We asked Mikaella Bernstein at Paloma Blanca and Mikaella Bridal for her expert view on the latest bridal trends.
Halter necklines
Halter necklines are set to shine in 2025! They are perfect for brides who want to flaunt their shoulders and arms while feeling secure in a supportive neckline. Whether you’re a modern minimalist or embracing a more classic aesthetic, halter necklines effortlessly complement a variety of bridal styles.
Brides are falling in love with this silhouette’s timeless charm and modern appeal, making it a top pick for the upcoming bridal season.
Drop waists
Drop waists are making a strong comeback, offering a flattering, elongated profile that is both elegant and modern. By extending the bodice to the hips, this style creates a seamless flow into the skirt, making it an excellent choice for brides who seek a balance of structure and fluidity. The drop waist is particularly flattering for brides looking to highlight their natural curves without sacrificing comfort. Not only are drop waists incredibly versatile, complementing both traditional and modern wedding themes, they also pair beautifully with a variety of fabrics and embellishments.
Textured fabrics
Textured fabrics such as brocade and printed organza are gaining popularity as one of the major bridal trends in 2025. They add a unique and luxurious touch to both traditional and contemporary bridal designs. Ideal for brides who appreciate intricate detailing, these fabrics promise to elevate your wedding day ensemble, whether you lean towards classic elegance or modern flair, ensuring you shine with effortless style and grace.
Convertible styles
Convertible styles with the ability to offer two distinct looks in one dress are revolutionizing bridal fashion. These versatile designs allow brides to effortlessly transition from ceremony to reception without the need for a full outfit change. Ideal for the modern bride who values practicality without compromising on style, convertible styles provide a seamless blend of elegance for a dramatic entrance and comfort for a relaxed reception.
Slits
Slits have evolved from a trend to a staple in bridal fashion. Whether subtly daring or boldly dramatic, slits offer a contemporary look with a captivating twist. At Paloma Blanca and Mikaella Bridal, we’ve long embraced the versatility of slits, recognizing a growing preference among brides for their ability to blend elegance with a touch of contemporary charm. Perfect
for enhancing both the aesthetic and practicality of any wedding ensemble, ensuring you feel radiant and unrestricted as you celebrate your love story.
Basque-ing In It
One of the standout bridal trends for 2025 is the return of the Basque waist, says Bernstein. “Known for its distinctive V-shaped waistline, this style captures the hearts of brides seeking a timeless yet striking bridal look. Whether you prefer voluminous skirts or a more streamlined design, the Basque waist is perfect for accentuating the waist and creating a polished silhouette,” she says. So it was fitting that at Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week, the Basque look, named for the northern region of Spain where it has its origins, was a top trend.
