1. Fabrics with Texture & Pattern
While a simple satin gown will never go out of style, 2025 is all about dresses with depth, detail, and a touch of drama. This year, designers are leaning into rich fabrics, layered textures, and intricate embellishments.
Hand-embroidered lace, sequins, beading, floral appliqués, and playful patterns are taking center stage. These rich visual details are fun, flirty, and anything but boring! Marley embodied the trend beautifully in an A-line gown with botanical lace and delicate beading. Get inspired by Marley’s stunning floral wedding at The Station House Hotel.
2. Corsets & Basque Waists
The return of corsetry is upon us, and cinched waists are all the rage! From sleek drop waists to exposed boning and structured bodices, these timeless silhouettes are flattering, feminine, and perfect for brides looking to highlight their curves. Style a corset top with a voluminous tulle skirt for a soft, elegant feel, or pair it with a slitted mermaid skirt for a “snatched and sexy” look.
3. Chic Bridal Accessories
While everyone knows the classics—veils, tiaras, and floral hairpieces—2025 is the year to have fun with bold, personality-packed accessories. Brides are reaching for eclectic touches like long neck scarves, fur coats, and sparkly sunglasses to elevate their look and add a playful twist.
But be careful not to overdo it—this trend is less about piling things on and more about choosing one or two standout pieces that reflect your personal style!
4. Square Necklines
Square necklines have always been popular, and it’s easy to see why. Clean and elegant, this timeless cut flatters a range of body types while adding a romantic flair to any style dress. The sharp angles add visual interest, highlight the collarbones, and pair beautifully with loose waves or a soft updo.
5. Tulle Skirts
In 2025, tulle is all grown up: layered, voluminous, and sexy. Modern brides are reimagining the fabric in fresh, fashionable ways, pairing full tulle skirts with corsets or crop tops for a style that’s edgy, confident, and effortlessly cool.
Leigh embraced the trend beautifully, rocking a white tulle skirt with a satin crop top and heart-shaped sunglasses that gave her bridal ensemble a playful, laid-back vibe. Read all about Leigh’s magical march wedding at The Station House Hotel.
