House of Gilles 2027 Spring Wedding Dress
The Spring/Summer 2027 collections seemed to reflect an overall consensus between the designers; reinterpret what “romance” means to them while prioritizing who their bride is, and not necessarily what she wears. This approach created an impressive depth of styles within each collection to choose from, allowing brides ample opportunities to deeply connect with the gown of their choosing. It also seemed to shake up even the most traditional brands, creating fun, unexpected moments, and giving everyone a chance to reset and refresh. And while romance and a woman’s sense of self seemed to anchor the overall influence for this season’s designs, trends within these constructions began to take shape, primarily through the usage of similar silhouettes, techniques and fabric choices.
For one, the Renaissance era was often recalled as the inspiration that drove the overall design process for many brands this season, retelling a time of aristocratic estates and Shakespearean performances. A time when corsets weren’t hidden but celebrated. Where curved Basque waists, hand-sculpted embellishments and bustled ballgowns created exaggerated silhouettes, accentuating a woman’s curves creating many regal moments.
In addition, there was frequently a goal to fuse hard and soft design elements together, balancing the organic with architecture, structure with sentiment. Where delicately hand-beaded lace was fastened to sculpted bodices and heavily brocaded corsets were balanced with the fluidity of Grecian draping.
Overall, Spring/Summer 2027 delivered everything a bride could want and more. Whether it was a crystal encrusted mini, a billowing ballgown or even a combination of the two, designers ensured that all of the different versions of their bride, no matter their personal style, will be sure to find something they adore.

Elie Saab
Elie Saab presented a "gallery of living portraits “for Spring/Summer 2027. A series of dynamic moments reflected throughout a collection of regal gowns; sculpted, draped and molded to perfection. It was a beautiful interpretation of Tableaux Vivants, where the cast shadows of the silhouettes created their own atmosphere and highlighted the exquisite work that went into the making of each gown. These one-of-a-kind moments focused on the individuality of the bride and the collection provided a broad range of styles for brides to choose from.

It’s a trip to Verona for Zuhair Murad this season, infusing its majestic heritage into every aspect of their Spring/Summer 2027 collection.

In this case however, they were reinterpreted through Lahav and Sever’s eye, resulting in a range of dramatic and sexy silhouettes ultimately suited for the confident bride who knows, (and owns), who she is.
Ines Di Santo
Ines Di Santo took to the Impressionist movement - specifically Claude Monet’s most famous works of art - for inspiration this season, aligning with many designers in an exploration of texture for SS27. The strong emphasis on architectural construction, delicate interplay of light and movement, and quiet contrast between embroidery and appliqués, exemplified Ines’ extensive experience as someone who has spent decades at the helm of couture bridal design. Subtle, yet layered with dimension, the gowns reflect an impressionist’s skill at composing a piece that juxtaposes itself yet continuously reveals new details the longer you admire it.

Artisanal precision and refined estate elegance defined WONÁ’s collection for Spring/Summer 2027. Appropriately titled ‘Heritage Edition’, the designs showcased the elevated craftsmanship we expect from the atelier, this time, paying tribute to an era when elegance was instinctive and expressed through ritual and posture. Leaning into the trend of combining hard and soft elements together, their architectural framework was made malleable by the rest of the design - the fluidity of each drape, the delicateness of Chantilly lace, sweeping voluminous trains and refined ivory tones. With a nod to some of the most notable female characters from 19th century literature, their influence injected a powerful yet polished energy into each gown, an energy WONÁ’s brides are sure to epitomize when wearing their chosen look.
NARDOS
NARDOS spent their 10th anniversary celebrating in The Rainbow Room, honoring the hands, heritage and vision behind each gown the house has sculpted.

A lattice patterned halter gown - a silhouette seen often throughout this season’s collections - proved to be a crowd favorite while a live draping of two gowns by Nardos herself displayed the intentionality and skill that allowed her to turn all her brides into living works of art.
SAREH NOURI
"Persian Muse” is a deeply personal collection to Sareh Nouri, representing a reflection of where she comes from and a tribute to the women who shaped her, rising and carrying both strength and softness in an effortless manner.

For Viktor&Rolf, Spring/Summer 2027 was about creating powerful silhouettes, giving their take on the push and pull that structure and sentiment can have and how beautiful the result can be when executed flawlessly together.
