Last month the internet exploded as Taylor Swift announced her engagement in an Instagram post that soon became the most liked of all time. And whilst all eyes were on the stunning diamond ring presented by fiancé Travis Kelce, fans soon began to speculate about what kind of dress the best-selling music artist might wear as she walks down the aisle.
There’s no question the details of the popstar’s bridal gown will be kept a strict secret until the big day. But for those hoping for a teaser, wedding specialist Rachel Snedden, owner of Edinburgh’s multi-award winning Rachel Scott Couture, shares her top bridal trend predictions for 2026:
“What I’m seeing for the coming season is a real explosion in use of texture. Whether it’s a texture in the fabric weave itself, or it’s adding in texture through pleating, crimping or asymmetric draping.
“Fabrics like damask with floral patterns woven in to create a raised finish in sections will be popular. So too will cotton jersey for incredible softness and stretch, and bold lace detailing. We’ll also see more use of heavyweight mikado fabrics to create a flawlessly sculpted line.”
For any brides-to-be currently as excited as Taylor to plan their big day, now is the time to shop for that perfect dress, as Rachel Scott Couture has just announced it will be hosting a one-off, three-week long sample sale at its Queensferry Street boutique.
Launching on Monday 22nd September and running until Friday 17th October, more than 75 designer dresses will be available to purchase at up to 80% off RRP, including big names such as Vivienne Westwood and Suzanne Neville.
Speaking ahead of the launch of the sale, Rachel commented; “We know Taylor Swift is a big Vivienne Westwood fan, having worn her couture creations on her recent Eras tour. As the exclusive Scottish stockists of Vivienne Westwood bridal and occasion wear, no doubt her fans will be first in line at our sale to get that A-lister look at a hugely discounted price.
“Celebrities can have a real influence on bridal trends, but the most important thing is to find a wedding dress truly reflects your own style. By tailoring and customising a dress, as we do here at Rachel Scott Couture, we can ensure even the most on-trend gowns look timeless and exude personality.”
With such big discounts on offer, the sale is expected to be popular, so entry to this exclusive sale will be via appointment only. Bridal bargain hunters can book their slot in advance via the Rachel Scott Couture website or by calling the team on 0131 5561520.
