As weddings evolve, so do bridal fashion and accessories. The modern bride in 2025 is redefining tradition with personal touches, sustainable choices, and bold statements. Let’s dive into Halo and Wren's favorite accessory trends shaping the bridal world this year.

1. Lace Edge Veils

Lace edge veils are taking center stage in 2025, offering a perfect blend of tradition and modern elegance. These veils come in various styles to suit every bride’s taste:

Manilla Lace Veils: Featuring intricate and delicate patterns, these veils add a touch of vintage charm and timeless sophistication. Perfect for brides looking for a classic yet luxurious look.
Flat Lay Lace Veils: Known for their minimalist and sleek design, these veils showcase subtle lace edging that complements modern and minimalist gowns beautifully.
Cathedral Lace Veils: Halo and Wren's most popular length veil, these veils are adorned with romantic lace detailing that flows softly down the aisle. They are ideal for brides seeking a grand and opulent statement.

Halo and Wren has a carefully selected portfolio of handmade lace edged samples for brides to try on from our designers: Helen Martin, Made With Love Bridal, and Chosen by Kyha. These veils can be tried on and purchased by booking a veil and accessory trial via our booking page.

2. Bold JewelLEry Choices

Minimalism is taking a backseat as brides embrace bold, statement-making jewellery. Oversized earrings remain a popular choice. Pearls, a classic bridal staple, are being reimagined in modern, unconventional designs.

Whilst classic remains king when it comes to accessories, many brides are choosing statement pieces for their pre-wedding celebrations or the second look in the evening.

Halo and Wren stocks the exclusive Zawadzky collection from Colombia, famed for their statement pieces including the dramatic Chrysler earrings. A great selection of these handmade earrings can be found in-store at Halo and Wren or via our shop page, where they can be purchased online.

3. Transformative Pieces

Adaptability is key for the modern bride. Accessories that can transition from ceremony to reception, such as detachable sleeves, overskirts, and capes, are gaining popularity. Capes and overskirts allow the bride to completely transform their look through the day, choosing dramatic billowing capes to walk the aisle to romantic overskirts that part to reveal the main gown underneath.

Detachable sleeves also offer transformative abilities, allowing brides to incorporate contrasting fabrics such as lace with a simple crepe gown or to modernize a more traditional style ballgown wedding dress with a striking modern sleeve. These transformative pieces allow a bride to truly dress up and personalize their gown and look for their wedding day.

5. Bridal Scarves

A fresh take on bridal layering, scarves are becoming a chic accessory for modern brides. Whether sheer and delicate or contrasting fabric, bridal scarves can add texture, romance, and personality to a wedding look. They’re perfect for outdoor ceremonies or adding a unique flair to a minimalist gown.

Halo and Wren are lucky to stock bridal scarves in a variety of fabrics from their designers: Made With Love, Chosen by Kyha, and Jenny Yoo.

7. Bridal Gloves

A vintage trend is making a modern comeback. Bridal gloves, whether sheer, lace, or satin, are adding sophistication and drama to wedding looks. For a playful twist, some brides are opting for gloves with unique patterns or personalized embroidery.

Brides are seeking the 'old Hollywood' look of quiet luxury and achieving this with bridal gloves and scarves. We are loving seeing this trend continue and evolve. Halo and Wren stocks a variety of bridal gloves for our brides to achieve this look.

8. Bespoke Clutches

Custom clutches are becoming a must-have accessory for brides who want a practical yet stylish way to carry essentials. Monogrammed initials, wedding dates, or even meaningful quotes make these clutches both functional and sentimental.

Our designer Loeffler Randall creates some truly beautiful bridal clutches that will complement your bridal style and go beyond the wedding day.

10. Personalized Details

From engraved jewellery to custom charms and hand-painted shoes, personalization remains a top trend. Brides want their accessories to tell their unique story, making every detail of their outfit deeply meaningful.

Closing Thoughts

The modern bride in 2025 isn’t afraid to push boundaries and embrace individuality. Whether it’s through sustainable choices, bold statements, or personalized touches, Halo and Wren's favorite bridal accessories are a celebration of creativity and self-expression. As trends continue to evolve, one thing remains constant: every bride’s accessories should reflect her unique style and story.
