Last month, our team headed to NYC to view the latest styles from some of our favorite bridal designers. To say this season was a good one would be an understatement, and we’re so excited about the trends we’ll be bringing back to our Columbus bridal bridal boutique! Keep scrolling to view some of the top couture trends + get inspired for your walk-down-the-aisle look.
Drop + Basque Waist Wedding Dresses
A trend we love that’s here to stay! The drop and basque waist gowns aren’t going anywhere this season, and we couldn’t love them more. This silhouette is figure-flattering and elongating, and looks stunning paired with any amount of detail – from clean and classic to intricate lace and beading. We saw dropped and basque waist gowns from a multitude of designers, including Dany Girl, Netta BenShabu, and Leah Da Gloria.
Lace
Romantic, timeless, and oh-so-chic. Lace is a classic in the bridal world, and we’re excited to see her having her moment. Designers like Netta BenShabu, Monique Lhuillier and Nicole + Felicia work with the delicate texture and intricate details, creating an air of effortless beauty and elegance, setting it apart among the 2026 bridal trends as the perfect choice for any bride-to-be.
Multi-Piece Bridal Looks
Brides are embracing versatility like never before! Multi-piece gowns featuring overskirts, detachable sleeves or statement add-ons are perfect for the bride who loves the idea of more than one look, without more than one dress. Gowns designed by Monique Lhuillier, Lea-Ann Belter, Mark Ingram and more provide endless styling possibilities, effortlessly transitioning from the aisle to reception for the 2026 bride and beyond.
Sparkle and Beading
Sparkle has always had a special place in our hearts, but this season she’s really having her moment! From Dany Tabet and Leah Da Gloria to Nicole + Felicia, a touch of sparkle and beading, whether a soft glisten or a statement shine, adds a radiant, unforgettable finish to your bridal look, making you feel timeless yet entirely unique.
Texture
Depth and dimension added to classic bridal silhouettes… what’s not to love? Layered tulle, 3D florals, and unique fabrics bring a textural element that combines movement and personality into every gown, creating a look that feels effortlessly chic. We’re seeing texture beautifully showcased by designers like Leah Da Gloria, Netta BenShabu, and Alyne from 2026 collections.
Ball Gowns
A forever favorite 2026 bridal trend that captures our hearts, seen throughout the collections of many of our designers including Leah Da Gloria, Mark Ingram, and Monique Lhuillier. Ball gowns are having a beautiful renewal this season and we are here for it! The voluminous skirt and defined waist create a flattering, yet statement making silhouette that is completely timeless.
Halter Necklines
The halter neckline beautifully highlights the shoulders and frames the face, giving an effortlessly elegant look that feels confident and classic. Designers such as Dany Tabet, Leah Da Gloria and Netta BenShabu showcase this style flawlessly. It is a perfect option for the bride who wants a touch of modesty while still feeling chic and sophisticated!
Tiered Skirts
There’s something undeniably romantic about a gown that moves with you! Tiered skirts bring that sense of romance and whimsy, each layer adding depth in the most unique way. This style can be found in collections from our incredible designers Mark Ingram, Monique Lhuillier and Ines Di Santo, perfect for the bride who wants her gown to make a statement from every angle.
We left NYC feeling inspired and excited by these trends, many of which are already waiting for you in-store. Our collections bring the best of bridal fashion straight from the runway, to you!
