In early April, New York City hosts the ultimate bridal fashion hub as dozens of designers unveiled their newest collections. Beauty was in no short supply—think delicate lace, flowing tulle, sumptuous satin, intricate appliqués, dazzling beading, and plenty of shimmer. Among the glamour, several standout trends emerged, offering modern spins on timeless bridal elements. We’ve rounded up eight of our favorite trends from the Spring 2025 runways to inspire your wedding day look. Whether you're beginning your dress hunt or searching for that perfect second ensemble, this guide offers a glimpse of what you might be wearing down the aisle next year.
1. Drop Waist Drama
The drop waist silhouette stole the spotlight this season, making an appearance in nearly every major collection. This elongating shape—characterized by a bodice that dips below the natural waist—nods to 1920s glamour while feeling entirely fresh. KYHA Studios showcased a stunning version with ruched tulle stretched across a corset-style bodice, while Monique Lhuillier and Ines Di Santo embraced the look with long, form-fitting tops over breezy layers of tulle.
2. Bows, Bows, Bows
Bows have quietly made their way into bridal over recent seasons, but for Spring 2025, they're front and center. From subtle accents to dramatic statements, bows adorned countless dresses. One standout? Amsale’s sleek Anderson column dress, featuring an oversized back bow that cascades to the hem. And bows aren’t just for gowns—Monique Lhuillier incorporated them into bridal hairstyles, hinting at their popularity for ponytails and half-up styles next year.
3. Versatile Toppers and Accessories
With more brides choosing multiple looks for their big day, designers are delivering with versatile pieces and transformative accessories. Amsale’s high-neck lace topper, for instance, can be layered over a strapless gown to create the illusion of a completely different look. Galia Lahav’s floral applique topper offers a romantic overlay that reinvents a classic silhouette. These mix-and-match options are perfect for indecisive brides or those wanting to evolve their style throughout the celebration.
4. Mini 3-D Floral Appliqués
While hand-painted florals and soft pastels were all the rage last year, this season brings a new kind of bloom: tiny, three-dimensional floral appliqués. Elie Saab’s long-sleeve mini sparkled with petite florals, Francesca Miranda’s Andromeda gown was a lush garden brought to life, and Honor added whimsical daisies to a flowing tulle skirt. Mira Zwillinger continued her signature style with ethereal florals that seemed to float off the lace. Whether you're planning a garden fête or a grand black-tie affair, this look is both fresh and romantic.
5. High-Impact Sparkle
The party bride has officially arrived—and so has her sparkle. From glimmering ballgowns to twinkling mini dresses, shine was everywhere. Dana Harel, Ines Di Santo, and Mira Zwillinger all embraced glittering fabrics, while new names like Kim Kassas delivered statement-making sparkle with couture-level beading and crystal work. Francesca Miranda added a festive touch with a sequin-covered party dress finished in a feathered hem. Because if there’s ever a day to shine bright—it’s your wedding day.
