With so many exciting creative director debuts this season, Haute Couture Spring 2026 is bringing a lot of attention to Paris. While admiring the beautiful works of sartorial art on the catwalk, it was hard to ignore the strong influence of bridal fashion on many collections. Not only do we see finale brides at many shows, but there are many other pieces that are absolutely perfect for a wedding wardrobe—from a show-stopping gown for the ceremony to a suit that can be worn to the rehearsal dinner or afterparty.
The acclaimed new Dior collection by Jonathan Anderson impresses with its sculptural designs, perfect for the avant-garde bride, while Gaurav Gupta has created a range of dreamy looks for the more whimsical bride-to-be. Tamara Ralph, in particular, launched a collection that was almost entirely bridal, thanks to the numerous designs En Blanc This may wear down the aisles.
While a lucky few can purchase these couture garments for their own celebrations, they also provide plenty of inspiration for those looking for what to wear on their wedding day. Next, let’s take a look at some of our favorite bridal picks from the Spring 2026 Couture shows.
