The Allure of a Round Belly: Exploring Maternity Wedding Dresses Abroad!

Holding a Wedding While Pregnant ♡
When it comes to a maternity wedding during pregnancy.
It seems that there isn't much that brides need to be particularly careful about because they are pregnant... However, one thing that might be a bit concerning is the dress.
I think the best option is to consult with a dress coordinator, as a pregnant woman's body (particularly the size of her belly) can change easily, and I'm curious about how fittings and size adjustments work.
First of all, I wonder if there are any dresses that can accommodate a large pregnancy belly?
You might have various questions arising, but in Japan, rental dresses are typically designed with lace-up backs that can fit a variety of body types, so surprisingly, even pregnant women can wear almost any dress! ♡
(Of course, it will vary from person to person, so consulting with a coordinator is the best approach!)
What Kind of Dresses Are Foreign Pregnant Brides Wearing?
Out of curiosity, I researched foreign maternity weddings, and they seem to have a different vibe from the Japanese image.
Originally, I had the impression that brides in America and such wore sleek dresses, but it was a new discovery that it is not mainstream for pregnant brides to wear loose-fitting dresses.
I would like to introduce some stunning foreign maternity bride dresses that I found lovely.*
What Kind of Dresses Do Overseas Maternity Weddings Have?
<1>
A dress made with bold lace patterns and illusion tulle. The round belly is striking.
<2>
A dress that resembles a one-piece. The slit is sexy. This bride is reportedly nine months pregnant.
<3>
This bride is about six months pregnant.
<4>
A dress made with soft fabric. The neckline is wide open, and the big belly showcases maternal aura.
<5>
A long-sleeve straight-line dress entirely made of lace. Even with a big belly during pregnancy, such a dress looks very lovely. It has a bohemian style and is stylish.
<6>
A loosely fit A-line wedding dress. While it doesn’t emphasize the body shape too much, it is clear that she is pregnant.*
<7>
A dress with sleeves and a straight silhouette. Knee-length is refreshing too.
<8>
A tight silhouette mermaid dress ♡
The changes in the body during pregnancy are mystical, and it’s wonderful to choose a wedding dress that fits closely to the body line like this.
<9>
A-line fluffy dress with spaghetti straps.
Regardless of the size of the belly, it can be worn casually.*
<10>
I had the impression that a perfectly fitted dress is something only slender, perfect-bodied people wear, but it looks lovely on pregnant women too.
(After all, having a large belly during pregnancy doesn’t mean being overweight; this person doesn’t seem heavy at all...!)
<11>
Bohemian style ♡
<12>
High waist design to ensure no pressure on the belly.
<13>
Flowy pleats for a goddess-like look ♡
<14>
The sheer lace is unique.
<15>
A daring V-neckline with a mermaid line. Designs that might feel a bit embarrassing if the belly wasn't large can actually be enhanced by a big belly.
(After all, breasts also get bigger during pregnancy...!)
Cherish and Love Every Moment ♡
When considering a lifespan of 80 to 90 years, the total pregnancy duration amounts to at most a few years or even less than a year.
If you are celebrating a wedding during such a special timing, instead of hiding the large belly, it’s lovely to intentionally choose a dress design that showcases it as a symbol of happiness or as it is.
Or, if you're thinking, "I’m pregnant so I should hide my belly... maybe there aren’t any dresses that fit..." that’s not true! ♡
Even with a large belly, pregnant women can choose any design dress they like freely! ♡
That’s what I realized! ♡
When it comes to wedding dresses during pregnancy, if someone thinks they must wear a fluffy empire dress like those in maternity photos, then they should definitely!
I want to tell them that there are so many variations and everyone is different! ♡
