From the moment one announces their engagement, life becomes a matter of questions, choices, decisions: bridesmaids, venue, cake, flowers. Chief among them is the wedding dress, which must (no pressure here) be both the pinnacle of the bride’s personal style while transforming her into an unrecognizably Botticelli-esque peak princess look. So it’s no surprise that the process of finding the right clothes can be just as tiring as finding the right spouse.
Fashion journalist Katherine Ormerod tried on an impressive 120 dresses before getting married in 2024. She added, “The truth is, no matter how brave you are, a wedding dress is that fabulous mix of tulle and taffeta that’s supposed to embody the essence of your style while still making you look your best, but that’s a complete disservice.” She memorably tried on 120 dresses before her wedding in 2024. You’ve had a hot dinner. ” But what better place to turn to for advice than Ormerod and her peers? Here are eight stylish brides wearing their 2025 wedding dresses.

Fashion editor Eniola Dare hosted her wedding weekend celebrations back-to-back at Casterton Farm in Cumbria. For her first traditional Nigerian ceremony, she chose a chocolate brown sculptural dress designed in collaboration with Couture by Tabik and Woven Market Africa. For her second Western-style wedding, she chose a sinuous beaded jersey gown from Standing Ground. “I send a message [designer Michael Stewart] In January 2024, he responded within minutes. ” said the stylist, adding that the starting point for the design was look No. 11 from the brand’s spring 2025 collection, which she didn’t try on until about a month before the wedding. I loved his vision and I loved what he did,” she said. “It fit like a glove.”
