Some silhouettes are distinct in their simplicity. The connected wedding dress is a great example. Elegant, sophisticated and designed to follow the natural shapes of your body. No excess, no big volumes, but a dress that puts your silhouette at the center.
This model is loved by brides who want to subtly emphasize their feminine lines and feel powerful as well as comfortable on their wedding day.
A fitted wedding dress follows the contours of the body. Think fit & flare, mermaid or slim-fitting styles that flow nicely from the upper body toward the hips and legs. The result is an elegant, streamlined look.
Because the dress follows the body, it naturally creates a feminine shape. The silhouette emphasizes your waist, hips and legs, without necessarily feeling tight or uncomfortable. The right fit and fabric make all the difference in this.
A fitted wedding dress is often chosen by brides who like to show off their curves. But this silhouette is certainly not only suitable for one body type.
Are you a little smaller? Then a slim-fitting model can make you look optically taller by creating one vertical line. Do you have a size more? Even then a fitted dress can look beautiful. Especially important is the choice of fabric. Supple materials with sufficient structure ensure that the dress forms nicely, without standing out too much.
During the fitting, we always look together to see which fabric best suits your body.
With a connected wedding dress, you can decide how outspoken you want to go. Do you opt for a long, impressive train for a grand effect during the ceremony? Or do you keep it a little more subtle?
Many dresses also have the option to pin up the train in the evening. This way, you maintain the elegant look during the saying of the yes and later enjoy the dance floor freely.
There are also endless variations in terms of style. From minimalist satin to sophisticated lace, from a deep back to subtle sleeves. The silhouette remains sleek and feminine, but the look can be completely tailored to your taste.
A fitted wedding dress requires a little daring, but it also gives a lot in return. It’s a silhouette that doesn’t hide, but enhances. It’s all about balance, the right fit and most of all, how you feel in it.
Whether this model suits you, you only really discover when you put it on. Because in the end, it’s not about the figure you have, but the feeling you get when you see yourself in the mirror.
And that moment is what matters.

Last night, the Dutch television world shone on the blue carpet at Royal Theater Carré, during the Golden Televizier-Ring Gala 2025. And while the coveted ring took center stage, the cameras turned at least as often to the impressive gala dresses. An evening full of glitz and glamour. For several famous women were dressed by none other than our Addy van den Krommenacker.
Wendy beamed in a couture gown that oozed glamour. With a perfect balance of classic elegance and modern finesse, Addy brought to life a design that perfectly matched her sparkling character.
A well-known sexologist, psychologist and powerful woman, Eveline chose a dress that emphasized her elegance and personality. Addy created a look for her that was both feminine and powerful. A combination in which she radiated self-confidence.
Stylish and understated chic. Deborah, Martijn Krabbé’s wife, chose a design that combines feminine elegance and timeless class. Addy’s creation for her proves that sometimes simplicity has the most eloquence.
Willian, the mother of singer Emma Heesters, was also dressed by Addy van den Krommenacker for the Golden Televizier-Ring Gala. A beautiful appearance, stylish and dignified next to her famous daughter. Her look proved that class and charm are timeless.
The silver creation, richly detailed with shimmering accents and an elegant slit, highlights her stylish look. Together with designer Addy, she forms a beautiful duo that exudes class and craftsmanship.
Mariska Bauer shone on the blue carpet in a striking green dress by Addy. The glittery fabric and elegant shape emphasized her stylish look and made her a real eye-catcher of the evening.
Petra opted for a bold and modern look in a shiny metallic pantsuit. The clean lines and structured cut gave her outfit a powerful look, while the satin-like fabric added a touch of elegance. With her minimalist accessories and confident attitude, she exuded pure class.
Lieske beamed on the blue carpet in a timeless, elegant creation by Addy. Her pale blue, glossy top with voluminous bow and lace detail, combined with a richly embroidered skirt in floral patterns, gave her a regal look. The look exuded class and confidence, a perfect reflection of her warm, bubbly personality.
For Renske, Addy designed a contemporary and elegant look with a touch of romance. The combination of the sparkling top and flowing pants exudes confidence and class, perfectly balanced with her open and cheerful look. An outfit that shows that modern and feminine can effortlessly go hand in hand.
Magda shone in a distinct design full of character. The shiny fabric and sophisticated details reflected her boldness and zest for life. A powerful look in which Addy’s craftsmanship was evident.

Are you planning your wedding and looking for the latest bridal fashion trends for 2026? Then you’ve come to the right place! The new season brings fresh ideas for your dream dress – striking 3D elements, simple lines and historical influences. We interviewed our stylists and asked them about the trends of 2026. In this article we will show you the most important trends as well as give you 3 valuable styling tips from the professionals so that you will shine on your big day – from top to veil.

