61. Maximalism is back in Bridal! Inside 2025 Trends with Magnolia Laine Detroit’s Kelsey McDonagh
Maximalism is having a moment!I am joined by Kelsey McDonagh from Magnolia Laine Detroit, part of the White Magnolia Collection to unpack what she saw at Chicago Bridal Market and what Midwest brides are loving right now. We get into sizing strapless ballgowns so they stay put, the veil (or no-veil) debate, why detachable-everything is tricky in alterations, how Magnolia Laine curates a calm, private shopping experience, and the brand’s Detroit story, including its October breast-cancer initiative. In this episode:
Trend shift: Minimalist to maximalist
Why more crinoline and fuller skirts are back
Veils and other trendy accessories
The current style of the midwest bride vibe
New changes in the buying experience: Private suites, curated racks (less overwhelm), and a “no hard sell” philosophy
What is going on behind the scenes in the wedding dress industry
