The Bridal Wedding Fashion Trends To Watch For 2025

Hello Folks,

With the bridal season just around the corner, a fresh wave of iconic designs is set to shape the look of weddings this coming year.

For brides-to-be and wedding fashion stylists alike, the most exciting time of the year has arrived. Renowned bridal designers from around the globe have already revealed their latest collections, perfect for those planning to walk down the aisle next wedding season.

This season’s trends showcased stunning corsets, embellishments, and unforgettable gowns with finely tuned construction.

We’re spotting key trends that hint at the New York Fashion Week runway of what’s in store for the modern bride. So, Let’s get you started!

Corsets

Corsets have made a stylish comeback, adding structure and elegance to various bridal looks. This season, designers experimented with visible corsets layered over dresses and those sewn seamlessly into gowns.

Wiederhoeft’s debut of their size-inclusive corset line at NYFW turned heads, with many talking about their unique and bold bridal pieces. We also saw corsets with exposed boning featured in KYHA and WONÁ Concept standout shows paired with drop-waist designs for a sleek silhouette.

This trend is versatile, as it can be the focal point of a dramatic ball gown or the subtle touch of a sleek sheath dress, giving all brides a taste of vintage charm to the modern bride’s wardrobe.

Basque Waists

The last season’s drop-waist silhouette has evolved with a more refined and flattering twist: the basque waist. 

Defined by a U or V-shaped dip at the waistline, this style creates a beautifully sculpted, nipped-in effect through the fabric’s curves.

Corsets helped Enaura embrace the trend in its finely beaded styles, while Galia Lahav used basque waists for many of its lace-covered gowns. Other designers, like Rime Arodaky incorporated the silhouette in fabrics like duchess satin for a softer yet still sculpted look.

Laces And Macramé

It’s no surprise that lace has remained a favorite fabric of many bridal designers. 

Monique Lhuillier once again infused her signature beautiful lace into several of her gowns to create classic looks for brides. Jaclyn Whyte’s collection also stood out for its impressive use of high-quality, unique patterns to create full-lace pieces that range from traditional to dramatic and sexy. 

These subtle lace accents were another big hit, with brands like Savage & Hunt blending delicate lace details with luxurious silk for a look that’s both classic and modern.

Tulle Skirts

Tulle skirts are back in the spotlight bringing a dreamy, weightless feel to bridal gowns that seem to float down the runway. Designers used delicate layers of soft tulle for a light-as-air effect, adding just enough volume to create an enchanting look.

Vivienne Westwood’s latest made-to-order bridal line highlights this trend with a voluminous tulle petticoat paired with a chic, drop-waist ivory corset. Meanwhile, J. Andreatta’s standout Calista gown kept the tulle soft and flowing, accented with satin and lace for a sweet, romantic vibe.

For those wanting tulle to be part of their night, the Mark Ingram Atelier Collection released a unique strapless gown with a full tulle skirt that can be removed to reveal a Mikado sheath underneath.

Embellishments

In 2025, brides will sparkle even more than just from their engagement rings. This season incorporated gowns adorned with crystals, pearls, and shimmering details that bring a radiant touch to wedding day attire.

Marco & Maria wowed us with gowns featuring beautifully embroidered jewel accents. At the same time, Hermione De Paula’s featured stunning beaded and crystal-covered designs that could take you both down the aisle and to the after-party. 

For those brides wanting an all-out shimmering look should turn to Francesca Miranda’s new line, which includes a stunning silver-beaded gown that will catch attention with every step.

Mini Dresses

Perfect for city hall ceremonies, after-parties, or adventurous destination weddings, mini dresses bring a fresh, stylish edge to bridal wear. 

A shorter hemline doesn’t mean compromising on luxury, as designers like Elie Saab have proven that stunning minis crafted from exquisite fabrics and hand-applied details will match the elegance of the bride’s full-length gowns.
