DROP THAT WAIST The Jazz Age of the 1920s returns with vengeance. For the bride looking for something both modern and classic, the drop waist is both now very popular again as well as vintage. On the right gal, it can be very flattering, elongating, and eye-catching, offering up a lovely silhouette.
CAT-EYE NECKLINES The cat-eye neckline is defined by the sharp and angular edges pointing up towards the shoulders. Haute couture dresses for formalwear and now bridalwear are dominating the modern bride scene. Paired with the basque waist, it offers drama, sexiness, and comes off as powerful and confident as it stunningly highlights the arms and shoulders.
BUBBLE HEMS No one will mistake who the bride is when she enters the room in one of these volume powerhouses. Ultra- feminine yet modern, this look gives you a show-stopping moment with ballroom elegance. Especially lovely, and perfect for convertible wedding dresses as you go from day formal to night party and dance at the reception.

LACE-UP LOOKS Corset designs are not a thing of the past when the details are on full display on the front. Lace-up details front and center as opposed to on the back have now become a unique design detail rather than a hidden trick. The contour makes the fit more easily perfect and at the same time pushes it forward in time. There are a lot of variations out there on this theme.
A SCARF MOMENT Does anything look more Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn, or Grace Kelly than a bride’s neck draped gracefully in a simple chiffon scarf? Not only is it stunning down the aisle, but imagine a flowing scarf in those wedding pictures with a slight breeze blowing. Whoa! The perfect alternative to the more traditional bridal veil, they look best with a lower neckline and bare arms.
TRICKY TOPPING Revealing sheer beads or lace is a big part of the fashion scene in ready-wear in 2025. It makes perfect sense that the detachable trend also comes into play with light, playful tops and/or sleeves that can go from that “I do” moment to “party like it’s 1999” afterwards.
