In this first part or a two part series, we are highlighting three of the biggest Spring and Summer 2027 wedding dress trends from New York Bridal Fashion Week, including bold florals, subtle color, and romantic ruffles that are already making their way into bridal shops.
Spring Summer 2027 bridal fashion trends just debuted, and truly, this was one of the most exciting bridal fashion weeks we have seen in a long time. There is so much newness for brides right now, from romantic textures to fresh takes on classic silhouettes, and we are already seeing how these trends will influence what brides are asking for in-store.
At The White Dress by the Shore in Clinton, CT, we stay closely connected to Bridal Fashion Week so we can bring the most current and beautiful wedding dresses to our brides across New England and beyond. In this first part of our Spring and Summer 2027 trend recap, we are highlighting three standout bridal fashion trends you will be seeing everywhere: large scale florals, a touch of color, and ruffles.
The overall mood this season is incredibly feminine. Think full skirts, soft movement, romantic details, and wedding dresses that feel both timeless and fresh at the same time. If you love classic bridal style but still want something that feels current, you are going to love what is ahead.
Do not miss Part 2 coming after this, where we share even more bridal fashion trends that came down the aisle, errr we mean runway this season, including modern yet modest dresses, dresses with peplums, modern bridal cover ups and the return of the mantilla bridal veil.
Let's dive into Part 1 of our top three newest bridal fashion trends that brides shopping for a dream dress will start to see popping up in bridal shops so very soon (Be sure to check out Part 2 of this series on the top bridal trends from New York Bridal Fashion Week)...
Trend #1: Large Scale Floral Wedding Dresses
Large scale floral wedding dresses are having a major moment for Spring Summer 2027, and this is one of the most exciting updates to traditional bridal design.
Instead of delicate, barely-there floral details, designers are embracing bold floral patterns, oversized appliques, and textured blooms that feel dimensional and eye-catching. These floral wedding dresses create movement and visual interest, especially on fuller skirts and layered tulle silhouettes.
For brides planning a spring or summer wedding, this trend feels especially fitting. It brings a fresh, romantic energy to your bridal look while still feeling elevated and fashion forward. We are seeing floral wedding dresses that range from soft and ethereal to dramatic and statement-making, which means there is something for every type of bride.
Here are some of our favorite large scale floral wedding dresses from the runway that truly bring this trend to life...

Trend #2: Touch of Color in Wedding Dresses
A touch of color in wedding dresses was another standout trend this season, and it is such a beautiful way to personalize your bridal look.
The bridal designers introduced soft pastels, subtle blush tones, and even hints of blue woven into wedding dress fabrics, embroidery, and layering.
These color details are not overwhelming by any means. Instead, they feel delicate and intentional, adding depth without taking away from the classic bridal feel.
For brides who want something a little different while still feeling timeless, this is a perfect option. A wedding dress with a touch of color allows you to stand out in a subtle, sophisticated way while still feeling like a bride.
Here are a few of our favorite wedding dresses with a touch of color that show how subtle and beautiful this trend can be...

Trend #3: Ruffles in Wedding Dresses
Ruffles in wedding dresses are back, and they are softer, more romantic, and more wearable than ever.
This is not about overly dramatic or heavy ruffles. Instead, the bridal designers are using layers of airy fabric to create movement, texture, and a sense of lightness. We are seeing ruffles along skirts, cascading down trains, and incorporated into sleeves and bodices.
Ruffles add dimension and softness to a bridal gown, making them a beautiful choice for brides who want a romantic, feminine look. Whether it is a full ruffled skirt or a subtle detail, this trend brings a sense of effortless movement that photographs beautifully.
Here are some of our favorite ruffle wedding dresses that capture the softness and movement of this trend so beautifully...
