BRIDAL BOUTIQUES 77 “Who are we kidding? If you didn’t see a bride go off and reappear in a mini-dress during her reception in 2024, you 100 per cent will do in 2025! Yes, you spent a lot of money on your wedding dress, but can you really tear up the dancefloor in your ballgown? The Sparkler, Alpine and Leoni gowns from By Watters are bringing you all the trends just in a mini format. Sparkler with her textured embroidery and sequins, Alpine with her quilted style fabric and basque waist and my favourite Leoni with her dropped waist and black ribbon belt.” – Victoria from The Bottom Drawer Bridal. “Oversize bows on the back of the dress have been a popular trend for some time now and will continue into 2025.” – Nadine from Nadine’s Bridal Boutique. “Jumpsuits have been popular for some time and this trend will continue next year.” – Charlene from Goldsmith’s Bridal.

These will definitely appeal to brides who want a bit of old-world glamour, paired with modern materials for comfort and flexibility.” – Hannah from Coco & Pearl. “Minimalist chic dresses are perfect for modern brides.” – Charlene from Goldsmith’s Bridal. “Sustainability is definitely a growing movement in the bridal industry, and it’s exciting to see it becoming more mainstream. Brides are looking at their gowns as more than just a one-day item; give a dress another chance to make someone feel amazing by opting to buy second-hand. From vintage dresses to eco-friendly fabrics and designs, this trend will help brides make a lasting impact, not just on their wedding day but on the planet too.” – Hannah from Coco & Pearl.
