So, what bridal styles are captivating 2025 brides? We're glad you asked. Keep scrolling and we'll show you five of the most stunning wedding gown trends that our Montana brides are loving.

1. Ballgowns Are Back and More Breathtaking Than Ever

Hear us out. While bridal ballgowns of the past got some slack for their cupcake-esque look, today's ballgown designs are sleek and flatter a variety of body types. Many now feature drop waists (more on that in a sec) which allow for a stunning and seamless flow from bodice to skirt. Ballgowns can also feature gorgeous trains for the bride who wants to feel like a princess on her big day.

Here at Mimi's Bridal, we are proud to be the only bridal shop in the state of Montana which carries designer gowns by Randy Fenoli of Say Yes to the Dress. Randy's ballgowns feature drop waists, stunning bodices, and breathtaking trains. We have a feeling he's got something to do with 2025's hottest bridal trend. These gowns bring fairy-tale dreams to life while offering a modern twist on classic elegance. So before you say "no" to a ballgown, book an appointment with us to try some of the season's most stunning styles. Who knows, you might just fall in love. We definitely have!

2. Basque and Drop Waists for a Flattering Silhouette

Some of the fashion industry's most beloved bygone looks are making a strong comeback, with Basque and drop waist gowns taking center stage. The Basque waist, known for its fitted bodice that dips into a V-shape, creates a flattering, elongated look that flatters a variety of body types. Meanwhile, drop waist gowns highlight the hips and create a dramatic, sophisticated effect that beautifully blends classic and contemporary styles. These designs are perfect for brides seeking a unique yet timeless silhouette. They can be seen on any bridal silhouette but are especially popular on a-line and ballgown dresses.

3. Peaked Necklines for a Bold, Modern Look

Sharp, structured, and undeniably chic, peaked (or cat-eye) necklines are a fresh addition to bridal fashion in 2025. These angular necklines add an element of drama while accentuating the décolletage in a flattering way. Additionaly, they do a great job of hiding that outer-armpit area that often leaves brides feeling a bit self-conscious. We think the designer who came up with this trend deserves an award. Whether paired with minimalist satin or elegant lace, this neckline trend is lovely on each and every bride.

4. Corset Wedding Dresses for the Modern Princess

Brides looking for structure and romance will love the resurgence of corset wedding dresses. This trend enhances the natural figure while offering a stunning blend of vintage-inspired elegance paired with modern touches. From sheer boning details to lace-up backs, corset gowns bring a sense of eye-catching drama, sophistication, and impeccable fit to any bridal look.

5. Floral Appliqués and 3D Embellishments

This season's gowns feature stunning 3D florals that perfectly capture the beauty of Montana's breathtaking wildflowers. Expect to see delicate hand-sewn flowers, cascading petals, and botanical lace motifs adorning skirts, bodices, sleeves and veils, adding elegant yet whimsical texture to bridal fashion.

Bonus: Dramatic Sleeves and Statement Shoulders

We've seen this trend gaining momentum for the past couple years, and it's continuing to show itself in new and unique ways in 2025. From puff sleeves to detachable off-the-shoulder styles, sleeves are continuing to steal the show from the strapless wedding dress which previously led the bridal trends. Whether you love the idea of a romantic bishop sleeve, sleek long sleeves with illusion lace, or a detachable option for a two-in-one look, this trend adds elegance and personality to any gown.
