Dive into the bridal fashion world as we uncover the latest wedding dress trends fresh from the runways. From ethereal romance to modern twists on classic elegance, designers are pushing boundaries and redefining wedding day style. Join us as we take a closer look at the wedding dress trends heating up the bridal scene this year.
Romance
When THEIA Bridal presented its Autumn 2024 collection, softness and romance were the key elements. Old-world corsetry, rich, bias-cut satins and luxe crepe fabrics mixed with details like transparent organza lace, asymmetrical back drapes and clever keyhole cut-outs. These are wedding dress trends that we see in many fall 2024 bridal collections.
Modern perspective
At Ines Di Santo’s Fall 2024 presentation, the designer said that an artistic study of our relationship between architecture and the ever-changing urban landscapes that surround us was the inspiration. Transparent layers over frameworks of corsetry create new voluminous shapes and silhouettes. Translucent beaded accents shine, adding texture and dimension.
Devotion
At Nadia Manjarrez Bridal, the designer’s own wedding in Mexico informed her direction. Cascading applique flowers and 3D floral veils, silk organza gowns with contrasting black oral embroidery reminiscent of the black grisaille paint used in stained glass, and seams, particularly in corsets, create lines like the unexpected breaks in stained glass.
Garden party
Another one of our favourite wedding dress trends is flowers! Flowers were everywhere on the runways, with designers Esé Azénabor, Dreams by Lihi Hod, and Nardos all leaning into natural and floral inspo. “I’ve named my fall 2024 collection ‘Blossom’ because each piece celebrates the shapes and textures of flowers in full blossom,” says Azénabor.
Drawing from the quiet elegance of nature, The “Petals” collection from Dreams by Lihi Hod is an homage to the delicate beauty yet evocative power of floral allure. For Nardos Imam, it was all about timeless beauty: “I drew inspiration from the texture and blossoming essence of a bride’s journey down the aisle.”
Old-world elegance
Paying tribute to regal femininity and old-world elegance, Reem Acra blends couture styling with intricate yet unassuming designs: “our signature elegant simplicity.” The extras: short dresses, trains, jackets, detachable hoodies, boleros, gloves, and even belts. Highlights include “Refined” – the 3D handmade flowers are the same flowers that adorned the very first wedding dress ever made by the designer.
Separates and multiple looks in one
When talking with Justin Warshaw, creative director of Justin Alexander Group, about the latest wedding dress trends, he said, “Brides are looking for more than one ‘look’ for their wedding day, and a way for bridal designers to address this is the arrival of separates. Detachable trains, skirts, capes and sleeves offer brides two looks within one dress, transforming a gown from a demure day look to a more relaxed evening look.”
