Wedding Gowns
“Bridal trends for 2025 and beyond are all about romantic drama or effortless minimalism.”
“Basque waists are making a comeback, along with oversized statement bows, intricate floral appliqués, and pearl or crystal embellishments. But there’s always a classic bride who loves timeless silhouettes with elegant and elevated details.”
Jordan McKenzie; Le Sel Bridal, Somers; (914) 987-0564
Flowers
“Sustainability and bold aesthetics are the big floral trends.”
“Eco-conscious brides are choosing locally sourced and seasonal varieties, while oversized blooms, wildflowers, nature-inspired installations, and organic, untamed shapes are very popular. Plus, earthy tones and vintage-inspired styles are merging for a nostalgic-meets-modern aesthetic; think bold, dramatic roses paired with a modern floral monogrammed tablecloth.”
Allison Newell; June Farm Flowers, North Salem; (410) 299-7389
Jewelry
“Platinum and yellow gold engagement rings are trending.”
“For diamonds, hidden halos, where a string of diamonds is wrapped underneath the center diamond, longer ovals, and longer marquees are very popular. And the classic solitaire is trending as well; it leaves the wedding band open for fancy shapes, alternating colors of sapphires and diamonds in platinum.”

Hair
“Brides are requesting a much more natural look for their big day.”
“We’re seeing a lot of beach waves and low buns, and many are adding extensions to lengthen their hair, add volume or just help hold the curl better. It’s always about creating a look that makes the bride feel the most comfortable, and we always recommend doing a trial.”
Madi Tiso-D’Aquanni; Hair Wharf, Katonah; (914) 232-7271
Skincare
“Brides are prioritizing their skincare, starting months in advance to address concerns like texture, fine lines and pigmentation.”
“They’re choosing in-office treatments like chemical peels, micro-needling and Botox, paired with custom at-home pharmaceutical-grade skincare routines. This ensures flawless makeup application and promotes radiant, flawless skin on their wedding day.”
Ashley Hatzidakis, MSN, APRN, FNP-C; Endless Beauty Aesthetics Medical Spa, Armonk; (914)-290-9849
Music
“Couples don’t want to micromanage or stress about the music; they just want to enjoy their party.”
“They’ll give us 5-10 songs or artists they like, then our DJs will handle the rest. And when it comes to the after party, more and more couples request karaoke, even for very formal events.”
David Swirsky; Expressway Music, White Plains & Manhattan; (914) 370-2333 & (212) 953-9367
Bespoke Alterations
“Now more than ever, brides are bringing in beautiful heirloom pieces that have been in their family for generations.”
“Often, they think the item is too far gone, so it’s such a joy to give these treasured garments new life by restoring, redesigning and adjusting them to perfectly compliment the bride’s body and personal style.”
