The air is still buzzing here at Bridal Atelier Montclair after the whirlwind of Bridal Market! For those of you who might not know, Bridal Market is where all the magic happens - designers debut their newest collections, and we get a front-row seat to hand-select the most stunning, innovative bridal gowns for our boutique.
Now that the dust has settled, we’re so excited to pull back the curtain and share a sneak peek at the trends that dominated the runway and will soon be gracing our rails. This season's collections were a beautiful blend of traditional romance and bold, modern structure. Here are the key trends that caught our eye and stole our hearts:
Two-Piece Wedding Dresses
Forget the traditional gown - the 2-piece dress is officially a major player! We saw stunning combinations of intricate tops paired with flowing skirts, offering brides a customizable, modern, and often more comfortable look. This trend is perfect for the bride who wants a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe, or even an easy outfit change for the reception.

Bridal Gowns With Peplums
The peplum is back, but with a fresh, contemporary twist. No longer stiff or overly formal, the new peplums are soft, sculptural, and strategically placed to add the most flattering dimension to the waistline. This trend brings an instant touch of architectural elegance to any silhouette, making the modern bride feel both fashion-forward and timeless.

Drop Waist Wedding Dresses
Get ready for some serious drama! The drop waist made a striking return, elongating the torso and creating a dramatic transition into a voluminous skirt. This silhouette is inherently chic and sophisticated, often seen paired with streamlined bodices to emphasize the beautiful line and sweep of the gown.

Architectural Skirts
We’re absolutely in love with the gowns that embrace architectural skirts. Think bold pleats, unexpected folds, and structural fabric manipulation that turns a wedding dress into a true piece of art. These skirts are for the bride who wants to make a statement - a confident, unforgettable entrance.

Lace Bridal Gowns
While lace is forever a bridal staple, the market showed us new ways to fall in love with it. We saw incredible textural complexity, from oversized floral appliques that popped in 3D to delicate, almost painterly patterns that felt airy and modern. The key takeaway is that lace is versatile, romantic, and ready to be seen in a whole new light.
