10 Bridal Swimsuits for Your Bachelorette or Honeymoon

Most of us don’t really think about buying a swimsuit until the summertime—unless we’re planning weddings, that is. If you have a warm-weather bachelorette or honeymoon on your calendar, you’re probably looking for a bridal bathing suit or two that will help you stand out as the bride. This typically involves sporting a chic white swimsuit while lounging poolside with your new spouse or posing for pictures with your best friends and soon-to-be-bridal party.

There’s just one problem: The perfect swimsuit can be hard to find. I would know: I’m picky when choosing bathing suits to buy, and I often feel exhausted by the excess of copy-and-paste bikini styles seen across several brands’ collections. Enter in the bridal factor and this task can be downright challenging. Despite this, investing in a fun white swimsuit to wear during this celebratory time is definitely worth it. With all of the fun you’ll have and the pictures you’ll take, it’s only right that you’re the (well-deserved) center of attention in your cute new suit, letting everyone know you’re the bride-to-be (or a brand-new wife!). Luckily, I’ve done some of the heavy lifting for you. Ahead, discover my shopping editor-approved bridal swimsuit picks that you’re sure to love, too.

I love the structural shape of these cups—and you will, too, if you’re looking for a way to level up a traditional bikini. Thankfully, the straps are adjustable, which is perfect for a style with a less traditional fit. Don’t forget the matching bottoms.

Embrace the bride-to-be look at your bachelorette party with this comfy one-piece labeled “Bride”—so everyone at the beach knows you’re celebrating (and knows to treat you to a drink or two!). The backless design adds a fun, sexy touch.

You can wear this Shani Shemer style even after your bride-to-be or newlywed status has expired, and that’s only one of the reasons I’m fond of it. The bandeau top and matching high-waisted bottoms provide a more polished beach look, while the pink bow details keep it playful.

Keep this one-shoulder style in mind if you’re a minimalist who still wants something memorable for your bridal suit. Its unique smocked fabric is stretchy and comfortable, and the singular shoulder strap thankfully won’t dig into your skin.

Brides partial to one-piece swimsuits will favor this option because of its chic, Instagram-worthy details. Between the ruching, drawstring ties, scooped back, and delicate shoulder straps, it’s perfect for anyone wanting to level up their typical one-piece during this celebratory time.

Try this bikini with pearl details on the strings if you don’t want to stray from a classic triangle top. These details fit in perfectly with a tropical locale and will look fabulous with gold accessories. The matching bikini bottoms have those sweet pearl details, too.

The ultimate statement-making brand, Cult Gaia makes swimsuits that help you feel your best while lounging poolside. This option is tastefully sexy; you won’t have to worry about a wardrobe malfunction thanks to the full-coverage bust and adjustable straps.

The pearl-esque beads on the straps, unique scalloped cups, and piqué fabric ensure that no other bride-to-be celebrating their bachelorette beachside will be wearing the same bikini. The matching bottoms are perfect for those who love a cheeky fit—or even work well as a counterpart to another white bikini top you already have in your wardrobe.

Balconette bikini tops are slowly becoming my new favorite style, an opinion solidified by chic options like this ivory one from Belle The Label. The ruching (also present on the matching bottoms) and delicate shoulder and waist straps add a feminine touch. Details like the underwire cups and adjustable straps ensure a better fit for your bust.

Opt for a blue suit to adhere to the “something blue” bridal tradition outside your big day. There are many reasons to love Hunza G’s collections, like the brand’s unbeatable comfortability. Still, how this blue one-piece makes a simple square neck option look stylish is something to consider when shopping for bridal swimwear.
