Wine Dresses and Gowns

Why Are Wine Dresses a Perfect Pick for Special Occasions?

Rich, refined, and endlessly flattering, wine dresses have become a style staple for women who love to make a bold yet elegant statement. From deep burgundy and maroon to cabernet and wine red, these shades are luxurious alternatives to black, offering a touch of sophistication with a little edge.

At Adrianna Papell, we bring this classic color to life in every silhouette, size, and fabric imaginable. Whether you’re looking for a wine gown for a formal gala or a chic burgundy midi dress for your next celebration, you’ll find a style that speaks to your moment.

What Makes Wine Dresses So Timeless and Elegant?

There’s a reason wine color dresses have remained a go-to for decades. This deep, saturated hue blends the richness of red with the depth of purple, creating a universally flattering tone that works across seasons and occasions.

Unlike flashier colors, wine tones exude quiet confidence. They photograph beautifully, feel luxurious without being over-the-top, and offer just enough drama to stand out—whether you're walking down the aisle, attending a gala, or making an impression at a cocktail party.

Plus, wine pairs well with everything from metallics and jewel tones to neutrals, giving you countless styling options.

When Should You Wear a Wine Dress?

Wine dresses are incredibly versatile. Here’s where and when they shine:

Weddings: A burgundy dress for weddings is a top choice for guests, bridesmaids, and even mothers of the bride. It’s formal, photogenic, and seasonless.
Prom & Formal Events: Make an unforgettable entrance with one of our burgundy prom dresses or wine gowns that blend drama and grace.
Cocktail Parties & Evening Wear: A burgundy midi dress or wine red dress is ideal for semi-formal events and evening dinners.
Holiday Gatherings: Wine hues complement festive settings; perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Eve.
Work Functions or Date Nights: A tailored burgundy long dress or burgundy velvet dress adds polish and personality.

Whether you’re dressing up for a wedding or down for dinner, the richness of wine always feels special.

Which Fabrics and Silhouettes Work Best for Wine Dresses?

The beauty of wine-toned dresses lies in how they adapt across fabrics and cuts. At Adrianna Papell, we design with fit and feel in mind, so you not only look incredible but also feel confident and comfortable.

Here are some standout combinations:

Burgundy Velvet Dresses: Luxurious and soft, velvet elevates the richness of wine tones. Perfect for fall and winter occasions.
Chiffon & Tulle: Light and romantic, these fabrics bring movement to burgundy maxi dresses and bridesmaid styles.
Satin & Mikado: Sleek and structured, great for more formal events or minimalist bridal parties.
Lace & Embellishments: For that extra sparkle, our wine gowns with hand-beading or sequin accents offer stunning texture and detail.

In terms of silhouette, choose a fit-and-flare for timeless femininity, a sheath for modern elegance, or A-line and ball gowns for full drama. We also offer burgundy plus-size dresses, expertly crafted to flatter and support your figure.
