Bridal Trends of 2025
Bridal trends for 2025 are taking a bold, modern approach while still embracing timeless elements. Designers are continuing to push boundaries with unique silhouettes, unexpected details, and customizable styles, allowing brides to express their personal tastes more than ever. Here are a few of the most popular trends we’ve seen so far!
Firstly, the Anti- Veil trend!
While veils are still a classic option, many brides are opting for alternative accessories or going veil-free entirely. The move is toward a more modern, minimalist aesthetic, focusing on the dress itself rather than a traditional veil. Some brides are having alternative accessories such as Headbands, Statement hair styling, capes or shawls.

The second 2025 trend is the elongated waist.
It’s making a comeback with brides opting for this silhouette to create a statuesque and regal look. Dropped waist designs sit lower than the natural waist enhancing the illusion of height. Vertical seams running through the gown also creates a taller profile.
Of course, thirdly, the ‘more than one look’ trend has to be included!
This has always been a popular trend but 2025 is the year of the convertible dresses. Versatile dresses that can provide 2,3 even 4 different looks without having to sneak off and fully change into a whole new outfit. Removable sleeves, a detachable overskirt or even just changing jewellery or shoes to make the outfit more fun throughout the day. Each dress can look so different with a few tweaks suitable for each part of your special occasion.

Lastly, were seeing a lot of corsetry surging through bridal fashion and will be seeing more of it in 2025!
This trend brings structure and elegance but can lean towards
either a modern or vintage look. Exposed corsets with visible boning or lacing are a big part of the design now and are not hidden underneath the fabric. Corsets are being modernised with softer fabrics like tulle and satin being used rather than the stiff Mikado style.
Our Evie Young collection has this trend on point.



Overall, the bridal aesthetic for 2025 is leaning heavily towards personalisation and flexibility. Brides are looking for designs that reflect their individual style, whether that's through non-traditional elements like detachable skirts or by abandoning the veil in favour of bold hair accessories. The focus is on mixing timeless elegance with modern practicality, creating multi-dimensional looks that can be adapted throughout the day.
