Modern bridal fashion: The 2026 collection from KUESSdieBRAUT
With the 2026 collection, KUESSdieBRAUT once again showed what contemporary bridal fashion can look like when it is deliberately pared down, sustainably conceived and full of personality. The new designs are less classic wedding dresses and more modern bridal outfits that are versatile, relaxed and authentic.
Short and long wedding dresses, jumpsuits, two-pieces and mix & match combinations defined the collection and opened up a wide range of possibilities for civil weddings, free ceremonies, urban weddings or intimate celebrations by the sea. The designs look casual and modern without losing their elegance and accompany brides through a wedding day that feels light and natural.
A modern bridal look with a vintage soul
In 2026, the characteristic KUESSdieBRAUT look remains simple, relaxed and clear, with a subtle vintage charm. Inspirations from different eras flowed together harmoniously: the bohemian spirit of the 70s, the joie de vivre of the 50s and the elegant nonchalance of the Roaring Twenties. These influences have been interpreted in a modern way and translated into timeless silhouettes that do not appear dressed up, but instead focus on the bride’s personality.
The designs remain deliberately minimalist to leave room for individual accents. Accessories, shoes or special pieces of jewelry can characterize the look and make every bridal outfit unique. Instead of opulent details, the focus is on clear lines, special fabrics and sophisticated cuts.
Materials, cuts and wearing comfort
In addition to fine lace and delicate silk, the 2026 collection works with innovative materials such as stretch fabrics and knitted looks. Flowing skirts, modern A-lines, open backs, sleeve variations and clear cut-outs ensure variety without losing the relaxed character of the collection.
The high level of comfort remains a key element. The dresses are not restrictive, follow every movement and accompany brides through long days, emotional moments and exuberant celebrations. The styles are suitable for different figures and are also available in plus size designs.
Sustainable bridal fashion with attitude
Sustainability is not a trend at KUESSdieBRAUT, but an integral part of the design. Under the “Green by Design” approach, the models were developed in a resource-saving manner from the very beginning. Recycled materials and organic cotton were used, unnecessary insoles were avoided and designs were deliberately simplified without compromising on quality.
Even the small details tell the story of this attitude: hand-lettered hangtags, sophisticated cutting techniques and durable workmanship. Many of the short dresses, tops, skirts or jackets can also be worn after the wedding and will thus become favorite pieces beyond the big day.
Bridal fashion with heart and history
A special detail accompanied each dress in the collection. There is a small fabric heart pendant on each model, which serves as a color and style reference and later remains as a reminder of this special day. This heart symbolizes the label’s philosophy: bridal fashion with feeling, personality and history.
Behind KUESSdieBRAUT is founder Kerstin, who has been shaping the label with a lot of creativity, attitude and love since 2009. Based in Baden Württemberg and with its own boutique near Mosbach, the company produces premium quality designer bridal fashion at fair prices. Long dresses range from around 1,000 to 1,800 euros, short styles between 600 and 1,000 euros. In the DACH region, the collection is also available in selected partner boutiques.
