Western Wedding Wear: Cowboy Boots Make a Statement in Bridal Fashion
As Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album and the rise of the “buckle bunny” trend take the music world by storm, the influence of disco-cowboy-and-glam-western aesthetics is also making its mark in the world of bridal fashion.
According to Pinterest, western influences are predicted to be one of the biggest trends for weddings in 2024, with searches for “cowgirl wedding dress with boots” doubling in March compared to the previous year.
Brides are now embracing the opportunity to infuse their personal style into their wedding wardrobe by pairing cowboy boots with relaxed-silhouetted gowns for a modern twist on the country western look. Maisie-Kate Keane, a bridal stylist based in New York, notes that brides are drawn to the effortless elegance of western fashion.
One bride, Chloe Newsom-Kingsley, opted for a pair of cactus-detailed Ranch Road Boots for her April wedding in San Diego, inspired by her love for the desert scenery near Joshua Tree. She even ended up with two pairs of cowboy boots for her wedding weekend, showcasing the versatility of this trend.
The popularity of cowboy boots in bridal fashion has not gone unnoticed by brands like Tecovas, based in Austin, Texas, which has seen a rise in brides wearing their boots for various wedding celebrations. The company even introduced a white bridal boot with pale blue detailing to cater to this growing trend.
Luxury western brand Miron Crosby has also seen a surge in demand for custom cowboy boots from brides, with personalized details like initials, wedding dates, and even handwritten notes from partners making these boots true heirloom pieces in their wardrobe.
For brides like Emma Brumbaugh, incorporating cowboy boots into their wedding style is a natural choice, reflecting their day-to-day western-inspired fashion. As the trend continues to gain momentum, cowboy boots are proving to be a stylish and comfortable choice for brides looking to make a statement on their special day.
