TAYLOR SWIFT ERAS-INSPIRED WEDDING DRESSES
taylor swift’s eras have given us no shortage of iconic style moments. every era has captured a chapter of her story and a distinct aesthetic. we are constantly inspired by the early years of sweet country romance, folklore’s dreamy nostalgic vibe, and the glitz and glamour of midnights. all of this has us thinking: if each era was a wedding dress, what would it be?
taylor swift era
taylor’s debut era is rooted in romantic storytelling and country charm. a wedding dress with just a touch of lace paired with a dramatic tiered a-line skirt feels like the perfect fit for this rustic t-swift era.
‘aimery’ by rue de seine fits that early taylor swift spirit so well. the shape is soft and romantic, and the boho touches feel effortless. this gown is exactly the gown we picture in the countryside or a laid-back outdoor ceremony. it’s the kind of effortless romance that defined taylor’s very first era.
fearless era
fearless is all about that fairytale glow where youth runs on pure optimism, and you fall straight into the moment without hesitation. to fit this vibe, a wedding dress has to feel spellbound with a golden glow surrounding it.
‘neem’ by alena leena has airy details and nails that storybook mood. it has the softness and playfulness we would expect from the fearless era, yet still feels modern and fashion-forward. this dress is for the bride who’s always believed in a little magic!
speak now era
speak now is an incredibly feminine era with bold fashion moments that still carry a youthful feel. it feels like the point when taylor walked into her own narrative and owned it. it is still romantic at its core, but the delivery is louder.
‘matilda’ by tara latour featuring hand-cut flowers and textured tulle is made for your statement moment. named after matilda joslyn gage, a trailblazer who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, this gown carries the same bold spirit. it’s romantic but not in a predictable way.
red era
red is the contrast to all the eras that came before it. this chapter is the moment taylor stepped away from her country roots and leaned into a louder pop direction. it is a statement-making era.
‘emma’ by alyssa kristin brings that statement to life with its mermaid silhouette, open back, and sculptural bow. it reads timeless but still hits hard.
1989 era
we love this era for it’s costal feeling and carefree energy. it may not be a two-piece matching set directly from this era, but ‘adeline’ by mwl is that airy, effortless wedding dress we want to twirl around in. the hand-appliqued lace paired with a silk linen fabric makes it breezy and fashion-forward.
reputation era
this era is defined by drama and unapologetic moments. it is about owning who you are. as the original bridal disruptor we’ve always believed bridal fashion can be unique and unexpected. we love a wedding look that doesn’t take anything too seriously.
‘origin’ from by watters is a bridal mini dress that tosses the rulebook out the window. it’s striking, playful, and cool without trying. sometimes you need more than one dress in your wedding wardrobe, and we have a feeling taylor would absolutely approve of a second look.
lover era
if any era really belongs at a&be, it’s lover. it’s bright, happy, romantic, and never apologizes for being authentic. love is the whole damn point after all! at a&be bridal shop, wedding dress shopping is a celebration of you and your love.
‘althea’ by the label, our own exclusive collection of wedding dresses, feels like a natural fit for the lover era. love truly helped bring this gown and the label to life. althea puts a spotlight on the feeling that sits at the heart of every wedding day.
folklore era
folklore takes us away from the rainbows and sparkles and transports us into a cottagecore dream with vintage touches. this era makes us imagine a wedding celebration surrounded by wildflowers and winding paths.
‘lou chiffon’ by rish bridal nails that hazy, sentimental feeling beautifully. every detail is intentional, but the whole gown feels soft and charming. it’s pure enchanted forest wedding vibes.
evermore era
if folklore is the kind of era where you wander around inside a storybook, the evermore era sets us back to something more grounded. the mood shifts to a calm and polished type of romance.
‘rhea’ by aesling is the sweet spot of the blending aesthetics of folklore and evermore. the silhouette is architectural, but the softer touches bring the romance back in. aesling is one of our newest designers to join our curated collection, and their gowns are available at select a&bé locations.
midnights era
Midnights suits the bride who wants their wedding style to shine once the sun goes down. for that midnight mood, our choice is ‘olivet’ by madi lane. this dress picks up light at every turn with illusion mesh and stunning 3D beaded chantilly lace. it belongs at a candlelit reception and is made for late-night dancing.
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT
this era leans into a moody and gothic-inspired aesthetic. the tortured poets era is vulnerable, introspective, and dramatic.
‘sarah’ by truvelle makes perfect sense in this setting. it feels like that moodier aesthetic with its jacquard satin fabric with a subtle rose print and basque waist. it’s the perfect choice for a bride drawn to the edgy side of taylor’s aesthetic.
THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL
a showgirl’s life is full of jewels, glamour, and theatrical energy. a dress that fits this era best would have to exude old-hollywood drama and show-stopping energy. that dress for us would have to be lilliane by bretagne studio.
‘lilliane’ by bretagne is made for the spotlight! we believe that a bretagne wedding gown isn’t just something you wear; it’s something you experience.
