Bridal Fashion Trends We’re Loving for 2026
Bridal fashion in 2026 is all about intention, individuality, and impact. This year’s trends are embracing bold silhouettes, modular styling, and a return to craftsmanship all with a modern edge. At TEMPÊTE, we’ve always championed fashion-forward bridalwear, so it’s no surprise we’re already ahead of the curve on some of this year’s most exciting looks.
Here are the bridal fashion trends we’re loving and designing for in 2026.
Structure meets softness.
Sculptural Corsets
Exposed boning, bold seams, and architectural shaping are at the heart of this season’s corset revival. Bridal corsets in 2026 aren't just about historical references—they’re being reimagined with fluid lines, semi-sheer panels, and intricate detailing that elevate their appeal.
Our signature satin corsets combine structure with sensuality, creating a flattering, powerful silhouette that works across ceremony, reception, and beyond. They can be styled with voluminous skirts for drama or tailored trousers for an elegant, unexpected twist.
Bridalwear is evolving—and so are the women wearing it.
Freedom to style your own moment.
Bridal Separates
2026 brides are opting for mix-and-match outfits that let them express their individuality. Bridal separates give brides the ability to curate different looks for each wedding event whether it’s the ceremony, reception, or day-after brunch.
From structured bridal tops and flowing skirts to tailored trousers and layered minis, bridal separates give you versatility and re-wearability without compromising style. They also offer the freedom to highlight your favorite features and mix textures or shapes for a look that feels bold and personal.
Volume, but make it playful.
Bubble Skirts
This nostalgic yet fresh silhouette is back with a modern twist. Bubble skirts add a playful kind of volume to bridalwear, softening the structure of corsets or cropped tops with round, airy fullness.
At TEMPÊTE, we love pairing bubble skirts with sleek tops or corsets for a fashion-forward after-party look or bold city hall moment. It’s a statement piece that’s youthful, confident, and surprisingly easy to style for different bridal moments.
Romantic with an edge.
Lace Veils
Delicate lace is reappearing in veils, but with unexpected shapes, placements, and pairings. Modern lace veils embrace asymmetry, scattered floral patterns, and combinations of sheer tulle with intricate embroidery.
Lace veils offer softness and storytelling without the heaviness of traditional styles. They pair beautifully with both minimal gowns and bold separates adding a sense of history, femininity, and texture to the final look.
Drama, dimension, and movement.
Statement Capes
Capes are no longer an accessory - they’re the moment. This year, capes are coming in strong with dramatic trains, structured shoulders, and unexpected materials like organza and embroidered mesh.
From sweeping tulle layers to structured, editorial shapes, capes are replacing or layering over veils to add instant impact. Our coverups are made to complement separates and add texture and storytelling to any bridal look. They allow for movement, mood, and transformation throughout the wedding day.
Movement that makes you look twice.
Fringe Details
Fringe is one of 2026’s most joyful returns, bringing texture, rhythm, and a playful attitude to bridalwear. It’s appearing in thoughtful, elevated ways from barely - there fringe along glove hems to bold layers that dance with you.
At TEMPÊTE, we use fringe sparingly but impactfully on accessories, skirts, and layering pieces. It’s for the bride who loves a little drama and doesn’t take herself too seriously. It catches light, flutters in photos, and adds an irresistible sense of movement to every moment.
