Bridal Robes

Bridal robes are matching robes worn by the wedding party while getting ready on the wedding morning — the bride, bridesmaids, maid of honor and often the mother of the bride. They're comfortable for hair and makeup, create coordinated getting-ready photos, and double as a keepsake gift.

They're the same type of robe worn by different people. The bridal (or bride) robe is usually a distinct white or ivory robe, often lace-trim or personalized "Bride," while bridesmaid robes are a matching set in a coordinating shade like blush or champagne. Together they create the classic getting-ready look.

Matching robes are the standard — easy to slip out of without disturbing hair and makeup, comfortable for the long morning, and photogenic. The bride wears a standout robe while the bridesmaids match, often with a slip, bralette or bridal lingerie underneath.

Satin is the most popular because it looks glossy in photos, comes in coordinating colors and is affordable enough to buy for the whole party. Silk is a luxurious upgrade, and lace-trim, floral and velvet options suit different seasons and styles.

Satin is the practical favorite — the same glossy look as silk, easy machine care, and affordable to buy in sets. Silk is the luxury choice with a superior drape and feel, often reserved for the bride or given as a special gift. Compare our satin and silk robe edits.

The bride usually wears white or ivory to stand out, while bridesmaids wear a single coordinating shade — blush, champagne and sage are the most popular. For fall and winter, jewel tones like emerald, burgundy and navy work beautifully. Match the robes to your overall wedding palette.

Yes — personalizing with names, initials, roles ("Bride," "Maid of Honor") or the wedding date is popular and turns the robes into lasting keepsakes. If you're monogramming, order a little earlier to allow time, and wash the finished robes inside-out to protect the embroidery.

Order one for the bride plus one for each bridesmaid, and add the maid of honor and mother of the bride if they're getting ready with you. Robes are commonly bought as a coordinated set so colors match exactly across the party — buying together also keeps the shade consistent.

Yes. Plus-size bridal robes come in extended sizing with a generous wrap and longer sash, so every member of the party matches and looks flattering in photos. The loose, belted cut is forgiving, which makes coordinating a range of sizes easy.

Short, mid-thigh robes are the most popular for getting ready — flattering, easy to move in and great in photos. Longer robes offer more coverage and a dramatic look, and the mother of the bride often chooses a slightly longer length.

They're one of the most popular bridesmaid gifts — practical for the wedding morning and re-worn long after for lounging and travel. Personalizing each one makes the gesture feel personal and gives every bridesmaid a keepsake from the day.

A coordinating robe that complements the bridesmaids without matching exactly — often a neutral or slightly deeper tone and a longer length. It keeps her part of the getting-ready photos while gently distinguishing her role.

Order once you've confirmed your bridal party and collected everyone's sizes — a few weeks ahead is comfortable, and a little earlier if you're personalizing them, to allow for monogramming and any size exchanges before the day.

Many brides wear bridal lingerie, a slip or a chemise underneath — comfortable for getting ready and pretty in photos as the robe opens. Explore coordinating pieces in our bridal lingerie edit.
