Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or, worse, took a digital detox), you’ve already heard the news: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. Naturally, the internet reacted like Buckingham Palace announced an upcoming royal wedding…which, fair. Taylor has been singing about love, heartbreak, and every situationship in between since Fearless, and after years of making people ugly-cry into their wine glasses with “All Too Well,” she’s finally getting her “Enchanted” moment.
And of course, Swifties wasted no time creating Pinterest boards and Reddit threads with FBI-level theories about what she’ll wear. Will it be silk or lace? Classic or edgy? One gown or five? Maybe even a full-on Eras Tour fashion lineup? But since fan theories only go so far, I asked actual bridal designers to predict what the future Mrs. Kelce might wear down the aisle. So pour yourself a glass of champagne (or a mocktail), scroll through this list, and place your bets on who you think is right.
Bridal Designers Predict Taylor Swift’s Wedding Dress
Something Deeply Personal
Designer Hayley Paige isn’t here for basic. Instead, she’s predicting a gown that’s basically a wearable love letter (because Taylor would obviously turn her vows into fashion). “I see her choosing something deeply personal — not because it’s trending or timeless, but because it feels like her,” the designer says. She also pictures multi-look storytelling rather than a single moment (AKA, a wardrobe rollout), but calls out Sonnet 104 from her Kleinfeld collection as the overall vibe. “It’s the kind of gown that doesn’t beg for attention but rewards a closer look. Much like her lyrics, the more you study it, the more it reveals.”
Straight Out Of Her Lover Era
Retrofête’s Ohad Seroya is betting on pearls, butterflies, and multiple outfit changes. “Taylor’s style over the years has been anything but predictable, but what we do know is that she’s in her full bridal-girl era. When I envision her gown, it’s pure elegance, straight out of her Lover era. It’s soft, romantic, and timeless. I picture delicate satin in an ivory and cream palette, finished with chantilly lace godets. She is embellished with pearl beading and butterfly appliqués for an ethereal touch. And of course, she’ll embrace multiple after-party looks with a bit more drama and sparkle.”
A Nod To The Girl She’s Always Been
Wona Concept’s take? A gown that’s dramatic, but not in a Real Housewives way. “The dress would show who she is now while nodding to the girl she’s always been,” a representative of the brand shares with me. “Elegant, mature, but still carrying that signature spark and energy.” And yes, they fully believe Taylor will rock multiple looks on the big day (because, duh). “She’s waited forever for this moment — so multiple looks feel right. Each one should play a part in the story, with the show-stopping gown saved for the ceremony.”
Old-School Fairytale Aesthetics With Modern Surprises
Prediction number four comes from Yuliia Lobachova, creative director and founder of Ricca Sposa and Yuliia Lobachova Couture, who thinks Swift will marry old-school fairytale aesthetics with modern surprises. “I see Taylor blending classic elegance with subtle, modern boldness. She has a deep appreciation for timeless silhouettes, but she’s never afraid to add unique details that make a statement—whether it’s through unexpected textures, intricate embellishments, or a contemporary twist on tradition.” Lobachova also expects multiple looks that’ll show off the pop star’s evolution as a style icon.
Instantly Iconic But Impossible To Pin To One Decade
Galia Lahav’s Sharon Sever sees Taylor skipping the costume changes and going straight for a single, show-stopping moment. “She’ll merge timelessness with edge — a look that feels instantly iconic but impossible to pin to one decade. That’s how you make a moment last. A confident woman doesn’t need costume changes to prove her range. The right gown should capture everything in a single, unforgettable statement.” Bold guess! Though honestly, Taylor doing one gown would be the biggest plot twist of all.
Vintage-Inspired With Feminine Accents
Arava Polak is banking on a chic, polished, vintage-inspired, and quietly sentimental look. “A classic, elegant, and timeless fit would suit Taylor’s character like a glove,” the designer says, picturing a strapless French silk taffeta silhouette edged with delicate lace and a bodysuit for that vintage wink. “A nod to Taylor’s love for vintage-inspired, feminine accents,” the designer adds.
At the end of the day, no matter which designer prediction you stan, there’s one thing we can all agree on: Taylor’s not about to walk down the aisle in something boring. And while the rest of us will be in sweatpants, watching grainy paparazzi shots and decoding Easter eggs on Reddit, whoever guesses right will have the satisfaction of saying “I told you so” when the big reveal happens.
