Lace to crepe: it's all gorgeous

A new season brings fresh bridal inspiration, and 2026 is shaping up to be all about timeless romance with a modern twist. From updated classics to bold statement details, here are the bridal trends we’re swooning over right now.


✨ Fabulous Ballgowns
Oh yes! Finally the extravagant ballgowns are back. Lots of puff, or just a little. We have both in a variety of sample sizes for all brides.


🌿 Lovely Laces
Chantilly laces, delicate corded laces or flat laces, we love them all equally. Nothing says wedding like lace — perfect for spring and summer “I dos.”


👗 Detachable Details
Why choose just one look when you can have two (or three!)? We’re seeing gowns with detachable overskirts, capes, and sleeves that let you switch up your vibe from ceremony to reception — without the big price tag. See below for an example: one dress, three looks.


✨ Big on Basque Waistlines
We started to see this in 2025, but it's bigger and better this year. Collections are showing lots of waist details, from the Basque to a simple drop waist. Perfect for the bride who wants to show off her curves.


🤍 Colourful Touches
From subtle blush and champagne tones to vibrant florals and embroidered pastel accents, a splash of colour is making bridalwear feel fresh and personal in 2026.


💫 High Necklines & Bows
Classic high necks and oversized bows add a touch of regal romance to modern gowns. It’s a beautiful nod to vintage styles, but with a renewed, fashion-forward twist.


A Few Things to Remember

  • Trends are fun, but your gown should feel like you.
  • Don’t be afraid to mix classic and modern elements.
  • Try on styles you don't expect to love — you just might be surprised!
