Florida is full of incredible wedding venues that tell a story—think restored mansions, centuries-old gardens, and waterfront estates with rich architectural details. 

If you're planning to tie the knot at one of these iconic locations, your gown should reflect the venue’s charm and timeless beauty. And the best part? You don’t have to spend a fortune to get the look.

At Bridal Outlet Jacksonville, our sample wedding dresses include gorgeous designer gowns at a fraction of the price. Here’s some wedding dress inspiration perfect for Florida’s most beloved historic venues.

For the Vintage Bride at The Lightner Museum – St. Augustine

This former 19th-century hotel-turned-museum is full of vintage grandeur—think marble columns, chandeliers, and dramatic staircases. For a venue like this, look for a lace-heavy gown with classic details like illusion sleeves, a high neckline, or covered buttons. Sample dresses with art deco beading or romantic vintage silhouettes (like fit-and-flare or trumpet) shine in a space steeped in history.

For the Garden Lover at The Audubon House – Key West

Surrounded by lush tropical gardens and old-world architecture, this charming venue calls for something soft, romantic, and nature-inspired. A sample dress in lightweight tulle with floral appliqués or vine-like embroidery is a perfect match. Think flowing skirts, flutter sleeves, and delicate lace—dreamy, breathable, and perfect for a garden aisle.

For the Classic Bride at Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club – Jacksonville

Located along the St. Johns River, Epping Forest offers timeless Southern elegance. Picture yourself in a satin ballgown with a clean, structured bodice or a crepe fit-and-flare with minimalist lines and a long train. These sample styles bring just the right amount of formality and sophistication to match the venue’s old-world architecture and manicured grounds.

For the Glam Bride at The Biltmore Hotel – Coral Gables

If you're planning a luxury wedding at a grand estate like The Biltmore, this is your chance to go bold. Sample gowns with statement trains, intricate beading, or off-the-shoulder glamour bring the drama in the best way. Look for luxe fabrics like mikado or embellished tulle that hold up well in formal, high-end settings.
