Dressed To Impress

Dressed To Impress

Q I'm looking for the perfect bridal gown; what styles are popular?
A Louise North says: As we look ahead to 2025, the bridal world is embracing fun, fresh trends that celebrate individuality and creativity. Gone are the days of traditional, cookie-cutter wedding looks – 2025 is all about embracing bold, unique styles that make every bride feel like her most authentic self. One of the standout styles is the return of bows – big, bold, and beautifully placed. Whether on the back of a gown, at the waist or even adorning the sleeves, bows make a statement as a chic and playful detail. The look adds a touch of whimsy and personality, perfect for brides who want to showcase their fun side without sacrificing elegance.

Mini-wedding dresses are having a moment, with brides opting for short, flirty styles perfect for modern celebrations, second looks, or destination weddings. These dresses are for a bride who wants to dance the night away without worrying about dragging a long train behind her. Short dresses are stylish and practical while allowing for more freedom and movement, making them ideal for those looking to mix tradition with a modern twist.

Let's not forget about the rise of basket corsets, which offer a stunning blend of structure and elegance. These corsets have become the perfect way to cinch the waist while giving a vintage-inspired twist to contemporary bridal fashion. Whether paired with a flowing skirt or a fitted silhouette, basket corsets bring a touch of timeless sophistication.

Overall, 2025 is about breaking tradition, embracing personality, and making bold choices. These trends allow brides to express their unique style, whether drawn to romantic, modern, or eclectic vibes. It's an exciting time in the bridal world, and we're thrilled to see how these trends bring more individuality and creativity into weddings!
