Attention, fall 2025 brides! The latest beauty and accessory trends are sure to make your special day unforgettable. But why wait until next year? These stunning looks can elevate any bride’s style, no matter the season.
Fashion Reverie highlights the most talked about collections from this season’s bridal shows to inspire your wedding day look.
Ines Di Santo
Ines Di Santo’s fall 2025 bridal collection is a romantic celebration of textures and colors. “I see each garment as a living painting,” Di Santo explains. “Every fold, every movement, becomes a brushstroke. I aimed to evoke the same visceral emotion you feel when gazing at a Renaissance masterpiece—timeless yet full of life.”
The collection features a variety of gowns, such as a blush and lilac floral ballgown with a feather cape, a blue floral skirt with a strapless lace bodice, and a textured white drop-waist gown. There are even shorter and tea length options for brides ready to dance the night away. The collection showcased lots of pops of color with accessories playing a crucial role.
Ines partnered once again with Bobbi Brown for a soft, blush-focused makeup look. Global pro artist Cassandra Garcia utilized Pot Rouge in ‘Velvet Plum’ and ‘Pale Pink’ to create a flushed and natural glow. “Pot Rouge is essential because you can easily touch it up throughout the day … and you can use it on your cheeks and lips,” Garcia notes also sharing how she loves the cream base as it’s perfect for blending. Models also wore No Smudge Mascara, Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in ‘Cinnamon’ and ‘Golden Pink,’ and Extra Plump Lip Serum in ‘Bare Pink’ pressed into their lips for a soft, stain-like glow.
Pnina Tornai
For the bride who wants to stand out, Pnina Tornai’s collection features eye-catching pieces like Chantilly lace bodysuits with long gathered sleeves, a mock-neck fit-and-flare gown adorned with beaded floral lace, and a climbing rose jacquard ball gown with a high collar. This extravagant collection is brimming with embellishments, including mirror crystals, opals, pearls, flowers, ruffles and glittering bows.
Tornai’s styling included a variety of gloves, such as sheer illusion gloves with water crystal raindrops, lace ruffle gloves with silk organza bows, and a pair of black crystal-embellished lace ones. Hand-painted veils adorned with feather butterflies, an ostrich feather stole, and a crystal birdcage veil added extra flair. As for the jewelry, Pnina Tornai and Jared the Galleria of Jewelry teamed up on a collection of gorgeous pieces that caught the light and made each bride sparkle.
To enhance each bride’s natural radiance, the team at Beautini created what they described as “a soft, dewy skin, makeup look.” The Beautini team shares, “As Pnina Tornai herself said it best, this collection and look was inspired by light, spreading light, and shining your light on the world so love prevails. This skin-forward style focuses on highlighting the cheekbones and skin with hydrating skincare, dewy face coverage and highlighter applied to the cheekbones and brows to create a clean, glowy look.”
In terms of bridal trends, the team shared that they are seeing more “natural looks that enhance your features, paired with slick backed updos that shift the focus to the bride’s natural beauty” which happens to mirror the trends seen at this past New York Fashion Week (NYFW). To look your best on your wedding day the team shares some tips, “We recommend prioritizing hydration! Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from within, apply your everyday face cream, and use Beia’s Daily Hydrating & Setting Mist to help de-puff and hydrate the skin before the makeup is applied. We also loved using Patrick Ta’s Blush Duo for a soft and natural blushy look.”
NARDOS
NARDOS embodies timeless elegance with a vintage-inspired collection showcased at their Madison Avenue store. Accessories were minimal and mostly included for styling versatility, such as a high-neck cape-like topper on a flowing Moonstone hand-embroidered gown, a halter neckline with a detachable topper (for versatility with styling) over a drop waist Chantilly and Lyon lace gown adorned with intricate floral patterns, and a delicate veil over a fitted floral gown with a sheer train.
Most jewelry was understated, focusing attention on the gowns. Hair was styled in slightly messy romantic updos with a delicate braid, complemented by strong brows, slightly smoked out eyes on the outer corners, false lashes, and a touch of pink blush for a natural, yet glamorous feel. The perfect transition from the more glamorous looks to this upcoming season’s more natural trend. Proving you can have the best of both worlds and look amazing at the same time!
For brides seeking a modern aesthetic, consider incorporating glamorous accessories in vibrant colors, or playful jeweled touches. Embrace your own beauty with simple hairstyles that keep your hair off of your face (and showing off the back of the gown) and soft, minimal makeup with a touch of blush that really highlights your best features while letting your natural complexion shine through.
