Powered by RedCircle

In the world of bridal fashion, change is constant yet nostalgic, with classic designs evolving to meet the tastes of today’s brides. In a recent episode of The Wedding Reporter Podcast, the team at VOWS Bridal shared insights into the dynamic bridal industry, their own unique roles, and the exciting trends emerging in wedding fashion. Olivia D’Angelo, along with managers Susie and Mandy, gave an insider’s look at the evolution of bridal styles, the popularity of multiple-dress purchases, and their experience selecting designs at New York Luxury Bridal Fashion Week.

About VOWS Bridal

VOWS Bridal, a long-standing fixture in Boston since its founding by Olivia’s parents in 1992, has grown from a small 500-square-foot space into a bridal destination with thousands of gowns, offering styles to fit every bride. VOWS is known for its emphasis on inclusivity—offering sample dresses in a wide range of sizes so that every bride feels comfortable envisioning herself on her big day. As Mandy emphasized, it’s all about making each bride feel “special and amazing,” with a robust selection that allows every individual to find something she truly loves.

One of the standout aspects of VOWS Bridal’s approach is their extensive buying process, which is carefully curated during trips to bridal fashion shows. The VOWS team attends New York Luxury Bridal Fashion Week, collaborating with top designers to bring a mix of on-trend and timeless pieces into their shop. Olivia and her team discussed some of the most exciting trends from recent shows, such as the resurgence of Chantilly lace and “drop waist” silhouettes, which give a modern twist to vintage designs. Susie, a long-time fan of Chantilly lace, noted that it’s satisfying to see these elegant elements reimagined for today’s brides. Olivia also shared her excitement about unique, hand-painted floral details and dramatic yet timeless ball gowns.

Multiple Wedding Looks

Another popular trend is the increasing demand for multiple wedding looks. Brides are no longer content with a single outfit, often opting for a second dress—something comfortable and fun for the after-party. Susie, who recently experienced her own wedding, admitted she was thrilled to embrace this trend. While some might see it as indulgent, the VOWS team views it as a natural evolution, as weddings increasingly become multi-day events with various celebrations, each demanding its own look.

Gown Styles

The trend towards clean, minimalist gowns has also taken hold, reflecting broader fashion trends. Olivia pointed out that the neutral, streamlined aesthetic often seen in day-to-day fashion has begun to permeate bridal style, too. For brides drawn to simplicity, VOWS Bridal offers an array of elegant, understated gowns. Conversely, brides looking for glamour can find ornate, sparkly dresses, which Mandy, the team’s self-proclaimed “glam” lover, is always eager to source.

There’s Something for Everyone

Despite the rise in trend-led styles, the VOWS team is committed to variety. They believe that every bride should feel special, no matter her style or budget. From luxurious gowns to more accessible options, VOWS Bridal is a place where brides can explore various designs without feeling limited by price or sizing. Mandy highlighted that while the team draws inspiration from high-end couture, they strive to make these looks affordable, often recreating runway styles at price points more accessible to the everyday bride.

Trend-Setting Wedding Dress Shop

In sum, the VOWS team is redefining what it means to shop for a wedding dress, offering an experience as unique as the brides they serve. They are passionate about creating a space where everyone can feel beautiful, confident, and seen, bringing the latest in bridal trends alongside timeless options for every budget and style. This focus on inclusivity, trend-setting, and timelessness sets VOWS Bridal apart as a leader in modern bridal fashion.
