As we step closer towards 2026, weddings are evolving into deeply personal and unforgettable experiences. Brides and grooms are embracing modern elegance, custom details, and eco-conscious choices to create celebrations that feel unique and meaningful. Whether you’re planning your own wedding or simply love keeping up with the latest trends, here are some of the most exciting wedding trends for 2026.
1. Pearlcore Everything
Pearls are making a huge comeback! From pearl-studded wedding dresses to delicate veils, pearl-adorned accessories, and even pearl-embellished wedding cakes, this timeless trend is adding a touch of sophistication to bridal fashion and décor.
2. Statement Gloves & Vintage Glamour
Long satin or lace gloves are adding an Old Hollywood feel to modern wedding looks. Brides are embracing this vintage touch for the ceremony and then switching to a second, more relaxed look for the reception.
3. Bold & Colourful Wedding Dresses
While classic white will never go out of style, 2026 brides are experimenting with soft pastels, blush tones, champagne hues, and even floral patterns. Expect to see more designers incorporating colour into their bridal collections.
4. Intimate Weddings with Luxe Details
Rather than going for large-scale weddings, couples are focusing on quality over quantity—smaller guest lists with more luxurious touches. Think personalised menus, custom gifts for guests, and breathtaking tablescapes.
5. Bridal Mini Dresses for the Afterparty
More brides are choosing a second dress—often a fun, flirty mini—for the reception or afterparty. It’s the perfect way to let loose and dance the night away in style!
