Hello Lovelies! Your wedding day is a chance to show your love and your personal style in a dress you feel beautiful in. Whether you dream of a bold, dramatic entrance or a romantic, whimsical look, Bella Sera has a dress for everyBODY and every bride. Here are some of the top 2025 wedding dress trends that will inspire you to find the dress that celebrates your unique beauty and brings joy on your wedding day! 

Basque Waists

The Basque Waist is making a statement this year. Almost every designer at New York Fashion Week had the Basque Waist in their collection. Its dramatic V-shape elongates the torso and cinches the waist, whether on a fitted dress, A-line, or ballgown. 

Corsets

Corsets are making a comeback in a big way. The structured detail creates a feminine silhouette that enhances curves. You could also choose a lace-up back that can be tightened to create a cinched-in waist or loosened for a more comfortable feel.

Ball Gowns

The classic ballgown remains a favorite. A ballgown is the way to go if you want to feel like a princess on your wedding day. This timeless shape can easily incorporate trends like the Basque Waist, corset, and bows.

Bows

Bows continue to be popular in bridal fashion. They are sweet and timeless and can be placed on the waist, back, train, or sleeves. Bows can be subtle and dainty or big and dramatic, whatever your heart desires.

Jacquard

Jacquard is having a moment. This luxurious material, featuring intricate patterns woven directly into the fabric, works seamlessly with any silhouette. Jacquard fabric adds depth and visual interest, giving even the simplest gown a regal feel.

Lace

Lace is a mainstay in bridal fashion, but we’re seeing a modern twist on it with more defined outlined patterns. Lace adds a touch of romance, whether it’s all over or strategically placed accents.

Sleeves

Sleeves add a bit of elegance and a unique, eye-catching touch. They can be off-the-shoulder, cap sleeves, or feature billowing silhouettes. We’re seeing a variety of textures and fabrics on sleeves, such as sheer, lace, and dramatic cuffs.

Two-Piece

Bridal separates offer a fresh alternative to traditional bridal gowns and are more easily customizable. Mix a corset top with a full or slimmer skirt for two different looks. Adding a removable overskirt can create a fun transition from the ceremony to the reception.

Floral Elements

Florals are springing up on the runways in the form of appliques, embroidery, and textured fabrics that create a petal-like look. These floral details create a romantic, whimsical look.

Color

We are seeing more color on gowns, whether in a floral design on dresses and veils or simply a soft blush hue to add a romantic vibe.

Slits

A slit on a bridal dress adds an unexpected twist and drama. You can go with a high slit to show off some leg or a shorter one for a more modest look. It’s also the perfect detail for brides who want to dance the night away.

Minimalist

Minimalist dresses, such as the Stella York gowns pictured below, are always in style for brides who desire a classic, timeless look. This trend of simpler gowns with clean lines and luxurious fabrics is elegant and sophisticated.

Cat-Eye Necklines

The cat-eye trend adds a modern twist to the ever-popular strapless dress. Its scoop shape with two defined points mimics the shape of a cat’s eye, making this a glamorous look with an edge.
