Excited to share the news with you that Grace Loves Lace is announcing their newest chic bridesmaid collection.

Global bridal atelier Grace Loves Lace is set to revolutionize the bridesmaid landscape with its highly anticipated collection, ‘On My Way!’. This landmark release, crafted from sumptuous, liquid-like satin, features five impeccably designed silhouettes in three distinct colorways—Champagne, Ice Blue, and the trending Espresso—guaranteed to make a statement.

Ziems says, “I wanted to offer our brides a simple solution for their bridesmaids, that extends beyond their big day. We know that style defines each of us and a wedding day should be no different. With that in mind, the team and I curated 15 new styles to cater to their personal style and body shape that are also timeless and classic, so won’t date.”

Randy Fenolis top wedding dress tips

1. Know your budget.
Know the most that you're willing to spend before you even step foot into a salon. Inflating your budget and putting everyone on the spot will just leave you empty-handed. One bride from our Say Yes episode, Julie, made the assumption that her father would pay for any dress she chose. She selected a gorgeous $7,000 Lazaro gown, but Dad refused to pay for it. Heartbroken, she turned to Randy for help, and lucky for her, he found a suitable replacement. Good bridal stores will ask in advance what your budget is, but if they don't, make sure that you let them know.

2. It's OK to love the first dress.
Randy sees this happen all the time. He tells brides that if they trust themselves, everyone else will fall in love with that first dress, too. A great bridal consultant will place you in a dress that accentuates your best features. You'll know that a gown is "The One" when you compare every other one to it.

3. Know your silhouette.
Trying on the wrong silhouette can cause any bride to be discouraged. Wedding gowns look different on models in a magazine than they do on real brides, so go with what's most flattering for you. One bride, Kate, had an amazing curvy figure. She considered a fit-and-flare gown, but it made her hips look too wide. Instead, Randy pulled a fabulous silk gown with an Empire waist. It gave her some forgiveness in the hip, but still created that princess look she secretly wanted. It was just perfect!

4. Be open to alterations.
I would argue that many brides aren't informed enough when it comes to their alterations. Include the cost in your total budget and keep in mind that the dress you select will evolve dramatically from start to finish. I always say that a bride falls deeper in love with her gown the closer that it is to completion. There's many steps throughout the process: the initial "yes!" moment, the day it comes into the store, the first fitting, and then the finished creation.

5. Be open to different styles.
I can't tell you how many times a bride comes in for her first fitting, and says, "I would have never pulled this dress off the hanger, but you insisted, and I finally listened." Even with years of experience, it's always a challenge to help brides get to that "aha" moment. Keep your mind open, and you just might surprise yourself.

Bouquet Baskets

One of the more practical yet unique trends for 2025 is the use of bouquet baskets. These baskets not only offer a unique way to carry flowers but also add a rustic touch to the ceremony.
Bouquet baskets are easier to handle and can be repurposed as home decor after the wedding. This trend is also catching on in everyday floral gifts, making it a versatile option for any occasion.

2025 trends we are seeing.

Personalization Everywhere

“In the ever-evolving landscape of wedding trends, one thing is becoming increasingly clear - the future of nuptials lies in the realm of personalization and intimacy. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter ceremonies and traditional expectations; instead, couples are opting for unique, non-traditional elements that truly reflect their personalities and love stories,” shared Anna Rodenbeck at WCO Events.
“One of the most significant shifts in wedding trends is the move towards non-traditional attire. In 2025, brides and grooms are breaking away from the confines of traditional wedding garb and embracing styles that speak to their individuality. From bold colors and unconventional silhouettes to casual, comfortable ensembles, couples are choosing attire that makes them feel like their most authentic selves on their special day.”

Bold Color
Next year, don’t always expect to see the bride dressed in white. Color was a common sight at presentations this season. Pastel pinks and blues created dreamy, whimsical touches to collections at Ines Di Santo and Honor, while Galia Lahav and Nadia Manjarrez offered designs in black for the gothic marrier. Many mini looks throughout collections also offered a touch of color for couples who want to forgo tradition after the ceremony.

Pants
Not all brides wear dresses—and many designers this season have created beautiful designs to reflect that. Standouts included a unique jumpsuit with a billowing overskirt at Viktor and Rolf and a sexy, lingerie-inspired short set that made waves at the Rime Arodaky runway show. Quite a few designers also offered pants as an option to swap with a full skirt beneath stylish bustiers to allow a more comfortable change later in the evening.
