The summer days and long and glorious and wedding season is in full swing. That means that the hunt for the best swimwear for brides-to-be and best maids has officially begun. Whether you’re jetting off to your honeymoon or planning an especially cute bachelorette party, finding a swimsuit that complements your wedding aesthetic is as important as the dress you’ll wear on the big day.

To help guide your search, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite swimwear to fit the occasion. Earlier this year we reached out to Anthropologie’s senior swimwear buyer, Ivy Heilman, who boasts over 16 years of experience in the industry, having previously worked with renowned brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Pink, and La Senza. According to Heilman, bridal Swim is a top trend for 2023. 

“With the post-Covid wedding boom showing no signs of slowing down, swimwear is now an essential part of the bridal wardrobe,” Heilman said. “Brands are introducing bridal-ready looks with unique details, and many now offer Bridal Edits as part of their collections.”

Indeed, bridal swim collections are popping up everywhere. Beach Riot, Show Me Your Mumu, Montce and Monday Swimwear all offer adorable bridal collections that are sure to turn heads. So, whether you’re looking for a classic white one-piece or a chic statement bikini, there’s no shortage of options to choose from. We’ve also pulled inspiration from some of the stunning stylings from our SI Swimsuit photo shoots.

With so many stunning bridal swimwear options available, it’s easy to see why brides-to-be and their best maids are making a splash this wedding season. Read on for your new must-haves.
