If you’re at least slightly into what’s going on it the fashion world, chances are you’ve probably registered the overall rising trend of the 90s era comeback. And no surprises, it has reached the world of bridal fashion too.

Following the New York Bridal Fashion Week, which took place just last week, a few significant 90s-inspired trends have popped-up. Let’s break them down together.

• Dropped waists

Among the first and probably the most widely seen 90s-like trend is a signature dropped waist. Low-waist dresses are a huge topic for the 2025 / 2026 wedding attire and we are starting to see more and more brides giving it a go.

And it’s no wonder why. This dress shape gives a stunning fitted look for the body and looks great with a full skirt as well as with a slightly looser type of gown.

• Capes

For the upcoming wedding season, capes are on the rise and we are ready to witness it. Anything to throw over the shoulders, let it be of a sheer fabric or made of pearls, a cape will instantly elevate any dress and will give you that goddess aesthetic.

P.S. – They work as a stunning detail for the wedding guests too.

•90s minimalism

Overall, we are seeing a lot of sleek, minimal dresses with simple silhouettes. But often, minimalism is the key to a timeless elegance, isn’t it?
