While the previous wedding seasons brought us the modernized minimalist, we are excited to report that for 2025 bridal: ballgowns are back! This years brides (and next: hello 2026 bride-to-be’s…) are embracing designs that combine architectural precision with dramatic volume, offering both elegance and support. From corseted tops, layered skirts, and trains that scale the aisle, today’s structured ballgowns toe the line between vintage-romance and contemporary queen.
So if you’re dreaming of a classic fairytale bridal gown or a high-fashion statement dress…don’t stray too far. These four stunning 2025 ballgown wedding dresses are ready for your eyes and to be tried on (in our Chicago showroom!)
1. Arabella Rose: The Modern Romantic’s Ballgown Wedding Dress
For the 2025 bride seeking timeless elegance with a modernized flair, Grace + Ivory’s Arabella Rose dress stands out as the quintessential choice. Crafted from a luxurious rose-pattern jacquard fabric, this strapless gown features a flattering sweetheart neckline with subtle ruching across the bodice, offering both structure and softness.
The full ballgown skirt on Arabella Rose retains its stunning structure with a layered high slit for added details and volume. With versatility always as a Grace + Ivory bride: Arabella Rose can be made strapless, with an off-the-shoulder draped sleeve, with a ruffle sleeve, a skinny strap, or any combination. They can be detachable? Of course!
2. Poppy: A High-Fashion Ballgown Wedding Dress
For the fashion-forward bride who wants the latest and coolest: Grace + Ivory’s Poppy Dress is THAT girl. Crafted from a luxe ivory crepe for a voluminous ballgown skirt. For the sleeker, chic bride who wants to forgo the lace and the tulle…the architectural elements of Poppy’s peplum create a wow-moment down the aisle.
The Poppy ballgown also features a clean straight neckline with structured boning inside for a bodice that supports in all the right places. Pair Poppy with a long cathedral veil for additional drama and you’re ready for the cover of an editorial magazine.
3. Maeve: The Vintage Lace Ballgown Wedding Dress
Unreleased and sure to stun: Grace + Ivory’s Maeve dress is the epitome of vintage romance. Maeve is the ballgown for our lace loving 2025 and 2026 brides, who feel their most bridal in floral accents and delicate details.

4. Kefira: The Long Sleeve Princess Ballgown Wedding Dress
For brides seeking a ballgown wedding dress that feels straight out of a classic storybook, meet The Kefira. The full (and oh so soft!) tulle skirt offers a voluminous effect, while the romantic lace sleeves add a touch of vintage charm.
