Follow Us Vegas Wedding Dress of the Year
Las Vegas is where love stories come to life, and every gown worn here becomes part of that magic. The 2025 Vegas Wedding Dress of the Year Contest celebrates the dresses that define a moment, a couple, and a city known around the world as the Wedding Capital. We’re looking for a dress that not only reflects timeless style and individuality but also captures the unforgettable spirit of a Las Vegas wedding.
If you believe your wedding look tells that story, it’s time to share it with us.
Official Rules
The submitter may be anyone associated with the wedding who has permission from the newlywed couple to enter the contest on their behalf. The winning dress must be available for display for a minimum of one year after the contest winner is announced. The “dress” must also include the bride’s full ensemble from the wedding day as shown in the picture, including all accessories worn.
The dress must be appropriate and suitable for a “family friendly” audience. All dresses that contain or represent any vulgarity, nudity, profanity, or the like will be rejected and not considered.
The dress must have been worn for a wedding in Clark County, Nevada between January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025.
The submitter should include with their submission three (3) to five (5) photographs showing the dress as worn during the wedding and throughout the Las Vegas wedding experience. They should also include a brief story about the wedding (up to 280 words in length) and a brief statement (up to 280 words in length) as to why the dress is an iconic Vegas wedding dress indicative of the year in which the dress was worn.
