This post will share some of the current trends and point you in the direction of where in Orlando you can find these gowns that might be part of your special day!

2025’s Wedding Dress Trends

Just like any other fashion, trends are always changing. I personally am loving the current blend of sophisticated and modern style as well as the rich textures:

Return of Classic Elegance: Think Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn known for their clean and timeless charm.
Rich Textures: Designers are incorporating intricate lace details into their designs to add depth and personality to dresses.
Statement Pieces: Oversized bows, intricate beadwork, and pops of color create something that stands out.
Minimalist Designs: Simple and stunning gowns that focus on flawless cuts and beauty.
Dramatic Sleeves: Just like in the fashion industry, billowed sleeves to sleek bell sleeves are everywhere!

Bridal Fashion Photography Showcase

As a wedding photographer, I have the privilege of capturing various bridal gowns that resonate with these trends. Below is a gallery showcasing some of these dresses:

Minimalist + Statement Pieces - This dress from Solutions Bridal Designer House has both gloves and a large bow to add a bit of drama to an otherwise simple gown. This style feels timeless and sophisticated.

Rich Textures - The lace and floral patterns give this dress a soft, vintage feel, while the fitted silhouette adds a modern touch.

Modern Minimalist - The clean lines and sophisticated silhouette give this dress a timeless look. It’s a beautiful example of understated elegance, it is both sophisticated and chic.

These are great examples of how your wedding dress says so much about you and adds to the story of your wedding day.

How to Choose Your Dress

Choosing the right dress isn’t just about following trends, it’s about finding a gown that shows off your personality and enhances your unique beauty.

Here are some tips:

Consider the Venue: The style of your venue should influence your dress choice. For example, a wedding on Clearwater Beach would call for a different style than a wedding at an estate house or ballroom. Your dress should suit the vibe of your venue, this will add even more life to the images captured sharing the story of your wedding day.
Stay True to Yourself: It is great to be aware of trends (and they will be in all of the dress shops), but it is just as important to remember that trends change! Find a dress that you feel beautiful and comfortable in. Not only will you be in this dress all day, but it will be in all of your photo memories for a lifetime.
