Romance is in the air, and design elements that evoke that same sentiment are guiding wedding gown styles. Lace, bows and delicate detailing are trending in bridal fashion, and for a day all about love, these design details add even more allure.

“Romantic elements continue to be one of the most sought-after details in today’s wedding gowns, as brides look for designs that feel both timeless and emotionally expressive,” says Bustle operations and social media manager Gabrielle Godbery. “Soft textures, delicate detailing and dimensional lace all contribute to that unmistakable sense of romance.”

“And don’t forget the charming details,” notes Bridal Boutique store manager Robin Gilley. “Bows and pearls add just the right amount of flair, resulting in dresses that feel both trendy and romantic.”
