Cleveland Bridal Show Fashion Show Gallery: 2026 Wedding Styles on the Runway

If you missed the Today’s Bride January Cleveland Bridal Show fashion show, this gallery gives you a front-row look at the styles that took over the runway. Featuring gowns from local bridal boutiques across Northeast Ohio, this show highlighted what brides are loving right now—from timeless silhouettes to statement-making details. Whether you’re just starting your search or narrowing down your dream dress, these looks offer real inspiration you can find right here in Cleveland.

Wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses were featured from CLE Bride by Expressions and David’s Bridal, while men’s formalwear was provided by Ticknors Men’s Clothier and Rondinelli Tuxedo Company. Guests also got a special treat with Doggy I Do in attendance, featuring Elliot, who stole the show in the most adorable way.

A special thank you to Rock The House Entertainment for the music, AV, and lighting, and Paul Mitchell The School Cleveland for the models’ hair and makeup!

Lace is back in a big way, but not the traditional version you remember. We saw bold, dimensional lace, layered textures, and intricate detailing that adds depth and drama.

Brides are embracing statement details in a big way, and this gown is a perfect example of how those bold touches can completely transform a bridal look. From oversized bows to 3D florals and soft feather accents, these eye-catching elements are showing up everywhere—and now, dramatic puff sleeves are joining that list. The voluminous sleeves on this gown add movement, personality, and a fashion-forward edge to an otherwise classic silhouette, creating a look that feels both timeless and modern. It’s these kinds of standout details that are helping brides express their personal style and make a lasting impression from the moment they walk down the aisle.

One dress, multiple looks. The look below is a perfect example of the convertible bridal trend that continues to grow in popularity. What starts as a sleek, modern mini dress is instantly transformed with the addition of a dramatic, removable overskirt—creating a full, ceremony-ready bridal look. This kind of versatility allows brides to have two completely different styles in one gown: a more traditional, statement-making silhouette for walking down the aisle, and a fun, effortless party look for the reception. Convertible designs like this are all about flexibility and personalization, giving brides the ability to switch up their look throughout the day without needing a second dress.

Structured silhouettes are having a major moment, with corsetry, sculpted bodices, and intentional draping creating a high-fashion feel on the aisle.

While white will always be classic, we’re seeing more brides lean into color. A lot of gowns offer variations on the underskirt, such as subtle blush, champagne, or mocha, but we have other brides leaning toward a more dramatic color option, like this gown from CLE Bride by Expressions.

Now let’s take a closer look at all the styles found on the runway!
