2025-2026 BRIDAL TRENDS

For 2025 and into 2026, bridal trends are all about romance and versatility, with key focus on basque waistlines, corsetry, and unique textures. Expect to see more intricate lace, floral appliqués, and bold patterns, as well as detachable overskirts and capes. Minimalism also continues to be popular, with elevated details like asymmetric necklines and pockets. 

Here are some of our favorites.


BASQUE WAISTS

The basque waist is coming back in a big way for 2025-2026 and is arguably one of the season’s most popular trends. Creating the most beautiful hourglass fit on the body, this silhouette is known for its fitted bodice that dips into a V or U shape at the waist. This element of design is inspired by 18th-century fashion, giving it a feel of elegance and timelessness, and is a fantastic choice for brides who want a regal, vintage-inspired look!

WHY BRIDES LOVE IT:

  • Accentuates the waistline for a flattering silhouette.

  • Adds a touch of historical romance.

  • Works beautifully with ballgowns and A-line skirts.


BROCADE

Brocade fabrics are gaining popularity for their rich texture and intricate patterns. They can take the simplest of gowns and add such a subtle but gorgeous flair that makes the gown feel even more unique. The raised patterns on the fabric create visual interest, adding a regal touch and bringing an added twist when paired with a modern silhouette. Brocade gowns exude sophistication and are perfect for brides who want a classic and luxurious aesthetic.

WHY BRIDES LOVE IT:

Offers a unique alternative to traditional fabrics.

Adds depth and dimension to the gown.


PEARLS

Pearls are no longer just for jewelry; they’re making their way onto wedding dresses as stunning embellishments. From pearl-encrusted bodices to scattered pearl details, this trend adds a touch of subtle glamour. Brides who love understated luxury will appreciate how pearls add depth and elegance without feeling overly flashy.

WHY BRIDES LOVE IT:

Timeless and elegant.

Perfect for adding texture and sparkle without overpowering the gown.


SLITS

Bridal gowns with slits are perfect for the bride who wants to make a bold, fashion-forward statement. It’s your choice whether it’s a thigh-high slit or a more modest one, but this trend adds a touch of drama to any wedding dress. Planning a lively reception? Slits create a sense of movement, making them ideal for the bride ready to dance the night away. This specific design feature also provides an opportunity to show off footwear, perfect for those wearing show stopping shoes!

WHY BRIDES LOVE IT:

  • Adds movement and flow to the gown.

  • Allows brides to showcase their shoes.

  • Adds a hint of sultriness.


CHANTILLY LACE

Chantilly lace (and matte lace) is taking over in 2025, offering a fresh take on what is considered traditional bridal lace. With its understated finish, Chantilly lace provides a chic look while maintaining a touch of romance. Unlike glossy lace, Chantilly lace has a subtle texture that feels modern and organic. It’s a favorite for brides who want a natural, understated look that still exudes elegance.

WHY BRIDES LOVE IT:
