If you’ve ever watched an episode of Say Yes to the Dress, you know that Pnina Tornai is one of the most iconic bridal designers (with exclusive designs available at Kleinfeld) of this generation.
After debuting her new 2026 Love by Pnina Tornai collection, the designer revealed the top wedding dress trends you’re going to see this year:
- Dramatic, fairytale ball gowns
- Body-hugging mermaid dresses
- Timeless off-the-shoulder A-line silhouettes
- Unique accessories, from capes to gloves
Interestingly enough, Tornai says, “It’s actually the bride that sets the trends not the designers. We’re here to serve the bride.” And in 2026, brides want eye-catching ball gowns and figure-enhacing mermaid dresses with lots of volume.
That being said, maximalist brides are leveraging accessories rather than opulent gowns to take their look to the next level. “That’s where I think we’re heading, less on the dress,” she muses. “We’ve seen it all, so it’s really about personalizing your look with accessories.”
While some brides want a bold, unique look, many prefer something less trendy. Tornai shares, “The majority of brides I meet, believe it or not, most of them pick a timeless, classic dress.” An example? The designer’s off-the-shoulder A-line dress that has been a years-long bestseller.
