As we head into 2026, wedding style is evolving; blending moody romance, bold individuality, and elevated design in ways that perfectly sync with the Ros&Co vibe. From daring color palettes to immersive experiences and statement-making gowns, these trends are shaping the weddings we’re most excited to design.

1. Fashion-forward & editorial bridal style

Soft, romantic lace + modern silhouette. Lace is making a major comeback, but reimagined. Think ethereal, cloud-light overlays, sheer panels, delicate floral appliqué or light Chantilly lace that moves beautifully on camera. Vogue Vocal

Capes, detachable layers, and dramatic veils. Bridal capes: from sheer tulle to structured satin and double-tiered or hooded veils are trending as chic alternatives (or complements) to traditional gowns. Detachable sleeves or overskirts let brides shift from ceremony drama to reception ease. Vogue Vocal+1
Sculptural silhouettes and two-piece sets. 2026 is all about shape and originality: peplum waists, exaggerated hips, corsetry-inspired bodices paired with flowing skirts or even bridal separates (like crop tops + skirts) for a modern, fashion-editorial feel. Vogue Vocal+2KC Studios Photography+2

For couples drawn to bold, moody, and slightly off-beat bridal style (hello, your aesthetic 😉) these options offer real opportunities to merge editorial glamour with personalized identity.

2. A bold new approach to colors, textures & decor

Rich moody palettes + bold accents. 2026 moves beyond soft pastels: think deep terracotta, forest green, muted jade, moody greys, burgundy, espresso and even chartreuse or jewel-toned pops for contrast. WedLuxe Media+2laurianevega.com+2

Drapery, texture & layered materials everywhere. From ceilings and tables to lounge areas and installations — couples are embracing draped fabrics, velvet, layered linens, mixed materials. The result: spaces that feel immersive, intentional, and tactile rather than staged. studiogail.co+2Buzz+2
Bold, sculptural florals & statement installations. Florals are transforming into art: hanging arrangements, asymmetrical statements, wild-meets-refined bouquets, even unexpected elements like lotus pods or avant-garde shapes. Floral artistry has never been more central. THEWED+1

For a planner like Ros&Co (with a love for moody, modern, and artful weddings) these trends are basically a dream.

3. Immersive experiences & hyper-personal weddings

Multi-day celebrations & experience-driven weddings. Couples increasingly favor weekend-long celebrations - welcome dinners, pre-wedding events, brunches - turning the wedding into a full experience rather than a single day. KC Studios Photography+2Who What Wear+2

Hyper-personal details & bespoke touches. From custom stationery and monogrammed decor to signature cocktails named for pets, or unique welcome gifts, weddings are becoming deeply personal narratives. Ruxene+1
Guest-focused design & comfort-forward planning. Guests’ comfort and experience matter: cozy lounge zones, interactive food or drink stations, relaxation corners, thoughtful flow — weddings are becoming as much about feeling as about looks. Ruxene+1

These elements make your wedding unique and ensure your guests have unforgettable memories.

4. Wedding style meets sustainability & nostalgia

Eco-conscious celebrations are rising. Couples are opting for locally-sourced florals, minimal waste stationery, reusables, and ethically mindful decor. It's a trend that reads as both elegant and responsible. laurianevega.com+1
Vintage glam & reinterpretations of nostalgia. Expect nods to vintage cinema, Old Hollywood, and classic romance but with modern reinterpretation: romantic drapery, soft metallics (champagne, bronze), satin or velvet textures, and subtle heritage-inspired details. SampleBoard+1

5. Photography & storytelling - not just a wedding, but an experience

The shift toward authenticity over perfection is real: couples want their weddings captured like stories — full of emotion, candid moments, spontaneous laughter. Documentary-style photography, intimate guest interactions, candid first-dance photos, and “moments, not poses” are gaining traction. celestejusticephotography.com+1
