Traditional Yet Modern Tulle

Once reserved for traditional ballgown skirts and veils, tulle is stepping into the spotlight in a whole new way. In 2026, it’s all about modern romanticism. With sculpted layers, dramatic bows, and cloud-like sleeves redefining how tulle is worn.


Tulle works beautifully in bespoke wedding dress designs, giving brides complete control over volume, movement, and texture.

In 2026 we’ll start to see tulle layered, ruched, and even sculpted into oversized bows, veils, or sleeves for that soft, romantic yet modern look. A L I S H A is one of our all-time favourite designs featuring tulle with a high-neck design, with delicate French corded lace beneath. Perfect for the bride who’s looking for an elegant and romantic bridal dress. Tulle is the fabric of the year.

Off-the-Shoulder Necklines


There’s something effortlessly elegant and romantic about an off-the-shoulder neckline. Off-the-shoulder silhouettes are romantic, feminine, and flattering on so many body types. At Mara Marie Bridal our brides are looking for a modern style with sculptural folds, delicate draping, and clean lines.


We’re obsessed with off-the-shoulder styles in heavier fabrics like satin or duchess silk for structure, or light chiffons and tulles for a dreamy and floaty vibe. P A U L I N E is the ultimate dress.


What's better still with this stunning bridal gown? It features detachable sleeves. An amazing way to create a different look for your reception or after-party to reveal a sleek, strapless silhouette with a completely different vibe. For an added touch of modern sophistication, finish your look with a luxe bridal scarf. Drape it effortlessly over your shoulders or tie it around your neck for that chic, high-fashion edge


This style of wedding dress is timeless yet trend-led. You can keep it sleek and minimal or go full regal with puffed sleeves and embellishment.

Dropped Waists

The new it-girl silhouette. Dropped-waist wedding dresses are everywhere right now, and if you’re into that relaxed elegance meets fashion week runway kind of vibe, this is your moment. Here at Marie Mara Bridal, we’ve reimagined this trend with soft corsetry, exaggerated skirts, and delicate boning that adds subtle structure without losing comfort.


Whether paired with a sculpted corset bodice or softened with layers of flowing tulle, the dropped waistline is perfect for brides wanting something fashion-forward but still bridal.

Whether you’re going for satin simplicity or full-blown textured tulle, this silhouette brings drama in the best possible way.


Choose a dropped waist from one of our signature collections, then customise it with your preferred neckline, fabric, or embellishments.


Our top styling tip… Add a silk bow at the waistline or a sheer long veil to balance out the proportions and keep things feeling romantic.

The Mini Dress


If there’s one piece every modern bride needs in her wedding wardrobe it’s the classic and timeless Mini Dress. The mini is no longer just a second look, it’s essential for your wedding weekend.


Our Mara Marie Bridal brides love a mini-dress. Our designs are romantic yet playful and versatile. Mini wedding dresses make the perfect look for any rehearsal dinner, a secret elopement moment, your hen party outfit, or slipping into it when it’s time to dance the night away at your wedding after-party.
