When you’re searching for your dream wedding gown, you’ll quickly realize there are a ton of different cuts, styles, and fabrics available at your fingertips. From chic silp dresses to bold boho gowns, there’s no wrong way to dress for your day-of celebration. But for many brides, the tulle wedding dress has long been a sign of luxury, decadence, and happily ever after.
From fairytales to romcoms, tulle dresses are the classic wedding symbol. Not only does the voluminous fabric demand attention, but unlike other threads and textures, it doesn’t really have a place in a standard, everyday wardrobe. That’s why getting the chance to don a tulle gown is extra special—you only get so many opportunities in your lifetime.
Just like saying “I do” is unique and monumental, so too is selecting a tulle wedding dress. And while you may think the material boasts poofy princess ballgowns—which yes, there are plenty of those—you could be surprised to see just how many different tulle styles and silhouettes are out there.
To help you narrow down your choices, we’ve rounded up some of the best-reviewed and most beloved tulle wedding dresses, sourced from the most reputable sellers. Below, peruse 19 of our favorite tulle wedding dresses ranging from casual to Cinderella-worthy.

What to Look for in a Tulle Wedding Dress
Layers and Volume
When it comes to wedding dress fabric, tulle is the epitome of luxury and glamour, but since you likely aren’t wearing the unique fabric often, it does come with a few added considerations to keep in mind. The mesh net fabric adds volume to gowns and oftentimes creates a full, fluffy effect. Since lots of layers are typically used, tulle ballgowns can sometimes be heavy, which is why you should look for a gown with excellent draping, like the Imad Eduso Monet Ball Dress, which flows as you move (we also love its fanned-out neckline).
Embellishments
Adding decorative details and stylistic embellishments like crystals, lace appliqués, sequins, and pearls can have a dramatic effect with a tulle wedding gown that can add texture and dimension and make the dress glimmer with a dazzling effect.
Length and Train
For the most dramatic look, consider opting for a full or floor-length tulle gown with a chapel or cathedral train. We love the Oleg Cassini gown, a floor-length option with capped sleeves. A layered look, like the Grace + Ivory Annette Gown also creates a show-stopping aesthetic, that's elegant and sweeping.
FAQ
What season and venue do tulle dresses work best for?
Tulle dresses are great for brides who really want to make an entrance, and they look right at home in castles, country clubs, and glitzy ballroom venues. Since layers of tulle can easily cause warm weather brides to overheat, though, you’ll want to keep the forecast in mind before selecting this style.
Are tulle dresses uncomfortable?
Tulle can vary from ultra-soft to somewhat scratchy, so trying on your options and/or wearing a slip/shapewear on the big day can help avoid any uncomfortable fabric-induced chafing. Gowns with lots of tulle will typically be heavier and harder to maneuver, so consider how important being nimble on the dancefloor is before selecting a tulle style. For this reason, many brides switch out of their tulle dresses and opt for something sleeker for the reception.
Are tulle dresses expensive?
Since tulle dresses typically require more fabric and hours of craftsmanship, they’re often pricier than simpler options such as sheath wedding dresses. If you have your heart set on a designer tulle gown but can’t seem to find one that fits your budget, buying a consignment bridal gown is a great option that’ll save you money and help you find the tulle wedding dress of your dreams.
How do you care for a tulle wedding dress?
Netted fabric is delicate, so it’s also prone to snagging. You’ll need to be extra mindful of accessories, pronged rings, and movement to avoid rips.
