If you are a bride who wants a dramatic wedding day look, you might think that you have to settle for a classic ball gown wedding dress. But what if you were dreaming of a more fitted silhouette and still want the drama? Here at Lovella Bridal, we love searching for the latest and greatest new wedding dress and bridal fashion designs to help our brides stay on trend when wedding dress shopping. This trend is perfect for the bride who loves the idea of a dramatic entrance but doesn’t want the traditional ball gown feel. These gowns offer just as much wow-factor, with a more tailored and contemporary twist.
Back in the spring, we had the honor of attending New York Bridal Fashion Week and one of the trending wedding dress styles we can't stop thinking about is bridal gowns with full skirts. We've recently shared inspiration for dramatic ball gown wedding dresses, but this particular trend focuses on more fitted wedding gowns with full skirts and long trains.
Wedding Dresses With Full Skirts
While ball gowns have long been a favorite for brides wanting a fairytale moment, we’re seeing a fresh take on volume that’s all about mixing drama with sleek, modern silhouettes.
Designers are now pairing more fitted bodices, think mermaid and fit-to-flare styles, with full, voluminous skirts and ultra-long trains. The result? A bold, high-fashion look that gives you the best of both worlds: a figure-hugging shape that flares out into show-stopping volume. Whether you love lace, clean crepe, or all-over sparkle, we’re seeing this silhouette show up in a variety of fabrications and finishes from many of our favorite designers. If you're looking for something unexpected yet ultra-glamorous, a fitted gown with a full skirt might just be your dream dress.
Let's take a look at a few of our favorite fitted wedding dresses with full skirts from New York Bridal Fashion Week Spring 2025.
