Every wedding season brings a new trend or DIY hack, but some traditions are timeless. Among the ever-evolving romantic rituals, wedding dresses remain steadfast because there’s no limit to personal style. No matter what form your wedding takes — classic elegance, romantic beach-side vibes, or rustic charm — there’s a gown for you. 

The brides in these 12 series and movies on Netflix have a variety of love stories and no shortage of style. If you’re searching for inspiration for your own special day’s pièce de résistance (or just wanting to admire some truly stunning dresses), check out the looks below.

Bridgerton

Dearest gentle reader, is there anything more elegant than a Bridgerton wedding? Sophie (Yerin Ha) and Benedict (Luke Thompson) joined the series’ long history of swoon-worthy nuptials in Season 4, with Sophie donning a gown befitting of the former Lady in Silver. The series, based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels, centers on the marriage mart of Regency-era England and the eligible aristocratic singletons who attempt to sparkle during the highly competitive social season. Sophie and Benedict were just the latest to follow in a long line of wedded couples, including Daphne and Simon, Kate and Anthony, Penelope and Colin, Francesca and John, and young Queen Charlotte and young George.

Outlander

Claire Randall (Caitríona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) share an epic, history-defying love story — and their beginning was equally complicated. When Claire, a former combat nurse from the 1940s, is whisked back in time to 18th century Scotland, she’s forced to marry the Highland warrior Jamie in order to escape a villainous British officer’s clutches. Their last-minute wedding ceremony had Claire donning a gown that was borrowed from the madam of a local brothel, but she wears it with confidence despite the guests’ jeers. The most important part? Jamie can’t keep his eyes off her. This romantic historical drama series, developed by Ronald D. Moore (For All Mankind), is based on Diana Gabaldon’s beloved novels and also stars Graham McTavish (The Witcher), Gary Lewis (The Vanishing), Lotte Verbeek (Nuremberg), Duncan Lacroix (Outlaw King), and Laura Donnelly (Beowulf).

The Out-Laws

It’s understandable to crave simplicity in your wedding dress when your parents are criminals. That’s the case for Parker (Nina Dobrev), a yoga instructor whose wedding week goes sideways when her straightlaced fiancé, Owen (Adam Devine), begins to suspect that the robbers who recently hit the bank where he works are his estranged future in-laws, Billy (Pierce Brosnan) and Lilly (Ellen Barkin).

Owen, Billy, and Lilly are forced to work together to steal the money in order to get Parker back in this romantic action comedy directed by Tyler Spindel (Kinda Pregnant). Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Richard Kind (The Watcher) co-star.

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen

Nothing goes as expected for Rachel (Camila Morrone) on her wedding day — or during the entire week leading up to her wedding. So it’s appropriate that her dress is the result of yet another kerfuffle (no spoilers) involving her fiancé Nicky’s (Adam DiMarco) increasingly unsettling family. But as the chaotic week unfolds, Rachel is confronted by a feeling of utter wrongness. Is this paranoia just the stereotypical pre-wedding jitters, or does something darker lie in wait? Creator Haley Z. Boston’s horror series about a young couple grappling with the ins and outs of saying, “I do,” also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh (Atypical), Ted Levine (American Gangster), and Jeff Wilbusch (Unorthodox).

Virgin River

When Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) first arrived in Virgin River, she never expected to fall in love with the charming bar owner, Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson). But six seasons later, the two finally tied the knot while surrounded by their close friends and family — after exchanging their vows in a private, romantic spot by the river. Mel’s floral gown left Jack appropriately breathless, but it wasn’t always that simple. While they were instantly drawn to each other, Mel, a nurse practitioner who moved to the eponymous small town for a change of pace, was still working through the heartbreak of losing her husband, and Jack was battling his own demons. But look how far they’ve come. This romantic drama series, created by Sue Tenney (Good Witch), also stars Tim Matheson (Fletch), Annette O’Toole (Smallville), and Colin Lawrence (Riverdale).

Wedding Season

When Asha’s (Pallavi Sharda) overbearing parents (Veena Sood and Rizwan Manji) set up a dating profile on her behalf, she strikes a deal with them: If she goes on one date and attends the spring-to-summer wedding circuit, will they let her live her life and focus on her career? They agree, and Asha’s date with Ravi (Suraj Sharma) goes just as badly as she expected. But when they accidentally meet up again at a wedding, they agree to be each other’s go-to plus-ones to ward off their friends and families’ matchmaking attempts. This wedding-filled rom-com features plenty of gorgeous dresses and sarees, but the blush pink bridal number, worn by Asha’s sister, Priya (Ari Afsar), is especially stunning. Sean Kleier (Sam), Manoj Sood (Christmas with the Singhs), and Sonia Dhillon Tully (A Perfect Match) also star.
