Trend Check: The most beautiful bridal fashions for 2025

It's the one moment many women have been anticipating for years – and hardly anything is planned with as much care, anticipation (and Pinterest screenshots) as the wedding dress. In 2025, brides can breathe a sigh of relief: Anything goes, nothing is prescribed. The celebrity weddings of recent years are prime examples of this.

The "quiet luxury" trend is also evident in bridal fashion. Simple dresses, flowing fabrics, and clean lines are replacing glitz and glamour. This means less drama and more attention to detail. These looks are timeless, stylish, and incredibly modern at the same time.

An example from last year: Millie Bobby Brown got married in 2024 in an elegant, simple dress – feminine, but without much drama.

If you want to stand out this year, opt for bold accents: XXL bows, 3D flowers, detachable trains, or architectural cuts add that certain something to the bridal look. These dresses are made for brides who enjoy showcasing bold looks.

An example from last year: Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma wore opulent, off-the-shoulder ball gowns with plenty of volume for their 2024 wedding. These dresses are a true statement of glamour and confidence.

In 2025, romance will be reimagined—more delicate, airy, and individual. Classic elements like lace and tulle are given a modern twist with cutouts, floral appliqués, or boho details. The result is a look that's halfway between fairytale and modern.

In 2024, Olivia Henson, the newly crowned Duchess of Westminster, wore a bespoke gown with delicate, feminine details—elegant, royal, and modern. The combination of couture and romantic restraint fits perfectly with the new romantic trend.

Getting married in white may be the classic choice, but that doesn't mean it's mandatory. More and more brides are consciously choosing soft shades like rose, blush, or light blue. These delicate tones have a romantic, individual feel and make a fashion statement. Light pastels are particularly popular, offering a fresh take on the traditional look without being too provocative.

An example from 2023: Kristin Chenoweth wore two blush pink dresses at her wedding—one with an oversized bow and sparkling details, the other short and also decorated with enormous bows. A playful yet stylish choice that shows that color and personality can be impressive—even at a wedding.

In general, the trend seems to be toward a second outfit for the evening celebration. Short dresses, jumpsuits, or sparkling ensembles allow the bride to move freely and enjoy the party to the fullest.

Even the classic one-piece is facing competition. Two-pieces—whether with trousers, a cropped top, or sheer layers—give the bridal look a fresh, contemporary touch. They appear modern, confident, and versatile at the same time.

An iconic example was model Emily Ratajkowski, who married in a mustard yellow pantsuit by Zara at a New York registry office in 2018. Instead of classic white, she opted for color, and instead of a dress, she opted for coolness – proving that bridal fashion can also be fashionable, modern, and minimalist. Even though her marriage is now history, her look remains a style statement. The two-piece suit has long since become more than just an alternative – it's a real trend.

Who says a wedding dress has to be new? More and more brides are discovering the beauty of wearing a dress with a story behind it—perhaps that of their own mother, grandmother, or a significant person. This makes for a wedding that's not only sustainable but also emotional. Princess Beatrice provided a particularly stylish example. In 2020, she wore a vintage Queen Elizabeth II dress that was specially adapted for her.

Whether simple elegance, romantic lace, colorful gowns, or cool two-pieces – bridal fashion in 2025 will be more diverse than ever. Individuality is the common thread running through all trends. It's less about rigid specifications than about possibilities.

Today, brides can choose what suits them – not what's expected of them. The most important trend remains a good feeling. Because whether it's a bow tie, a pantsuit, or a vintage dress: a bride is most beautiful when she stays true to herself.
