# Top Bridal Fashion Trends and Colors **By Annette Miller** · 2023-10-23 ## Bridal Fashion Trends Watch 2026 Did you know 1 in 10 brides is considering a wedding [dress with color](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/wedding-dress-dye-services) on their wedding day? In addition to brides in color on their big day, we've seen a surge in former brides, bridesmaids, and dress-wearing people attending or hosting special occasions discovering dress dyeing for re-wear. Here's what we've learned _this_ year and trends we're watching headed into 2026! Overall, our most most popular color requests at Renegade in 2025 have been: - Ombré: Dip dye placement  - [Black](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/black-gothic-dyed-wedding-dresses "Black Dyed Wedding Dresses") allover - [Blue](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/blue-dip-dyed-wedding-dresses "Ice Blue Wedding Dress Trend 2024"), from subtle Ice blue to Sapphire - [Red](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/red-dyed-wedding-dresses "Traditional Lucky Red Wedding Dresses"), especially Scarlet and Burgundy ![professional wedding dress dyeing 2024](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0242/8067/files/die_dye_ombre_wedding_dresses_2024_1024x1024.jpg?v=1698118526) ## Wedding White Becomes Classic Black When we say "black has been popular," what we mean is black is a _white-hot_ trend. Over 1 in 4 of our customers ordered [black](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/black-gothic-dyed-wedding-dresses) for their dye project this year. Some wore black on their big day. Most are upcycling their wedding day looks. We're here for an eco-friendly and pragmatic choice. As our most popular [all-over color service](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/estimate-dyeing-my-dress), all the ways black can translate to elegance and sophistication lend it obvious advantage. Interestingly, our customers uniformly wanted to transform their gowns into all-over black rather than create an ombré design. Black is also popular in nearly every state. Look at who is searching for black gown dyeing across the US. This surprised even us! Black became a popular choice initially in some unexpected regions. ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0728/1082/3985/files/chart_1_600x600.png?v=1679079168) ## All-Over vs. Ombré Style Popularity This year, 1 in 4 of our customers have sought out an ombré look. Two styles continue to be especially popular: [sunset](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/sunset-ombre-dip-dyed-wedding-dresses) and [mermaid/peacock](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/mermaid-peacock-ombre-dip-dyed-wedding-dresses-1). Interestingly, we had the same amount of interest in both signature ombre combinations this year.   Blue is a close second in all-over popularity, but is also trending up as an ombré selection this fall. If we count mermaid/peacock in our blue category, it's easily the ombré dip-dye winner. Combined with vibrant [purples](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/purple-dyed-wedding-dresses "purple ombre wedding dresses"), the mermaid/peacock style also represents the growing interest we've seen in purple here at Renegade. ![popular wedding colors 2024](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0242/8067/files/2024_Top_Trends_in_Color_7_600x600.png?v=1698114205) ## More Color Combinations We predict [red and wine](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/red-dyed-wedding-dresses "red wedding dresses") tones will become increasingly popular in 2026. As sunset looks have maintained popularity, we predict red requests may take on a more burgundy or merlot hue.  [Green](https://www.renegadebridal.com/pages/green-dyed-wedding-dresses "green emerald sage mint dyed wedding dress") also grew in popularity this year. (Have you noticed green _cars_ everywhere suddenly, too?) Green and blue are gorgeous in the classic mermaid ombré design. We anticipate green may take a bigger role in dip-dye designs, likely paired with blues and purples.
