Being a bride isn’t easy. In fact, it’s a full-time job the moment you say “yes!” The bigger the celebration, the bigger the obligation…and don’t get me started on the details. With brides today putting their own style signatures on every piece of the celebration, I’m here to tell you that accessorizing is where the magic happens. And that’s where we come in. Think of us at ClothesPetals as your bridal besties—helping you plan, style, and source everything from engagement shoots to your wedding dress. And so when it comes to saying “I do,” we’re here to make sure you do it in style.
As bridal fashion week approaches, let’s dive into some of the accessory trends we’re seeing for 2025. These trends are more than just fashion moments; they’re opportunities to personalize your wedding day look and create unforgettable style statements. From the bride to the groom and everyone in between, here’s what’s trending for 2025:
1. Fresh Flowers: Not Your Average Bouquet
Flowers are taking center stage in 2025, and not just in the bouquet or centerpieces. Brides are elevating their looks with fresh flower crowns, floral hairpieces, and even bouquets draped like capes or worn as wrist cuffs. Not to mention, floral embellishments are larger than life with 3D appliques. And it’s not just for brides—grooms are adding florals to their looks, too. Think floral lapel details or boutonnières that pop. Flowers are no longer just an accessory for the day; they’re becoming a signature style element.

Work with a local florist who can customize fresh flower accessories that reflect your style and theme. If you’re going for something eco-friendly, look to sustainable florists like Bespoke Blossoms, who specialize in unique floral designs that look amazing and photograph beautifully.
2. Customized Pieces: Let’s Get Personal
One of my favorite trends for 2025 is customization, and it’s everywhere—from groomsmen cufflinks to the bride’s gloves. Personalized details are becoming must-haves for the modern couple. Think embroidered veils with meaningful phrases, laser-engraved cufflinks with the date or initials, or even custom lace gloves that spell out special words. Couples are also embracing custom accessories that reflect family heritage or special memories, making these items keepsakes for life.

Etsy is your best friend for personalized, handmade accessories. Check out ByHannahDesign for cufflinks and tie bars or LaceAndLetter for beautifully embroidered gloves and veils. For something completely bespoke, work with a local artisan who can create a one-of-a-kind piece to fit your vision.
3. Gloves & Headpieces: The Vintage Glam Revival
Gloves are back, and they’re a statement all on their own. Brides are embracing gloves in sheer chiffon, delicate lace, and even dramatic, bejeweled versions. The bespoke customization was a major trend last year, and I’m loving how it has expanded into headpieces; with brides taking the look further by personalizing both with embroidered initials, intricate beading, or add-ons that give vintage glamour. Gloves are a chic way to add a touch of timeless elegance to your wedding day look, and head scarves are another. Love seeing how brides will continue to get creative with this accessory pairing throughout the Spring.

Luxury bridal boutiques like BHLDN or Grace Loves Lace are a great place to start, but don’t sleep on vintage shops for truly one-of-a-kind pieces. For custom embroidered gloves, The Embroidered Bride offers beautifully detailed options that can be customized with anything from monograms to full phrases.
4. Bows: Bold and Beautiful
Bows are making a major comeback in bridal fashion, and in 2025, they’re bigger and better than ever. From oversized satin bows in hair to subtle, chic bow accents on dresses and shoes, this trend is all about playful elegance. We’re even seeing bows make their way into wedding décor—think bow-tied chair covers or ribbons on the groomsmen’s lapels. Brides and grooms alike are finding ways to incorporate bows into their wedding day looks, and we’re here for it.

For a high-fashion take, designers like Oscar de la Renta and Viktor & Rolf are leading the way with stunning bow-adorned gowns and accessories. If you’re looking for DIY touches, try craft stores like M&J Trimming for satin or velvet ribbon to create your own custom bows.
5. Statement Jewelry: Go Big or Go Home
2025 is the year of the statement accessory, and, let me tell you, pearls are really here to hang–I mean, stay. Think bold chandelier earrings, oversized pearl necklaces, and ornate hairpins that take your bridal look to the next level. Statement pieces are designed to make a lasting impression, and for many brides, they’re the perfect way to add a little extra glam. The key is to balance your statement piece with your overall look—if your gown is sleek and simple, a bold earring or dramatic necklace can add just the right amount of flair.

Look to fine jewelers like Jennifer Behr and Maison Sabben for stunning, high-quality bridal jewelry. If you’re feeling like splurging on something heirloom-worthy, Tiffany & Co. and Cartier have classic options that will last a lifetime (and beyond).
Listen, brides: I don’t care what anyone has told you, but 2025 has brought an increased attention to detail. With wedding venues becoming even more bespoke and intimate, we love helping brides bring out their unique personalities to tell their own personal love story from beginning to end of the wedding process, for each and every outfit.
From fresh florals to oversized bows and personalized gloves, this year’s trends are all about making your look feel personal, unique, and unforgettable.
