All the Bridal & Bridesmaid trends for 2026

2026 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in bridal fashion, and it all starts with colour. Pantone has named Cloud Dancer the Colour of the Year for 2026 - a soft, airy white that feels effortlessly bridal. This modern, romantic shade sets the tone for a new wave of white wedding dresses, minimal bridal looks and elevated neutrals, making it the perfect foundation for today’s contemporary weddings.

More than ever, bridal dressing is deeply personal. With weddings taking place everywhere from intimate courthouse ceremonies to sunset celebrations by the sea, and elegant cathedral weddings, bridal fashion has evolved to reflect the many ways couples choose to say “I do”. 

Below, we’ve rounded up the top bridal trends for 2026, alongside the key bridesmaid dress trends you’ll be seeing everywhere, including colour palettes, fabrics and silhouettes. Plus, expert styling tips to help you curate a wedding day wardrobe that feels timeless, expressive and completely your own. 💍✨

1. Statement Pearl Details

A classic yet utterly modern additional to your outift that just makes it all that more Bridal. These lustrous accents bring luxurious texture and timeless romance to white and ivory gowns alike, perfect for brides who want tradition with a twist. (Vogue, 2025). Our Holly Dress is the perfect take on this, featuring a delicate mesh bardot neckline adorned with hand-applied pearl embellishments. For the brides that want a maxi style, check out our Pearl Dress with hand-applied pearls scattered across for refined glamour.

3. Lace & Romantic Details

Think delicate lace overlays, sheer long sleeves and elegant high necklines, finished with barely-there textures that feel romantic without feeling overly traditional. Lace is no longer about heavy structure or formality. (Vogue, 2025). Our Tasha Lace Cup Sleeve is the perfect bridal Mini. Also comes as a Midi Dress.

4. Multiple Bridal Looks

Bridal style isn’t just about the big day anymore. From engagement celebrations and hen parties to the wedding weekend itself and the honeymoon after, more brides are choosing multiple looks for every moment. It’s all about letting your style evolve as your journey unfolds. Because this season of your life deserves more than just one outfit. ✨ Our Anya Pearl Scatter Mini is the perfect celebration dress, then change into our gorgeous Charlotte Bow Back Mini for your second dress. 

5. Bridesmaids: Mix-and-Match Looks

This trend not only looks stunning in photos but makes getting dressed for the big day easier and more personal. Chose a mix of dresses from our Signature Sculpt and Satin range for the perfect mix complementary hues and silhouettes that each bridesmaid feels amazing in.

💡 Pro Styling Tips for Your 2026 Bridal Wardrobe

• Accessorise with intention: Pearls and lace pairs beautifully with classic jewellery, but don’t shy away from modern metallic or coloured accents if that reflects your wedding theme.

• Think about photography: Softer tones and rich textures tend to photograph better across different lighting - especially outdoors or at golden hour.

• Consider comfort too: With wedding weekends becoming more of a takeover event, dresses that move (and breathe!) make enjoying every moment that much easier.
