The runway shows at Bridal Week Harrogate 2025 once again proved why this event is a cornerstone of the international bridal calendar. Across two dazzling days, the catwalk brought together established labels and exciting new talent, offering boutiques and buyers an exclusive first look at the creativity driving the industry forward.

From timeless classics to bold, contemporary statements, the shows highlighted the incredible diversity of today’s bridalwear. Designers including Dando London, Lore, Shane Moore, Ellis Bridals, Elegancia, Lia Bella, Ricca Sposa, Richard Designs, Darla Haute Couture, EDit Veils, Nataliya Vilchuk, Isabell Kristensen, Josephine Scott and Rachel Allan Bridal wowed audiences with a mix of intricate detailing, striking silhouettes, and showstopping finishes.

Partners and sponsors played a key role in bringing the visions to life, with shoes and veils by The Perfect Bridal Company, headpieces and jewellery from Jupon & Poirier, steamers by Propress, and hair and makeup by the talented MG Hair and Makeup team.

For retailers, the runway was more than a spectacle - it was a vital buying tool and trend barometer. Boutiques could spot the silhouettes, fabrics, and finishing touches that are set to resonate with brides in 2025 and beyond. We don’t want to give too much away, but some key trends we spotted on this year’s runway included a revival of intricate lace, playful bubble hems, elegant Grecian draping, exaggerated hips and a nostalgic nod to bridal styles of the past.

Bridal Week Harrogate remains an essential stage for the industry - a place where creativity, business and inspiration meet, and where the future of bridal fashion takes shape before our eyes.
