Our Bridal Trend Predictions for 2025 ~ The Catherine Deane Forecast
It has been an exciting and busy start to the year here at Catherine Deane. We’ve used the first month of 2025 to get inspired by all the latest trends that graced the bridal catwalks and we’re excited to share our favourites! From a play on old and new, a return to opulence and exploring new traditions, we take a deeper look at how you can incorporate and reimagine these trends for your wedding day.
Elegant Bridal Capes
For decades, veils have been the quintessential bridal accessory however, we see bridal capes stepping into the spotlight in 2025. Offering brides a modern yet ethereal alternative, bridal capes come in a variety of styles, from sheer tulle adorned with delicate embroidery to dramatic, floor-length pieces that make a sweeping statement as you walk down the aisle. We love the versatility of a bridal cape ~ offering brides styling options that allow them to create multiple bridal looks for the various stages of their wedding day.
Unique Bridal Separates
Curate a bridal look that is uniquely you by exploring the endless options that bridal separates offer. With mix-and-match tops, skirts, trousers, and jackets, bridal separates allow you to design an outfit that reflects your unique style and vision. What appeals to us most about this bridal trend is how effortlessly bridal separates slot into your everyday wardrobe to be enjoyed for many years after your big day - the ultimate in sustainable luxury!
Comfortable Corsetry
Corsetry made a bold return to the bridal catwalks in 2024/2025, blending timeless elegance with modern comfort. This updated take on a bridal classic offers both structure and support while creating exquisite silhouettes. The corsetry of today is a far cry from the somewhat torturous tailoring of yesteryear. By utilising soft floral laces and sheer tulle, and incorporating modern boning and structure, the end result is ethereal and fuss-free, allowing brides to embrace structure in a more comfortable way.
Floral Lace
Bring on the romance and allure of delicately detailed floral lace! After a long reign of minimalism we are so happy to see one of our favourite mediums back and better than ever. We adore the versatility of floral lace and how it can be applied across all bridal styles - whether you are a boho bride or a classic one, there is a botanical inspired lace that will bring your vision to life.
While white and ivory remain classic choices for bridal wear, 2025 is all about adding subtle pops of colour to your wedding day ensemble. Soft blush, champagne and pale silver tones can be woven into every aspect of your bridal look, from the lining of your wedding dress to the wiring in your hair accessories and earrings. Pairing a more colourful bridal look with neutral accessories ensures the focus remains on the subtle, yet striking colour accents.
The LWD
The bridal trends in 2025 empower brides to make the most of their special day by embracing the notion of more than one bridal outfit. While few brides want to take their wedding dress off, it’s undeniable that long trains become a hindrance when you’re ready to hit the dance floor later on in the day - cue The Little White Dress! The design options in this category are endless. Opt for something more relaxed than your main gown or, go all out with corseted bodices and structured mini skirts. The only prerequisite for this outfit is that it makes you feel fabulous while allowing you to celebrate the night away in comfort.
Statement Accessories
No perfectly curated bridal look is complete without statement accessories. We’ll go as far as saying that a bridal look is only as good as the accessories you pair it with and with the array of options available, from detailed headpieces, statement earrings and exquisite handbags there is no reason for concern as to how to find the perfect match.
As you prepare for your big day, let these 2025 bridal trends inspire you to create a look that feels authentically you. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless romance of floral lace, the innovative versatility of bridal separates, or the bold drama of a statement cape, this year’s trends offer endless possibilities for personalisation and creativity. Your wedding day is a celebration of love and a reflection of your unique style. Embrace these trends and make your bridal vision come to life in a way that’s unforgettable and uniquely you.
