Bridal fashion is evolving beautifully right now and 2026 is already gearing up to be a year of fresh, romantic wedding dresses! We love to stay ahead of the curve here at Mary’s Designer Bridal Boutique, so here’s a look at the top trends to look for if you’re getting married next year:
3D Floral Accents
These textured details are going to be so popular for 2026 bridal fashion because they combine classic romance with modern styles, offering a whimsical aesthetic that adds texture and depth to a wedding dress. The appeal here is in the multidimensional, sculpted quality of these appliques, which can either be delicate floating petals to oversized blooms. It’s perfect for brides looking for a memorable statement wedding dress. Designers are embracing this style through both dimensional floral appliques and lace on lace embroidery, which captures the romance of springtime through movement and depth. Brides who want a combination of innovation and tradition will love these details!

Basque & Drop-Waist Silhouettes
Basque waist wedding dresses have already been widely popular this year and will continue next year for good reason! These bridal gowns offer a blend of vintage and modern aesthetics, with the basque waist creating a dramatic and flattering shape for an hourglass figure. The dropped waist also creates a long, lean silhouette that feels timeless and chic. Designers are loving these styles because it incorporates contemporary fabrics with elegance, historical-inspired details (think Bridgerton inspired fashion!). If you’re looking for a wedding dress that’s equal parts statuesque and regal, this is the 2026 bridal trend for you.

Statement Bows
Bows are also currently having a moment and will absolutely continue to do so in 2026! Bows are great because they offer versatile playful and romantic details for any wedding vibe, appearing in everything from delicate touches on dresses to grand statements on the backs of gowns. They’re a great symbol of joy and youthfulness that elevates even the most simple wedding dress and allows for reinvention of classic silhouettes.
