What are the current wedding dress trends?
A wedding-dress trend is a recurring silhouette, fabric, or detail brides are searching for right now — and every one of these looks hangs on the racks here, not just on a mood board. Start with the trend that matches your vision:
- Boho — relaxed lace, sheer panels, and easy movement for the free-spirited or outdoor bride.
- Basque Waist — a V-dropped waistline that lengthens the torso and defines the figure.
- Corset Bodices — structured boning that sculpts and supports the waist.
- Pearls — pearl beading and buttons for a quietly elevated, classic-with-a-twist look.
- Minimalist — clean lines in sleek crepe and satin for the modern, understated bride.
- Draped & Ruched — soft gathered fabric that skims and flatters, movement over structure.
- Royal-Inspired — regal, princess-style drama and coverage, the look every royal wedding revives.
- Short & Midi — above-the-floor lengths for the reception, courthouse, or second look.
Not sure which is which? A senior bridal consultant will walk you through the differences in person — no closer or cheaper shop can put all eight looks in your hands the same afternoon. Book an appointment to compare them.
How to choose a trend that suits you
The right trend is the one that fits your body, your venue, and how you want to move — a basque waist lengthens a petite frame, boho suits a relaxed or outdoor setting, a corset bodice adds structure and support, and minimalist crepe reads modern for a city or courthouse ceremony. There is no wrong choice, only the one that photographs like you.
Because every gown is altered in-house, a trend you love is fitted to you rather than the other way around — the details that make a look yours are our seamstresses’ work, not an outside tailor’s. Try a few directions with a consultant and let the mirror decide. Book an appointment.

Wedding dress trend FAQs
What are the most popular wedding dress trends right now?
The looks brides ask for most are boho, basque waist, corset bodices, pearls, minimalist crepe, draped and ruched, royal-inspired, and short or midi lengths. Each has its own page here, and all of them can be tried on in one appointment at our Greenville, SC store rather than pieced together across sites.
How do I choose a wedding dress trend that suits me?
Start with your venue, your body, and how you want to move. A basque waist lengthens the frame, boho suits relaxed or outdoor weddings, corset bodices add structure, and minimalist styles read modern and understated. A senior bridal consultant will narrow the trends to the few worth trying on you.
Can a trend gown be altered to fit me?
Yes. Every gown is ordered in your best-fit size from the designer’s own size chart and then altered in-house, so a trend you love is tailored to you rather than bought off the rack. Fit questions — a corset taken in, a hem shortened, straps added — are handled by our own seamstresses.
Will a trend gown still look timeless in my photos?
The trends that last are built on classic bones — a clean silhouette, quality fabric, a detail that flatters you rather than dates you. A consultant helps you tell a lasting look from a fleeting one, so the gown reads as beautifully in ten years as it does on the day.
Can I try these trending looks on in Greenville, SC?
Yes. All of these trends are on the floor at Dimitra Designs in Greenville, SC, with 1,000+ wedding gowns to compare in person. Book an appointment and a consultant will pull the looks that match your vision so you can see them on, side by side, before you decide.
