<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAt first glance, the theme from the upcoming season\u2019s bridal runways<\/a> may seem like maximalism \u2014 with all the big ball gowns, brilliant sparkle, and sumptuous flourishes. But, really, time-honored sartorial hallmarks, from Elizabethan-era gown craftmanship to \u201880s high-energy volume, are at the heart (sorry) of the Spring 2026 Bridal Fashion Week collections.<\/p>\n This season, bridal designers reinterpret the classics through their distinctive, and often unconventional, visions. The experimental fabrications (see: woven mohair), elaborate adornments (star constellations), and out-of-the-box shapes (bubble skirts<\/a>) speak directly to an exceptionally informed clientele. Today\u2019s brides not only have their fingers on the pulse of \u2014 and stay ahead of \u2014 fashion trends<\/a>, but also want to express individuality through their wedding day style.<\/p>\n \u201cTaking tried-and-true designs and silhouettes from the past, and making them modern, is a really smart way to go,\u201d says Stephanie White, designer of the Los Angeles-based cool bride destination Odylyne the Ceremony<\/a>. \u201cModernizing them just makes it special, instead of latching onto trends.\u201d<\/p>\n Brooklyn-based Tanner Fletcher<\/a> launched bridal in 2024 with a whimsical take on bygone eras. For Spring 2026, the genderless label looks back to the past with looks like a slinky leg-and-shoulder-baring, Art Deco-inspired update on a \u201830s bias-cut gown; an inventively quilted and floral-appliqu\u00e9d \u201840s-esque fit-and-flare dress; and a saucy undone tuxedo, with a retro-ruffled shirt and boxers. \u201cWe\u2019re leaning more into the antique [because it\u2019s] sentimental,\u201d says Fletcher Kassell, who co-designs with partner Tanner Ritchie. \u201cA lot of our clients like to save the dress and pass it on.\u201d<\/p>\n As with last season, versatility still reigns<\/a>, and there really is something for everyone and a full schedule of celebratory events. Ahead, browse the top seven trends for Spring 2026 to help brides reimagine timeless looks to remember forever.<\/p>\n The vintage-referential bridal staple evolves into sultrier iterations. Elie Saab juxtaposes a structured, braided bodice with an ethereal mermaid silhouette or a billowing silk-chiffon skirt. Alexandra Grecco, Kyha, and Es\u00e9 Az\u00e9nabor toughen up alluring corsetry with an almost-sporty lace-up detail at the back, while Justin Alexander Signature frames the side seams. Downtown label Lein transforms the unboned 18th-century men\u2019s \u201cjump\u201d into a peplum cut-out vest, while Yellow by Sahar counters a free-spirited \u201870s-esque, daisy-embroidered ball gown with a Victorian waist cincher.<\/p>\n The hot Victorian-era trend \u2014 with the corset-framing V-shape seaming at the waist \u2014\u00a0 pops up in pretty much every.single.collection, including Ouma, Alyssa Kristin, Cinq, Nadja Manjarrez, Claire Pettibone, and Wona Concept. Conveying a Gatsby-inspired overindulgent party vibe, Gala by Galia Lahav embraces the basque waist on lavishly appliqu\u00e9d and crystal-embellished dresses. \u201cThey\u2019re very modern,\u201d says Galia Lahav creative director Sharon Sever. The waistline provides shaping as well: Amsale\u2019s contouring lines on double-bonded crepe \u201cfeels like a second skin,\u201d says head designer Michael Cho.\u00a0<\/p>\n Voluminous skirting leans heavily into bodice-ripping period piece epics \u2014 but with contemporary takes. Andrew Kwon, Ines di Santo, and Markarian bring the 18th-century pannier (extreme side-hoop skirts) into TikTok times, while Sarah Seven, Lihi Hod, and Yellow by Sahar\u2019s styles boast tubular frills. In terms of embellishments, Viktor & Rolf Mariage adds \u201csculptural puffs\u201d to a gleaming ball gown and a jacquard Tudors-meets-Pretty in Pink <\/em>mini dress. Meanwhile, Marchesa Couture, now exclusively shoppable online at David\u2019s Bridal, accentuates the voluminous skirt with an oversized rosette.<\/p>\n Requisite ribbons and bows feel ultra-fresh, and never twee this season. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing more simplistic designs. Not every bride wants that dramatic look,\u201d says Sabrina Nicholas, creative branding and PR specialist from Meshki. The accessibly priced Australian label offers a range of dainty bows on after-party-ready mini dresses. Viktor & Rolf Mariage features an explosion of its signature bow appliqu\u00e9s and a new ribbon-patterned jacquard on gowns, cheeky mini dresses, and a jaunty cropped pantsuit. Rebecca Vallance covers tailored bows with pearl embellishments on a range of adorable mini dresses.<\/p>\n Surprise! The exuberant silhouette that last appeared in the 2010s can actually be chic and refined, as seen on gowns by Katherine Tash, Kyha, and Lihi Hod; and experimentally bold, like a diaphanous, sculptural cocoon drop-waist corset dress from New Orleans-based Ferrah. \u201cWhat I love about this fashion-forward hemline is its flexibility,\u201d says Kyha founder and creative director Kyha Scott. (The Aussie brand\u2019s runway-only silver disco ball romper<\/a> went immediately viral.) Innovative bustles and hidden string work \u2014 referred to as\u00a0 \u201cpick-ups\u201d \u2014 allow brides to personalize the extent of the bubble on billowing ball gown skirting as seen at Enaura Bridal and Savannah Miller.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing feels more bridal than a beautiful, classic lace,\u201d says Markarian designer Alexandra O\u2019Neill, pointing to the brand\u2019s romantic, vintage-inspired French lace strapless midi dress, coordinating scalloped veil, and mix-and-match toppers. Reem Acra, Galia Lahav, and Ines di Santo also stacked their collections with exquisite gowns and convertible layers. Lace also receives the high-tech and unexpected treatment this season: Lein leveraged Italian-woven mohair yarn for an edgier version of guipure lace trim on gossamer silk chiffon and glimmering lurex capelets, while Odylyne the Ceremony swapped out a hooded cape for a veil over a fluted sleeve gown. And, Amsale experimented with a raffia-corded lace, to create a resplendent leaf motif, on a corseted column gown with a majestic train.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ornamentation, from brazenly opulent accents to subtle luminescence redefines classic silhouettes. \u201cBrides all want clean [dresses] right now. So how do you make it different? You can either drape or make a beautiful hand embroidery,\u201d says Enaura Bridal designer Sohil Mistry, about a precise hand-knotting technique resulting in what looks like finely beaded florals on a captivating basque waist gown. Francesca Miranda amplifies a spectacular French lace dress with 10,000 hand-sewn pearls. At the opposite extreme, Elizabeth Fillmore illuminates a midi-dress with a dreamy formation. \u201cA constellation of stars,\u201d says the New York City-based designer. \u201cI love the delicateness of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Like what you see?
