1. Liquid Architecture

High-shine satin and sculptural draping defined a wave of gowns that looked poured onto the body. Jenny Yoo’s Adora collection led with sleek halters and satin minis styled with veils, while Leah Da Gloria paired corsetry with silk that fell like sculpture. KYHA, Nicole + Felicia, and Alexandra Grecco added their own refined takes on this streamlined aesthetic, while Floure experimented with liquid folds and fluid tailoring, proving fluidity and structure can coexist.

2. Baroque & Victorian Revival

History returned with new force. Maison Margot’s Mirage des Camélias channelled Victorian romance through corsetry, lace mantillas and operatic silhouettes. Francesca Miranda embroidered Colombian roses into regal gowns, while Jane Hill’s pearl and crimson corsetry added gothic drama. Ines di Santo’s Respira brought theatre to the runway, and Berta leaned into unapologetic sparkle and opulence.

3. Head Framing: Hoods, Veils & Capes

This season, headwear moved from accessory to focal point. Jenny Yoo styled sheer veils with playful minis, while Margot and Francesca Miranda showed lace mantillas as centrepieces. Ferrah pushed caping into sculptural territory, Elly Sofocli worked with architectural veils, and Watters offered cathedral-length drama reimagined for 2026.

4. The Dual Bride

The bridal wardrobe expanded again, cementing the multi-look bride. Leah Da Gloria’s Boheme Diffusion gave brides ceremony-to-reception flexibility, whilst also showing a bridesmaid collection with each gown design to move perfectly with the body offering a timeless re-wearable piece, while Jenny Yoo introduced detachable skirts and minis for after-dark. Made With Love offered convertible silhouettes, KYHA played with separates, and Watters balanced accessibility with adaptability.

5. Sculptural Romance

Romance arrived engineered rather than soft. Francesca Miranda’s floral embroidery and structured gowns embodied couture craftsmanship. Leah Da Gloria emphasised architectural corsetry, while Margot staged gowns as living sculpture. Elsewhere, Floure experimented with avant-garde draping and Alexandra Grecco translated sculpture into fluid folds.

The Takeaway

Fall 2026 underscored bridal fashion’s duality: a season of contrasts where history and futurism, fluidity and form, intimacy and spectacle all converged. For brides, it signals choice,  the ability to be minimal, maximal, romantic, or radical, often all in one celebration.
