Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, European Bridal Week, 13-15 April in Messe Essen, is home to leading international names reaching out to a big, beautiful audience with their 2025 collections.
 

 

Take a look at Modeca Bridal, where each dress tells a unique story, turning a dream into reality. And there are collections within the collection – Le Papillon, Curves and Couture – ensuring that difference really stands out.

 

GBS Herve Paris, meanwhile, is created for those relaxed destination weddings where sunshine, sand and often bare feet call for laid-back styling, light flowing fabrics and special, art-driven detailing. 

 

In Libelle Bridal, the focus is on choice, with an eclectic range that includes clean minimalism, as well as fairytale romance. 

 

When it comes to Randy Fenoli Bridal, the two new ranges for 2025 – the Goddess and the Heavenly collections – are all about femininity, grace and individuality in gowns that are meticulously crafted and make lush statements of designer style.

 

From Poland comes the hugely applauded Afrodyta label with its eponymous Bride Couture collection and its plus-size special range, under the heading of Queens. 
Designer and company owner, the uber-talented Kazimiera Nieczaj, has selected wonderful fabrics for 2025 including soft satin, sparkle tulle, silk organza and glitter, and in addition to her classic ivory, there are shades of blush, nude and pink and the sheer drama of black. The sheath silhouette, perfect, she says, for every shape and size, smoothly combines with a wide range of detachables - sleeves, overskirts, trains and scarves.
