Every bridal season begins with a mood board, and 2027's is already taking shape. The spring runways in New York and Barcelona, the boards brides are saving on Pinterest and the gowns arriving in our ateliers all point the same way: toward a bride who wants her dress to say something.

Corsets are getting more inventive, black has walked into bridal, and the cape is back as a real part of the look. Here are the eight wedding dress trends we believe will define 2027, and the WONÁ Concept gowns that already wear them.

The Basque Waist Corset Wedding Dress

Picture a château ballroom in the Loire Valley, candlelight, a long table set for a hundred. This is the gown for that night. The basque waist dips into a soft V below the natural waist, so the torso looks longer and the skirt opens like a flower.

Selena Gomez chose a corset for her ceremony in Santa Barbara: Ralph Lauren lace flowers, hand-applied over a hand-painted corset. At WONÁ, corsetry is where we began. In Atelier Heritage Edition, photographed at Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, the corset is the backbone of the collection. Explore our corset back wedding dresses.

The Strapless Corset Wedding Dress

Shoulders bare, collarbones on show, a bodice that holds its line from the first photo to the last dance. The strapless corset gown suits a summer garden in Provence as well as a rooftop dinner in Manhattan, and it leaves room for the jewelry you love.

It is the most versatile base of all: add a cape for the ceremony, a statement necklace for dinner. In Heritage Edition, look at Aveline, Beamount, Roxane and Velare. For a softer feel, Adagio and Charleen from Maison Blanche. See all strapless wedding dresses.

The Black Wedding Dress

An evening ceremony, a Venetian palazzo or a New York loft, red roses instead of white. A black gown says you planned this wedding exactly your way.

The black wedding dress has never really been a trend — it has been a quiet classic for brides who choose on their own terms. Sarah Jessica Parker married in a black Morgane Le Fay dress in 1997, and Avril Lavigne wore black Monique Lhuillier at a château near Cannes in 2013. In 2027, the rest of the room is catching up. Our answer is Oscar: a black velvet corset and a voluminous skirt covered in handcrafted organza flowers, about 150 hours of handwork. Scala and Carat complete the trio. Explore our black wedding dresses, then see them in person at WONÁ NYC or WONÁ LA.

The Wedding Dress with a Cape

A cathedral ceremony, a winter wedding, a villa on Lake Como. A cape gives the ceremony a regal entrance, and when it comes off, the same gown is ready for the dance floor.

Kaley Cuoco tied a rose-embroidered cape over her lace gown for her wedding in San Diego. At WONÁ, the cape is designed with the corset in mind. In Heritage Edition, Soho pairs a column silhouette with a detachable cape and bolero, so the look changes between the ceremony and dinner. Scala, in satin, organza and velvet, adds separate cape elements to a sweetheart neckline. See all two-piece wedding dresses.

The Lace Wedding Dress

Think Italian summer, a church on the water, the slow romance of an old film. Lace is the most timeless fabric in bridal, and in 2027 it is placed with precision: finer, more transparent, following the shape of the gown instead of hiding it.

Lauren Sánchez married in Venice in a high-necked Dolce & Gabbana gown of hand-appliquéd Italian lace over a cinched corset, inspired by Sophia Loren in Houseboat. Our Heritage Edition works with Chantilly lace over defined bodices: see Prime, Renoar and Overture, or Ondine from Maison Blanche. Explore all lace wedding dresses.

One Gown, Two Looks: The Convertible Wedding Dress

A wedding is no longer one moment. It is a ceremony, a dinner, a dance floor, sometimes a whole weekend in Sicily or Santa Barbara. More brides now want their look to change with the day.

Selena Gomez wore three Ralph Lauren looks at her wedding. Dua Lipa married in a Schiaparelli suit in London, then celebrated in Sicily in Chanel couture. You can get the same effect with one gown: remove the overskirt, the cape or the sleeves, and the evening begins. Maison Blanche sets such as Aster, Kaori and Lunaria are designed to transform, as are Arcane and Spectrum from Heritage Edition. See all two-piece wedding dresses.

The Mantilla Veil

Seville in spring, a stone chapel in Mallorca, a cathedral where every step echoes. The lace mantilla frames the face and falls over the shoulders, soft and centuries old.

It is the perfect counterpoint to a corset: delicate lace above, clean structure below. Lauren Sánchez finished her look with a tulle-and-lace veil in the spirit of Sophia Loren. Pair a lace veil from our veil collection with a strapless Heritage Edition gown.

The Feather Wedding Dress

A Mediterranean evening, a terrace above the sea, a gown that moves with the breeze. Feathers bring a light, swan-like softness that photographs beautifully at golden hour.

Dua Lipa's Chanel couture gown for her Sicily celebration was lined with 25,000 feathers. At WONÁ, feathers soften a sculpted silhouette without taking away its line. Amore in Fiore, our couture collection inspired by the muses of Greco-Roman myth, combines feathers with mikado and lace in gowns such as Aphrodite, Persephone and Nyx. For the most literal take, meet our White Swan collection.
