The new ALMA Novia 2026 collection steps into a more sophisticated, sensual territory, gently evolving the label’s signature romantic aesthetic. While the brand, part of the Rosa Clará fashion group, remains rooted in fluidity and soft organic textures, this season introduces a bolder, more contemporary dimension.

This collection is perfect for brides who lean towards minimalist styles but still want touches of romance. Think soft tulle, subtle sparkle and sculpted yet fluid silhouettes.

The new direction gives ALMA Novia’s dresses a sleeker, sexier attitude. Silhouettes skim closer to the body with details such as cut-out waists, bikini-style backs and 3D floral appliqués. The result is a refined balance: clean modern shapes softened with ethereal touches. Styled with floating capes or airy overskirts, these pieces retain the romance ALMA Novia is known for while confidently stepping into new territory.

Contemporary Bridal Appeal 

So, what are the standout elements? Guipure lace – one of the brand’s longstanding signatures – remains central, now styled with voluminous A-line skirts to create some of the collection’s most traditionally romantic looks. For brides seeking polish and drama, lace bodices are elevated with silver embroidery that lends a subtle glow. More fashion-forward designs explore exposed boning, widened back necklines and intricate beaded straps.

Some of the collection’s most striking gowns are crafted from ultra-soft tulle and georgette – fabrics that speak directly to the heart of ALMA Novia’s aesthetic. We love the strapless pleated bodices, side cut-outs and sweeping thigh-high slits. Other gowns introduce delicate beadwork woven into the fabric to add just a hint of shimmer. Princess-style designs return with renewed finesse, pairing lace bodices with weightless tulle skirts. Elsewhere, lace appears from bodice to hemline, showcasing both modern geometric patterns and classic floral motifs.
