What is Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo Seeing in 2026 Wedding Dress Trends?

In this week's Darianna® Diaries, we give you details about what we are seeing with wedding dress designs, bridal gown colors and what our wedding dress designers have created for 2026 brides.

Research and Experience

Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo sells a lot of wedding dresses every year. We see what brides are choosing and can often see where trends are going. In addition, the co-founder and co-owner of the store, along with her daughter, Daria, choose all of the new dresses coming into the store for brides to try on.

Lastly, our staff is sent to several bridal markets all over the United States to preview new wedding dress styles and to actually speak to the designers themselves to learn what they are thinking. This is an amazing experience because there's nothing better than a bridal stylist to be able to tell a bride during a bridal appointment about what the designer was thinking when designing the dress she is trying on. Truly a magical and value added experience.

Listen to our podcast called 2026 Bridal Fashion Trends: Color In Wedding Dresses and learn where brides are going with their bridal gowns in 2026. You'll be glad you did!

How Long Does It Take For a Wedding Dress to Arrive?

Today, we are going to give you the low-down on how long it really takes for a wedding dress to arrive at your chosen bridal salon after you order the dress.

This is probably the most misunderstood part of wedding dress shopping and we can't blame brides for this. A lot of consumers are led to believe that it takes a lot longer than it really does for a wedding dress to arrive. Fortunately, this is not at all the case.

Hear From the Experts

Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo dresses thousands of wedding attendees every year. Many are brides. As of 2025, we have 13 years of experience of ordering wedding dresses from many different bridal gown designers. Every week, we order many wedding dresses and are given immediate ship dates so we are sure how long this process takes.
