A Splash of Color: More Than Just White
Forget the old rulebook! This spring, we're seeing pops of color taking center stage, particularly in unexpected ways. The biggest news? Blue! Whether it's a soft powder blue lining, intricate sapphire beading, or an entire gown in a breathtaking robin's egg hue, blue wedding dresses are the chic, modern 'something blue' you never knew you needed. It’s fresh, romantic, and photographs like a dream.

Nature Takes Form: 3D Florals
Floral appliqués have always been a staple, but for 2026, they are literally jumping off the fabric! 3D florals are everywhere - from delicate blossoms scattered across sheer sleeves to dramatic, oversized blooms cascading down a voluminous skirt. This trend adds incredible texture, movement, and an undeniable sense of whimsical romance, making you feel like you've stepped right out of a secret garden.

Necklines Get Geometric: The Square
The silhouette of the season belongs to the square neckline. Offering a sophisticated, flattering frame for the décolletage, this angular cut adds an element of architectural elegance to any gown. It’s structured yet soft, giving a nod to vintage romance while remaining perfectly current. Pair it with a classic sleeve or a modern puff - it works with everything!
