2025 Wedding Dress Forecast: What Are the Top Trends to Look Out For?

As 2025 approaches, brides-to-be are looking for the latest styles to make their wedding day unforgettable. The trends this year are a perfect mix of modern elegance, timeless classics, and sustainable choices. Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek minimalist gown or a bold, statement-making dress, these 2025 trends are sure to inspire you.

At Legacy Bridal Boutique, we’re excited to showcase these incredible trends and help brides find "the one." Here’s an early look at the top wedding dress trends that are set to dominate the bridal fashion scene in 2025.


1. Statement Sleeves

Sleeves are taking center stage this year with dramatic styles that add flair and personality to any gown. From puffed sleeves to sheer long sleeves with intricate detailing, this trend is perfect for the bride who wants a romantic yet bold look.

Many 2025 designs feature detachable sleeves, offering brides the flexibility to switch up their look between the ceremony and reception. This allows for a 2-in-1 look for the vows and a more playful style for the after-party.



2. Sheer Fabrics

Sheer, ethereal gowns are trending big time, offering a delicate and modern h 00twist to classic bridal looks. Layered with lace, tulle, or chiffon, these gowns create a dreamy, romantic effect while showing just enough skin for a subtly daring appearance. Whether it’s a sheer bodice, illusion neckline, or see-through skirt layered over silk, sheer dresses are perfect for brides looking to add a contemporary, elegant edge to their look.

Legacy Favorites: Sheer gowns pair beautifully with intricate lace details or floral appliqués for a look that feels both traditional and fashion-forward.



4. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Gowns

Sustainability continues to be a major focus for brides in 2025, with many choosing eco-friendly options for their big day. Our Maggie Sottero Designs family has been making this a major focus the past few seasons with recycled materials and ethical production practices, brides and designers are making mindful choices that align with their values.

We’re proud to offer a range of sustainable wedding dresses that are both beautiful and ethically made, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice style for sustainability.


Why We Love It: Sustainable gowns are not only good for the planet but are often crafted with extraordinary attention to detail, making each dress a work of art.



5. Bold Cutouts

For brides who want to make a statement, bold cutouts are making waves in 2025. These cutouts, whether on the sides, back, or waist, add a modern, sultry touch to bridal looks without losing their sophistication. Cutouts are perfect for brides looking for a gown that offers a fresh twist on traditional silhouettes, adding intrigue and flair.

Style Tip: Opt for subtle cutouts that blend seamlessly with the overall design, keeping the look sleek and refined while still making a bold statement.


6. Colorful Wedding Gowns

While white and ivory will always be bridal staples, more brides are opting for color in 2025. Soft pastels like blush, champagne, and powder blue are gaining popularity, adding a modern twist to the traditional wedding gown. These colors offer brides a way to express their personality while still looking bridal.

Legacy Favorites: Explore our collection of subtly colored gowns for a unique look that still feels timeless and elegant.



7. Basque Waistlines

The basque waistline, a silhouette that dips down into a V-shape at the front of the dress, is making a comeback in 2025. This style, reminiscent of regal gowns from centuries past, is flattering for many body types and adds a touch of historical romance to any dress. The basque waistline elongates the torso, creating a sleek, elegant look, perfect for brides seeking a timeless, princess-like gown.

Why We Love It: This classic shape adds drama and sophistication, making it a great choice for formal, traditional weddings.



9. Capes and Overskirts

Another trend taking bridal fashion by storm in 2025 is the use of capes and overskirts. These detachable pieces add versatility to any gown, allowing brides to change up their look throughout the day. A dramatic cape can replace a traditional veil, while an overskirt can give you the volume of a ballgown without committing to one silhouette for the entire event.

Why We Love It: Capes and overskirts allow brides to create multiple looks with one dress, offering both drama and convenience.




From bold cutouts and sculptural designs to the return of the regal basque waistline, 2025’s wedding dress trends offer something for every bride. Here at Legacy Bridal Boutique, we’re dedicated to helping each bride find her dream gown, whether that means embracing modern trends or opting for a timeless classic.
