If 2025 marked a transition, 2026 promises to be the year of radical authenticity in the wedding universe. Brides-to-be are abandoning the uniformity of mass production to turn towards pieces that have a soul, a story, and a traceable provenance.
As a Parisian design studio, at Anthémis Paris, we are observing a growing demand for "meaning" rather than simple "shine." From noble materials like cold porcelain to sculptural botanical designs, here is your ultimate guide to bridal accessory trends for 2026.
1. Ceramic and Cold Porcelain: The New Haute Couture
This is the major trend of 2026. Forget generic rhinestones; the modern bride seeks texture and depth. Cold porcelain accessories and ceramics offer a matte, sophisticated, and incredibly photogenic finish that contrasts beautifully with silk or crepe dresses.
This trend celebrates artisanal imperfection. With each petal being modeled by hand, your accessory becomes a unique piece, impossible to reproduce industrially. This is the very essence of our floral collections, like the Harmonia comb, where every flower tells of the artisan's touch.
2. "Bespoke" as the Standard of Luxury
Ultra-personalization (or Hyper-Personalization) is at the heart of 2026 wedding trends. It is no longer just about buying a piece of jewelry, but about co-creating one's look. Brides want their comb or hair vine to adapt perfectly to their specific hairstyle or echo a detail of their dress's lace.
"True luxury in 2026 is wearing a creation that exists for no one else but you."
That is why our bespoke creation service in Paris is so acclaimed. Whether it involves adjusting the length of a hair vine or mixing pearly beads with golden elements, we adapt our creations to your vision.
3. The Opulence of Baroque Pearls
The pearl remains timeless, but in 2026, it is rebelling. We are moving away from classic, overly well-behaved strands of pearls towards baroque pearls, with their organic and irregular shapes.
This "wabi-sabi" aesthetic (beauty in imperfection) brings an immediate touch of modernity. We integrate these pearls into our dangling earrings and hair pins to create soft plays of light that illuminate the face without overwhelming it. It is the ideal choice for brides aiming for the "Clean Girl" or "Quiet Luxury" style.
4. Botanical Vines and Fluidity
Bridal hairstyles in 2026 aim to be softer: strict buns are giving way to "Hollywood waves" and destructured bohemian tie-ups. To accompany this movement, rigid accessories (classic tiaras) are being replaced by flexible hair vines.
Our botanical creations, inspired by nature and mythology, are designed to wind through a braid or highlight a low bun. The use of flexible gold-plated wire allows your hairdresser to sculpt the accessory directly onto your head on the big day.
5. Ethics and "Made in Paris"
Finally, the origin of the product has become an aesthetic and moral criterion of choice. The bride of 2026 is an informed consumer who prioritizes short supply chains and local craftsmanship. Choosing an Anthémis Paris accessory means supporting French art craftsmanship and ensuring that your wedding respects values of sustainability.
