    Learn More About Wedding Dress Hangers

    Wedding dress hangers are decorative hangers designed to hold your wedding dress before and after the ceremony and in “getting ready” photos. They typically feature customized touches and are often used to showcase your wedding dress in stylized “getting ready” photos. A decorative wedding dress hanger with your name helps keep your dress pristine while also adding to the overall aesthetic of your big day preparations. Pair a beautiful personalized wedding dress hanger with your wedding gown for stunning, sentimental photos you’ll love to look back on year after year.

    When it comes to choosing a hanger for your wedding dress, it’s important to think about how the hanger will accommodate your dress’s design. A strapless dress will need a hanger that has hooks or divots for the hanging loops. A high-neck dress should have your name or message on the highest point of the hanger so it isn’t obscured in pictures. If you have a long-sleeve gown, a wider hanger might help the sleeve drape well, allowing you to flaunt every gorgeous detail.


    It’s also important to note how heavy your dress is. If it has several layers or a full skirt, you’ll want to make sure you get a hanger made of a sturdy material such as wood that won’t buckle or break.

    Shops on Etsy make lots of different decorative hangers for wedding dresses. Here are a few of the most popular types of wedding dress hangers to consider:


    • Wood: Designed with a single piece of wood and a wire loop hanger, wooden wedding hangers come in a variety of finishes, from light oak to dark mahogany. Many wooden wedding dress hangers can also be engraved or embossed with a personalized message or name.
    • Wood and wire: This type of hanger features a wooden frame with a wire that runs from point to point at the widest part. Look for personalized wood and wire wedding hangers with the wire fashioned into your soon-to-be-new last name for a unique, decorative touch.
    • Padded: A wedding dress hanger with a more vintage look, padded hangers are made with thick foam and covered with soft fabric like satin or velvet to provide cushioned support for delicate dresses.

    Whether you’re a bride looking for special keepsake hangers for your mother and future mother-in-law to hang their dresses on or one-of-a-kind bridesmaid gifts for your bridal party, wedding hangers make wonderful gifts.