Large details such as flowers or oversized 3D elements and ruffles are the eye-catchers in 2026. These elements are stylishly draped and often adorn the entire skirt, creating an opulent, impressive look. However, these elegant, large appliques are also very popular on the sleeves or in the décolletage. An all in all striking and elegant look for confident brides who love to be the center of attention.
At the same time, the opposite is also totally in: simplicity. This trend appeals to brides who love a minimalist style. Clean lines, pure elegance with no frills or embellishments – just a beautiful fabric that falls beautifully and molds to the body. For women who want to shine in simplicity and have a sophisticated look, this is the trend of 2026.
An absolute favorite among the 2026 bridal fashion trends is the boning bodice that comes together at the front in an elegant V-shape. This classic, charming style not only offers perfect support, but also creates a beautifully feminine silhouette. The skirt underneath can flare wide, but can just as easily fit tightly. Moreover, this look is often offered as a two-piece outfit.
There are so many amazing wedding dresses and designs out there that while looking for inspiration at home, some brides get a little lost in the selection – and end up not knowing exactly what they actually want. I understand that very well. Therefore my tip: if you no longer know what you do want, turn it around and collect what you definitely do not want. You will see that you can eliminate a lot by doing so. That clarity will bring you closer to your dream dress.
Every bride is different – and sometimes it’s not very easy to listen to your own feelings. From my experience as a bridal stylist, more entourage is not necessarily better: more people often means more opinions, and that actually makes it harder for brides to hear their own voices. That’s why I always advise my brides to think carefully about who you bring – choose people who really support you. It’s not about pleasing others. It’s your moment, your feelings and your dress.
On your wedding day itself, it’s best to start off strapless: no socks, no bra straps, avoid anything that can leave prints on your skin. This will ensure that you shine flawlessly in your wedding dress and that no distracting prints will show up on your skin in the photos. So during the “getting ready” moment, preferably wear a loose T-shirt or – even better – a spacious bathrobe. This will also ensure that your bridal makeup and hairstyle stay put when you get dressed.

We are curious to see how the brides of 2026 will give these beautiful trends their own personal twist.
The new 2026 collection will be available at Koonings from September 2025. Whichever 2026 bridal fashion trend you choose – with the right tips, the search for your perfect dress will be a unique moment, ensuring that you shine on your wedding day.

The world of luxury, ambition and friendship gets a Brabant and Limburg twist in The Real Housewives of the South. In this high-profile reality series, available exclusively on Videoland from April 18, 2025, we follow eight powerful and successful women who make their mark on the South of the Netherlands. From bustling businesses to exclusive parties and a hefty dose of drama-these ladies have it all. Meet the women behind the glitz and glamour!
Annu knows what enjoyment is. Engaged to two-star chef Soenil Bahadoer, she travels the world visiting the best restaurants. Luxury and hard work go hand in hand: this summer she and Soenil are running a food truck at festivals and together they are opening an exclusive restaurant in Gemert; GEM. While she is looking for her next dream house-will it be a villa or a penthouse-her love for champagne remains undiminished.
Brigitte leads a life of luxury in her beautiful villa in Belgium. For thirteen years she has been sharing her life with her partner. She herself runs an exclusive club in Weert. Sports, travel and designer shopping are her passion, but the arrival of her grandson has changed her outlook on shopping-now he is her favorite style icon. Strong, confident and with a keen sense of justice, Brigitte is a woman who enters a room and immediately grabs attention.
Chayenne stands her ground in the construction industry. With five branches and 150 employees, she runs her company with flair and finesse, without losing sight of her love of fashion and luxury. Her red soles on the construction site? No problem! In addition, she is a huge soccer fan-no PSV game passes her by. While working on an impressive acquisition in the U.S., she proves that women in the construction industry can not only keep up, but also take the lead.
With a background as a model and dermatology beautician, Estelle has turned her passion into a successful career. Together with her husband Rob, she runs a real estate company and invests in stocks and crypto. Meanwhile, they are working on their dream house in Heerlen. Estelle is ambitious, athletic and fond of exclusive events and luxury shopping trips. She is sociable and outspoken, and does not shy away from confrontation-provided it is conducted with respect.
Lizbeth combines her Mexican roots with a no-nonsense mentality and a hefty dose of entrepreneurship. She is committed to affordable housing in the Netherlands and helps investors with exclusive purchases in Spain, Dubai and Mexico. Whether sitting in a boardroom or enjoying the beach, Lizbeth moves effortlessly between the corporate and glamorous worlds. Together with her husband and children, she enjoys life in their self-designed villa in Brabant.
Marjan is a woman who breathes fashion. With her own designs and a lifestyle full of luxury-from real estate and boats to an exclusive dating website for millionaires-she is known as the Coco Chanel of the South. Between her villas in Belgium and Florida, she always finds time to celebrate life. She brings dynamism to the group and is not afraid to speak her mind, but in the end she is the one who makes sure the folds are smoothed out again.
Petrouschka’s life revolves around her family, luxury and a hefty dose of extravagant entertainment. She manages a real estate portfolio, but her greatest pride is daughter Valentina, a young influencer and talent in equestrian sports. Together they travel the Benelux for competitions. And yes, that includes oysters, champagne and designer outfits. With exotic animals like zebras and alpacas in her backyard, Petrouschka makes sure her life is never boring.
Ramona is the driving force behind Koonings, the largest bridal boutique in the world. She took over her business at age 17 and continues to expand, with the latest addition being Kasteel Oost in Valkenburg, where she is creating a wedding venue, hotel and restaurant.

Known from Say Yes to the Dress and Married at First Sight, Ramona brings a hefty dose of flair and ambition to The Real Housewives of the South.
