A wedding dress with one shoulder is the perfect balance between contemporary and timeless, meaning it will never go out of style. It also gives a similar look to a strapless wedding dress, but offers more support so you'll feel comfortable and relaxed all day.

Our Favourite One Shoulder Wedding Dresses
1. One-Shoulder Bodycon Dress - £78, Chi Chi London
This Chi Chi London number is a steal at less than £80 and because it is an understated style you can wear it again after the wedding - we love the idea of rocking it as part of a honeymoon outfit. The ruched wrap-over skirt is a super flattering design that will suit all body types.
Sizing: 6-16
Pros & Cons: The split on this dress adds a sexy touch to the look but if it is a little too high for your liking, it can easily be pinned with a few simple stitches.
2. Amelia Crepe Maxi Dress - £95, Pretty Lavish
We love the simplicity of this design from Pretty Lavish. You can keep the finish understated or amp it up with accessories - it'll look great whatever you go for! This dress could also work as a white bridesmaid dress.
Sizing: 6-18
Pros & Cons: The spaghetti one shoulder strap is adjustable which allows you to get the most comfortable fit. It's a full-length gown which adds to its sophistication but if you are a petite bride you might want to get it taken up or wear with a pair of heels.
3. Bronx and Banco Stella Bridal Gown - £1,022, Revolve
A one shoulder wedding dress is the perfect silhouette for a statement sleeve and this dress from Revolve certainly ticks that box. The padded shoulder features layers of material for a really eye-catching moment.
Sizing: XS-XL
Pros & Cons: The asymmetrical hemline balances out this wedding dress beautifully. It is fully lined so you shouldn't have to worry about it being see-through but skin coloured wedding underwear is advised.
4. Sau Lee Hailey Gown - £493, Revolve
Another gorgeous find on Revolve is the Hailey Gown. It is crafted from silky soft satin that will shimmer and shine under lights, and look amazing when you move. The thin spaghetti one shoulder straps are chic and the crystal embellished accents feel really special.
Sizing: US0-12
Pros & Cons: Satin is a fabric that easily creases so we recommend allowing this style to hang as long as possible before putting it on. A backless bra will be needed for this wedding dress if you don't want it to be seen.
5. Rosa 3D Floral Detail Wedding Dress - £899, Rowley Hesselballe
Rowley Hesselballe is a bridal designer to have on your radar if you are sticking to a budget of below £1,000. The Rosa dress has a gorgeous 3D floral shoulder detail which elevates the otherwise traditional and clean look.
Sizing: XS-XL
Pros & Cons: As this is a popular designer for couples planning a wedding on a budget, get your hands on this bargain buy before it sells out!

6. Amelia Sequin Dress - £108, Pretty Lavish
Combing a chic one shoulder design with a sparkly wedding dress, the Amelia dress from Pretty Lavish is a fun option. It is covered in dazzling white sequins and while the silhouette itself is simple, it'll still make a statement.
Sizing: 6-16
Pros & Cons: If you are after glitz and glam, this is the wedding dress for you. Want something a little more traditional for the ceremony? This one shoulder wedding dress would make a great wedding reception dress if you were looking to switch things up.
7. Bernarda Iconic Dress - from £1,960, Pronovias
Both daring and simple, the Bernarda dress from Pronovias has lots of lovely details that come together to make this stunning design. The draped skirt leads down to a graceful train and the bow accent shoulder falls elegantly to the floor.
Sizing: Custom
Pros & Cons: The back of this one shoulder wedding dress features a row of dainty buttons which gives a vintage appeal. You can customise it to close the leg split if you prefer a more covered look.
8. Varda Iconic Dress - from £2,140, Pronovias
The illusion bodice on this Pronovias gown features embroidered lace leaves that will follow the shape of your curves in the most flattering way. We also adore the tulle full-skirt that gives this wedding dress a fairy-tale finish.
Sizing: Custom
Pros & Cons: It is one of the more expensive designs in our edit but it is such a special style that is bound to make you feel fabulous and ensure all eyes will be on you.
9. Style 220311 - £POA, Jenifer Wren
A one sleeve wedding dress that falls elegantly off you shoulder will look effortless and pretty. The sleeve on this Jenifer Wren design is made from tulle giving it an ethereal and soft look. This wedding dress also has an outstanding train that will follow behind as you walk down the aisle.
Sizing: Custom
Pros & Cons: The one shoulder silhouette is done in a unique way that you won't often find which gives this look a personalised touch. That's not to say it isn't a traditional wedding dress - the floral appliques and A-line silhouette ensure it stays timeless.
10. Jacqueline Satin One Shoulder Wedding Dress - £1,489, Galia Lahav
Designer Galia Lahav creates romantic wedding dresses that cool couples will love. The Jacqueline dress features dramatic draping that will accentuate curves and highlight your waist. It is a glamorous style that has a sultry touch to it.
Sizing: 32-46
Pros & Cons: We adore how this dress has been styled with a wedding updo - it really allows the dress to do the talking and will let your guests see the spectacular neckline.
11. Elsbeth - £POA, Josephine Scott
London based designer brand Josephine Scott creates gowns that are made to make you feel like royalty. Pairing old-world glamour with contemporary style, the Elsbeth wedding dress features layers of beautiful tulle and a dramatic one shoulder ruffle.
Sizing: 4-18
Pros & Cons: This wedding dress has an internal corset that will ensure structure and form yet it has a stretch lining which still allows for movement and a comfortable fit.
To really let your one shoulder wedding dress shine, make sure you think carefully about your wedding hairstyle!
