Once again, the beautiful, classic ball gown is back as one of the most popular wedding gown silhouettes chosen by brides for the big day. The general theme in weddings right now is bigger and bolder, and ball gowns definitely fit right in with this trend. So from large, layered skirts and petticoats to all-out poofs, the more volume and the bigger the statement, the better!


With opulence, glamour and maximalism in high demand right now, we expect to see even more embellishments on ball gowns throughout the fall and in 2027, like 3D floral appliqués and fanciful embroidery.



Bows are all the rage again and peplum waist details, like on the Amoros by Alon Livné for Kleinfeld, are a unique twist available for brides who really want a modern princess look. Asymmetrical bodices and basque waistlines will also continue to grace many beautiful ball gowns throughout the next year.


Aside from being simply gorgeous and often surprisingly easy in which to move, a ball gown guarantees that you'll make a dramatic entrance on your wedding day. It's a wonderful choice for any style of wedding event, and truly favored for a very formal, grand wedding affair. And the best part is that a ball gown looks fabulous on every body type.



If a ball gown is in your wedding dreams, you'll be happy to know fashion designers' current bridal lines have a ton available online and in bridal shops. In fact, so many 2027 designer collections are simply overflowing with ball gowns, proving to us that this impressive silhouette will indeed continue to be in high demand at least through all of next year.


It's so hard to choose just a few to share, as there's so many absolutely sublime designer ball gowns available to highlight. Among the priciest options, the Lowe and the Oleander from Amsale are simply stunning, one with an exquisite tulle skirt and cat eye neckline and the other with a basque waist and feathered texture skirt.



Provonias' Seaborn bridal gown shines with its strapless, sweetheart neckline and full, tulle skirt dripping with romantic lace and beadwork. And the Beloved and Spencer dresses by Monique Lhuillier are just two of the many amazing basque waistline ball gowns in her fresh Spring 2027 collection.

We have tons of recent examples of our own from beautiful brides that chose gorgeous ball gowns for their big day!
