When it comes to bridal brands who understand how to pull from the past while injecting innovative modern techniques and craftsmanship, the inimitable Mark Ingram is without parallel. And his fall bridal 2025 demonstrates Ingram’s genius at combining vintage silhouettes with an injection of modernity.
While some bridal designers approach the marriage of classic silhouettes and modern innovations with trepidation, this blend has become a part of Mark Ingram’s design DNA. Inspired by the women in his life, namely his mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Ingram infused these women’s elegance and charm that paid homage to those classic bridal silhouettes of the 1940s and 1950s.
While this fall 2026 collection harkens back to classic bridal silhouettes of the 1940s and the 1950s, Ingram’s modern interpretation of classicism transforms this collection that evokes emotion and a sense of nostalgia. Modern consumers will possess timeless garments that a fresh and current and meet the needs of modern consumers.
Some of the modern touches that Ingram employs in the fall 2026 collection is the architectural approach to several of the garments. And this architectural approach is applied with lightness that promotes ease of movement. There is also sustainability assets in this collection reflected in recycled glass beading and not letting any of the extra materials go to waste.
Vintage elements include Dior dotted bustline and many off-the-shoulder bridal garment that was so indicative of the ‘va va voom’ aesthetic found in 50s silhouettes. That said, the vintage elements don’t just start and stop with those elements. Each element is combined with some modern touches that can entice modern consumers.
