New York Bridal Fashion Week 2025 was a showcase of glamour, innovation, and fresh trends. From sweeping ball gowns to sleek, modern silhouettes, designers delivered breathtaking looks for every bride and budget. If you’re newly engaged or planning to be, expect these styles to hit stores within the next six months.
New Silhouettes Steal the Show
The biggest trend? The return of basque and dropped waist gowns.
• Basque Waist Gowns: Featuring a corseted bodice with a V- or U-shaped waistline, these gowns create a long, slimming effect. They appeared in both full-skirted and sleek designs, with some corsets even being removable for a versatile look.
• Dropped Waist Gowns: This silhouette extends down to the hipbone, often paired with voluminous ballgown skirts for an elegant contrast.
Bold Fabrics & Romantic Textures
This season, bridal designers embraced bold textures, statement florals, and feminine, airy fabrics. The result? A dreamy, romantic aesthetic that ranged from soft and ethereal to dramatic and voluminous.

Trend Watch: Pearls, High Slits & Convertible Necklines
• Pearl Embellishments: From subtle accents to fully beaded gowns, pearls remain a top trend.
• High Slits: This sultry feature continues to dominate, appearing in both full-skirted ballgowns and sleek draped styles.
• Convertible Necklines: Designers like Galia Lahav introduced mix-and-match pieces, allowing brides to transform strapless gowns into halter or high-neck styles with long sleeves. Last year, Galia featured curvy models on the runway, but this year they were nowhere to be seen.

Curvy & Inclusive Representation on the Runway
Where was the plus-size representation? While inclusivity is improving, true size diversity was still limited. Milla Nova featured stunning styles on curvy models, while Hera Coutoure was the only brand to showcase a true plus-size model.
Many designers now offer sizes up to 24-30, though some charge extra for extended sizing.
Luxury label Anne Barge is proud to be a size-inclusive brand. Dresses from their collections can be made into sizes 0-22 and 16SP-24SP. Anne Barge understands how meaningful it is for brides to be able to try on wedding dresses without the worry of a gown not being available in some sizing.
Justin Alexander ensures all sizes ip through 30 remain at the same price point. The brand also prioritizes color inclusivity, offering sheer tulle corset inserts in a wide range of skin tones.
Find Your Perfect Fit: Customizable Luxury Wedding Gowns for Every Bride
When shopping for your dream wedding dress, finding the perfect fit is essential—especially for curvy and plus-size brides. Most designer wedding gowns are made to order, using precise measurements taken by your bridal stylist at the salon. Even if sample sizes aren’t available to try on, you can still have a stunning, custom-fitted gown in your size.
Handcrafted Luxury Wedding Dresses Made in the USA
Renowned designer Sareh Nouri creates exquisite wedding gowns, handmade and manufactured exclusively in the USA. Each dress is more than just a gown—it’s a meticulously crafted work of art designed to fit and flatter.
Custom Wedding Dress Options for the Perfect Fit
Looking for the perfect designer wedding dress? Explore custom options to create a gown tailored just for you!
Many luxury bridal designers, including Galia Lahav, Berta, and Anne Barge, offer customization options that may not be widely advertised. From adjusting the neckline and reinforcing straps for extra support to adding detachable sleeves or boning for enhanced waist definition, these modifications can help create your perfect silhouette.
When selecting your wedding dress, be sure to ask your bridal stylist about available customizations to ensure your gown fits flawlessly and reflects your personal style.
Bridal Fashion Week 2025 proved that this season is all about versatility, bold details, and inclusive design. Whether you’re dreaming of a classic ballgown, a sleek mini, or a gown with interchangeable elements, the future of bridal fashion is all about making every bride feel stunning.
