Insider insights on the hottest bridal trends.
Bridgerton Vibes (Featuring Corsetry)
The Bridgerton influence shows no signs of slowing down, with brides choosing historical, almost regal looking gowns for the big day. Corsetry remains at the heart of this trend, whether subtly integrated within the dress structure or boldly displayed as a statement feature. Brides love the cinched look with a dramatic v-drop on the bodice, but also the visible structure with boning channels on illusion bodices.
These offer an alluring look while still maintaining that vintage aesthetic.

Decorative Buttons
Brides are opting for lots of buttons cascading down the back of their gown, all the way down the train. This works particularly well, especially on simpler gowns as it transforms a minimalist dress into something extra special.

Sleeves
Sleeves are having their moment, with designers offering creative solutions for every bride’s comfort level. Over-the-arm draping provides flattering coverage for the upper arms whilst maintaining an ethereal, romantic quality.
Another popular choice for brides are sleeves that are completely separate to your dress; voluminous puff sleeves or a more sleek slip up the arms both allow brides to customise their look.

Sparkles
It’s all about the sparkle, particularly in ballgowns featuring tulle. Gowns showcase layers of Chantilly lace combined with sparkle, which adds stunning depth and creates a richer aesthetic.

Veils
Full length veils can offer a dramatic look as you walk down the aisle. When paired with a lace gown, consider a plain veil to allow your dress to remain the star of the show.
A plain gown can be elevated with a veil; A ribbon-edged veil provides beautiful weight and drape. Create a chic, European inspired look with a lace veil paired with a simple gown; lace can either start from the top of the head or just at the elbows to frame your dress.
