Short and Sweet
Less is more, at least when it comes to fabric. One of the upcoming year’s most sought-after styles is short and daringly confident: think flared A-line midis and sequin-embellished minis, all playing to this trend’s contemporary edge. Needless to say, we adore these bold styles and the unapologetic femininity they represent. Elongating your legs and keeping your wedding pick young and true to your personality, this trend is one to follow if your ceremony calls for something other than an ordinary fit.
The Mia La Vida Styling Tip
When the dress is short, much of the spotlight remains on the heels. Whether you’re taking the timeless Manolo route with blue satin, brooch-embellished pumps or going grungy with lace-up boots, make sure the shoes complement both the dress and your individuality.
Our Picks
A sleek halter style, rendered in satin with a lush sparkle.
An avant-garde masterpiece with rebellious finishes.
A simply stunning midi, full of ‘50s joy and lace embellishments.
Unveiled Romance
Goodbye long veils, welcome blushers, sleeves and all accessories sheer and glamorous. We’ve seen many brides replace the traditional veil with alternatives that are equally ethereal and modern, and 2025 is predicted to continue the trend. Besides letting your hair and makeup take center stage, our unique sleeves will create a decidedly contemporary look that goes best with minimalist venues. Without concealing your face, this trend places emphasis on the dress itself by adding the airy, sheer layers directly to the garment.

Custom Corseting
From Victorian keepsakes through to ‘70s rebellious lace-up basque tops to today’s contemporary corsets, this ultra-feminine style has lasting power like no other. Sophisticated and daring, it’s style that sculpts the silhouette and makes an endlessly memorable impression. Perfect for breaking up voluminous, fabric-heavy garments, corseting brings a divine touch to just about any dress, be it short or long, slinky or A-line. As it’s universally flattering, many of our brides end up choosing corseted gowns, and they never disappoint.
The Mia La Vida Styling Tip
What’s better than classic corseting? Corseting with intricate accents. We are firm believers that cascading flowers, ruffles and lace framing the corseted bodice make the gown all the more incredible (whilst directing all eyes to the collarbones and waistline).
Our Picks
The star of every show with its corseted bodice and sweeping train.
An ode to classic-contemporary bridal dressing.
Ruffled & Draped
There isn’t a better way to softly sculpt the figure than with clever draping and tactile ruffles. When placed at the waist or neckline, draping achieves an effortless hourglass figure, while ruffled and frilled hems create volume at all the right places. A play on textures and structures, these gathered accents provide the same, outstanding impact without taking attention away from the finer features such as lace or embroidery.
The Mia La Vida Styling Tip
Draw all the attention to these dramatic details with the right accessories, whether that’s a silk satin headscarf, floral tights or diamond earrings. Draping and ruffling’s delicate shapes and folds allow brides to go maximalist on the finishing touches without making the look too busy.
Our picks
Ethereal just like its name, Luna wedding dress charms with its draped front and handcrafted cape.
Pearl straps draw all eyes to the design’s beautifully draped neckline.
Alongside its lavish shine, Tia wedding dress also chams with its draped front and back.
Embellished & Enchanting
Set to catch the light and attention from all angles, sparkling bridal designs are alluring and simply unforgettable. In 2025, this trend gets a maximalist makeover with dresses shimmering top-to-toe. With an equal dose of lavish, fun-loving and decadent, sequin and beaded gowns are the antidote for 2024’s minimalism. They also make breathtaking party dresses, simply illuminating the dancefloor with their reflecting accents.
The Mia La Vida Styling Tip
Embellished garments lend themselves well to an elegant play on textures. Whether you opt for silk, satin, velvet or tulle fabrics, they’ll all beautifully soften your wedding dress without claiming the spotlight.
Our picks
A floor-sweeping classic, turned bold by thousands of embellishments.
Party perfection from the cowl cross-back to the dazzling sequins.
The ‘70s icon, reimagined for the most memorable ceremonies.
The Modern Londoner
Inspired by intimate London ceremonies and venues such as the Chelsea registry office, these modern styles are tailored, streamlined and left free of traditionally romantic details. Instead, they find femininity in flattering, closer fits that are especially dreamy against city backdrops. The best part? Not strictly designed for weddings, you can easily continue to make memories in these styles after your big day.
The Mia La Vida Styling Tip
Styling these silhouettes can be a bit of a balancing act, and we adore when our brides pair a suit or corset-and-trousers look with more traditional accents. Velvet pumps, oversized sunglasses, red lips…there are so many ways to imbue these outfits with that wedding-ready sleekness.
Our picks
Where understated and bold meet to create a modern bridal staple.
Sharp with a ladylike fit, Astrid is a flawless pair.
The traditional blazer with an asymmetric twist.
