Bridal Trends at New York’s Luxury Bridal Fashion Week in the first week of April, both local wedding dress designers and international bridal brands unveiled their most recent collections. The season’s top trends further demonstrated how closely related the wedding and ready-to-wear markets are.
The newest bridal styles and the spectacular, draping neck scarves from the 1960s nostalgia were very similar on the autumn 2024 runways.
Here, outlines seven essential methods for incorporating a stylish look at the alter.
Drop Waists
Drop waist silhouettes, which pay homage to the midcentury couture volumes that were prevalent in the actual couture displays in Paris, were arguably the largest trend of the spring 2025 bridal season.
Mini Mania in Bridal Trends
Minidresses Bridal Trends also adopted a more Mod style, drawing inspiration from the industry’s current fixation with the 1960s (just check out Viktor & Rolf Mariage’s adorable shifts and Markarian and Honor’s bow-adorned alternatives).
Corset Star
Looking even further back in time, the Elizabethan corsetry was popular and provided a more dramatic look for bridesmaid dresses. Numerous designers included dresses with tightened waists in their Bridal Trends spring 2025 collections; others went one step farther and used corseted separates.
Princess Bride
There’s no denying Kate Middleton’s fame in popular culture, and even though her wedding was back in 2009, her famous Alexander McQueen gown never goes out of style. Its ongoing influence was seen in the rise of high lace collars and voluminous tulle skirts for spring.
Black & White
Brides have been experimenting with colorful gowns in recent years, usually in pastel colors, but this time, black and white gowns were the most popular choices. The trend will be the go-to edgy option of the season, whether it’s an allover print from Ines di Santo and Nadia Manjarrez or a subtle detail like the piping at Mark Ingram.
Novelty Veils
Unconventional design elements extended to the accessories beyond the use of black and strong silhouettes. A wide range of floral-adorned cathedral veils and fascinator-style headpieces were available as novelty veils.
Neck Scarves
Brides who want to defy convention even more and add a little drama may love playing around with flowing, trailing neck treatments.
