In the bridal world, crochet is back in the spotlight—recasting the traditional wedding dress as something romantic, handcrafted, and surprisingly contemporary. Across the 2026 and 2027 bridal collections, there’s been a notable emphasis on intricate savoir-faire, with designers embracing the charm of handmade workmanship, including delicate weaves, openwork textures, and crochet-effect embroideries as couture-level details.
From the runways of New York Bridal Fashion Week to the collections presented at Barcelona Bridal Week, crochet emerged as a key trend, speaking to brides’ growing desire to wear gowns with a sentimental touch made to last long after the wedding. (Indeed, many of the dresses listed below work just as well for a summer party as they do for heading down the aisle.)

The trend has already been embraced by Vogue brides. For her wedding day, held in Courmayeur, bride Alice Villa wore a Dior wedding dress in cotton crochet. A unique choice inspired by the comforting atmosphere of homes in the Italian Alps, and accompanied by a tailored Loro Piana cashmere coat by Sartoria Bassani. “I was looking for something that was elegant but also cozy,” Villa told Vogue Italia previously.
