Yes, just like the rest of our wardrobes, wedding dresses are also subject to trends. Especially now that more fashion brands are stepping into the bridal sector, and reimagining the traditional white dress more in line with the runway. This means today’s brides have more choices than ever—far beyond the classic meringue skirt or slinky silk slip.
Translating these trends into actual wedding dresses are Rixo founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey, whose wedding dress collections are absolutely booming—think white sequin mini dresses, tiered ruffle skirts, and bow-front silk tops. Then there’s Amy Anderson, creative director and co-founder of Kindred of Ireland, crafting contemporary bridal pieces from locally sourced linen. I asked all three of them to lift the lid on the wedding dress trends that are about to boom this year, and their insights offer the perfect mix of nostalgic styles with a more modern touch—plus, a growing demand for dresses that can actually be re-worn.
