiful dress! It’s so versatile, you get more than you pay for. It comes with a detached belt of the same fabric so you can make it fitted on the waist, but I love the dress without it," wrote Amazon reviewer lacey, of this high-neck style. "So elegant. The fabric can be dressed up for evening with a glam heel and the right jewelry or dressed casually for daytime with a leather belt and denim jacket. You can really do anything with it!"

Three-Quarter Lace Sleeve Midi Wedding Dress on Amazon


Especially great for petites, this midi-length dress is an unfussy and easygoing option. "I love this dress! I wore it to my bridal shower and got tons of compliments! I love the feminine neckline and it is modest!" wrote the enthused Amazon reviewer megan neighbors. "The dress goes past my knees so I thought about getting it hemmed but I decided to go with the longer, more classy look!"
