12 Non-Traditional Wedding Designers That Actually Get Queer Fashion
Too many bridal shops are still stuck in the binary—and queer folks are left out of the equation. If your idea of a dream wedding outfit doesn’t include a giant dress or gendered suit, the search can feel impossible.
As a queer wedding fashion stylist, I’m here to change that. I’ve worked with countless LGBTQ+ clients who want to feel powerful, affirmed, and seen in what they wear—and the problem isn’t them. It’s the lack of access to designers doing it differently.
So I made a short list.
Here are 12 non-traditional wedding designers or brands who get it, in different price brackets, so you can find options that reflect your identity and your budget:
High-End ($5,000+)
These designers are known for custom, couture-level wedding fashion. Perfect for folks who want something completely one-of-a-kind.
Mid-Range ($2,000–$5,000)
Think elevated Ready To Wear—expressive and high quality without the couture price tag.
More Accessible ($2,000 and under)
Small brands doing big things. These labels offer non-traditional pieces with edge, personality, and price points that feel more doable.
Why This List Exists
Let’s be real: there’s no standard pipeline for finding queer-affirming wedding fashion. It’s DIY, emotionally loaded, and often expensive. But it doesn’t have to be.
These designers are changing the game—but they rely on us to keep doing it.
So if any of these brands resonate with you, first, follow them, second, share their work, and third, support them monetarily if you can.
Visibility is currency. Let’s give them the love they deserve.
