Purple is a hue of royalty and lilac extends that same dapper energy into a certain delicacy, making them both the star colors of the season. If you’re a bride looking for the perfect shade to dress your bridal party in, this may be your sign to go in the violet direction. Purple is one of the few tones that genuinely looks good on everyone and every shade. Plus, its versatility in hue helps you find the perfect tone for you and your girls. If you want to make a splash that’s bold and unforgettable, going for an Eggplant shade, Mulberry or Deep Purple is the perfect choice for you. And as for Lilac lovers, the lighter purple hue gives a softness and elegance that ups the ante of femininity for you and your whole squad.

Bronde Hair for the Win

Bronde hair has been the color of the year as far as hair styling goes and for good reason; no matter the skin tone or shade, it can look fabulous on anyone. Bronde, which is named for being the perfect mix of blonde and brown, is a Luxe-Forward Woman’s dream; giving just the right pop of surprise in color with its blonde pieces that make the typical, classic brown shade look like it had the upgrade of its life. You can rock your Bronde with a bob or shoulder length moments with a blowout curl to match like Lori Harvey or go big and glamorous like influencer Aliyah Harris or with crimped tresses like Kamie Crawford who is one of the forerunners in popularizing the shade. Either way, know that you can never go wrong with the Bronde vibe for autumn 2025.

@PaintedByEsther has taken over the glam game with her notorious pink-y glam. Featuring a blush extension for the cheeks to the undereye, her take on rouge has inspired the masses to go the “more is more” route when it comes to applying blush. With some of her celeb clients like Gabrielle Union, Kelly Rowland, and Olandria now also becoming synonymous with the makeup trend, this vibe is ideal for brides about to walk the aisle. If you’re a bride who wants to give “blush and bashful” for your big day, honing in on a pink-y undereye as your glam inspo will give you that exact vibe and more for your wedding day glam.

Punk Rock Core

When we hear “punk” brewing amongst the fashion trend report streets, most people’s mind goes to the London 80s scene, Madonna’s gloves and lots and lots of leather biker jackets and gaudy belts, but in all actuality, punk is a concept of ultimate expression; its the idea that pushes up against whatever is scene as “typical”, “normal” or “classic” and instead offers a style perspective that protests against the fashion rules and agendas to deem a new world. So, if we’re talking punk as a leading trend for the season, then Nicole Ari Parker’s wardrobe as Lisa Todd Wexley on HBO Max’s And Just Like That… Sex & the City spin-off is the picture that should be under the definition of the term this season. Characterized by mixing the most contrasting and boldest of patterns with lots of play with shape, funky-bold accessories and of course, her own signature Bronde bob, LTW’s closet was arguably the most revered amongst her fashion-forward cast mates. If you want to apply this trend of punk for your bridal wardrobe or as a wedding guest, try looking toward’s her character for all of the advice you’ll need. Take a hint out of the show’s illustrious and iconic costume designers, Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago’s styling books and shop from emerging designers and focus on garnering statement pieces, being unafraid to pair them together and all at once for an outfit that is truly showstopping.

Party Pieces

The idea of the “party piece” simply means taking a seemingly basic outfit and adding a bold, statement piece or pieces that ups its ante. Whether you do it with a statement bag like Lori, a gang of layered pearls like Rihanna, a cowboy hat and funky earrings like Queen Bey or a polka dot skirt like Jordyn, a party piece gives your outfit language and accent, resulting in people coming up to you asking for the deets or admiring intensely from afar.

Unique Bridesmaid Color Schemes

Rich Tones are always king in the fall season and this autumn 2025, it’s no different. Think Maroon, Eggplant, Chocolate, Ebony and Caramel. Tones like these give off an enriched vibe that supports your desire to give opulence and luxury with your wedding day fashions. To make them even more interesting, play with shape, sleeve work and embellishment if you want to really make a moment out for your rich, fashion spirit.
