2026 Wedding Trends

Boho bridal has returned, but not as you once knew it. Once easily identified by pampas and woven textures, now takes on a luxury lens with a nod to nostalgic, cool-girl style. Think artisanal details, lace-edged veils, fashion-forward headwear, intricate embroidery and decor, all elements that nod to the past while remaining distinctively modern. Dreamy layers, tactile fabrics and ultra-feminine details take the spotlight, creating a look that’s as effortless as it is expressive. Whimsical bridal looks paired with pieces like the Leo Headscarf or Alchemy Veil reflect the free-spirited romantic but reimagined for now.  

Gone are the days of plated perfection. 2026 is all about shared-style dining and food that tells a story. Couples are opting for long-table feasts, interactive food stations, and live cooking experiences that spark conversation and connection. From food trucks and monogrammed desserts to late-night burgers and fries, it’s about embracing what you actually love. Weddings are becoming more relaxed, joyful and infinitely more personal, where food isn’t just served, it’s celebrated and memorable for years to come. 

If 2026 had a theme, it would be personalisation with purpose. Every design detail, from bespoke stationery to thoughtful keepsakes, is being curated to tell the couple’s story. Brides are weaving in meaningful motifs, heirloom touches, and decor that reflects their shared history. It’s less about following trends and more about creating a visual narrative that feels deeply, authentically theirs. The result? Weddings that resonate, layered with love, intention and personality. 

The modern wedding celebration no longer fits into a single day. Multi-day celebrations are redefining how couples say, “I do”, transforming the experience into a weekend (or week) of quality time together. Think welcome dinners beneath the stars, barefoot recovery brunches, and rehearsal parties that set the tone for what’s to come. These unhurried celebrations are curated for presence and to deepen the guest experience. Shop our wedding occasion collection to find bridal dresses for every moment, from the engagement party to the recovery day. 

This year’s bridal shoes are anything but predictable. Sheer mesh and embroidered lace bring dimension while keeping silhouettes light and romantic. Disco-inspired finishes and bold floral embellishments prove that glamour remains timeless, while crochet textures add a bohemian softness. Brides are embracing versatility, stepping into flats, low heels, and sculptural designs that make a statement without sacrificing comfort.  

Wedding desserts are entering their couture era. Expect sugar lace, intricate piping and textures inspired by bridal fabrics, turning cakes into sculptural works of art. In 2026, couples are also being inspired by the personal keepsakes, from bridal shoes to engagement ring boxes, creating cakes that are as meaningful as they are visually impactful.  

Eco-conscious choices are no longer a bonus; they are becoming the baseline of 2026 weddings. From locally sourced florals and upcycled décor to rewearable bridal looks and detachable gown elements, sustainability is being considered to have timeless value. 2026 sees couples choosing intentionally, reducing waste, supporting locals, and investing in pieces designed to last. At Grace, sustainability has always been at the heart of everything we do - it is a constant and intentional factor that we consider in our everyday choices. 

Step aside blush and beige - teal is taking the spotlight. Rich, refined, and quietly bold, this colour marks a return to depth and sophistication in bridal styling. Bridesmaids are embracing shades of green, emerald, and teal, all tones that feel both nostalgic and modern. Whether styled monochromatically or mixed for contrast, this palette creates a visually dynamic moment that feels curated yet effortless.
