The Lunar New Year begins on Wednesday, January 29th this year. And 2025 marks the Year of the Snake. Last year it was the Year of the Dragon, and 2026 will be the Year of the Horse.

Lunar Zodiac Signs And Your Bridal Style

The Rat

Glam and class all the way

Rats were born in 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, and 2008. They are typically creative folks with a side of class. If you’re a Rat, then you’re probably a glamorous, chic, and stylish person who loves trying new things.

The Rat Sign fashion styles are fun-loving and they love playing with a bit of color. When it comes to their wedding dress style, Rats should check out a dress with 3D florals. This inventive gown trend is the perfect way to add pops of color to a bridal style while playing with beautiful types of fabric. Need more inspiration? Gorgeous gowns like these boldly challenge the more traditional look of the white wedding dress and add some fun color play to your bridal look.

The Ox

Classic & conservative brides

If you were born in 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, and 2009 then you’re an Ox. The Ox is a thoughtful soul. Conservative and super observant, Oxes are the type to have their eye on timeless and carefully-made pieces to fill their wardrobe. This knack for delicacy also translates to their personal wedding dress style.

When shopping for a wedding dress, the Ox should go for a gown made from quality material that's made to last. Think silk and satin dress fabrics, not synthetic. Ordering a wedding dress online as a last-minute deal might not be the best idea here. Instead, give yourself more time to shop for a well-made designer gown that ticks all the boxes so that all your inner Ox can shine bright on your wedding day.

Wedding dresses created by world renowned designers like Maggie Sottero, Jenny Yoo, and Justin Alexander are just some of the well-made preowned designer gowns that we routinely carry at our bridal shop.

The Tiger

The trendsetter bride

This is the sign for those born in 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010. We’re just gonna say it, Tigers are total fashionistas. Trendsetters at heart, the Tiger Lunar Zodiac Sign has a stylish soul that craves the latest trends in bridal and beyond.

Being bold and brave as a Tiger bride, it’s time to make a statement with your bridal gown look. If you haven't checked one out already, let us introduce you to the black wedding dress. The black wedding dress was one of the latest wedding dress trends in 2024 and it's still trending in 2025. Aren't into the black dress? Try a gown that breaks from the pure white dress or ivory tradition and play with the idea of a deep shade of champagne or pink when shopping for your wedding dress this year.

The Rabbit

Fun and feminine bridal style

Born in 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999 and 2011, Rabbits are one of the more playful personalities of the Lunar Zodiac.

Rabbits can effortlessly flaunt their style. If you’re a Rabbit, try experimenting by adding some feminine elements to your bridal gown look. To do this, you can go with a minimalist gown (we’re thinking something sleeveless, simple, and just oh-so-chic), or go total boho-glam and flaunt a fabulous flower crown.

For Rabbit brides it’s also all about the details, so pick your perfect bridal accessories with lots of care and love. Remember that less is sometimes more, so each piece of jewelry, your wedding shoes, and your bridal head wear is your way of letting your unique personality shine through on this day.

The Dragon

Bridal gowns that make bold statements

Dragon Lunar Zodiac Sign years are 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, and 2012. Like Tigers on the Lunar Zodiac, Dragons are bold and trendy while also being a trendsetter themselves.

If you're a Dragon sign, you'll easily be able to pull off an edgy off-the-shoulder wedding gown that you can dress up to the nines. Another type of bridal gown that could really work for you feisty Dragons is a Renaissance-style gown just like this one.

A Dragon's "lucky colors" are said to be gold and silver, which means that you can really complete your bridal look with a sparkly pair of earrings and a classic necklace. Go even further and add some embellished gloves as the ultimate accessory to your gorgeous off-the-shoulder bridal gown.

The Snake

Go all out with a bridal gown look that's a total class act

It's almost arrived, the Year of the Snake 2025! You're a snake if you were born in the years 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, or 2013.

Classy souls, Snakes are just bursting with style. When it comes to their bridal gown, Snakes can go all out with the ultimate classic bridal look and a side of Hollywood glam.

To channel your inner Snake, opt for a show-stopping bridal veil or a detailed chapel-length train that your guests will be talking about for months. We recommend going for lots of lace and a unique floral arrangement, so you can really jazz up your bridal gown look while keeping that classic edge as you walk down the aisle.

The Horse

Energetic and cool bridal style

If you were born in 1966, 1978, 1990, or 2002, then you're a Horse on the Lunar Zodiac.

Their super cool demeanor flows best in colder temperatures, so a Horse can really make for a perfect fall or winter bride. Being a winter bride also means they will need some layers to go with their wedding gown. If this is you, be on the lookout for consignment bridal accessories like an embroidered bridal jacket to pair with your dream dress.

Everyone loves the Horse, and if this is your Lunar Sign then you’ll be welcomed in pretty much any gown that you choose to wear for your wedding day. Engaging and elegant, a Horse bride can really jump between different types of bridal fashion trends.

The Sheep

A more simple bridal gown look  

Sheeps were born in 1967, 1979, 1991, and 2003. The Sheep or Goat Lunar Zodiac Sign lives to be in sync. Peace and harmony is their love language, making them more in tune with the natural world and their surroundings.

When it comes to their bridal fashion sense, a Sheep can easily express themselves without having to make a big fuss. If you’re a Sheep sign, a classic and complementary mermaid wedding dress might just be the right pick for you. We love the sensuous simplicity of a mermaid-style gown like this one!

The Monkey

The party bride

The Lunar Zodiac Sign for the years 1968, 1980, 1992, and 2004. Monkeys are known for not being shy, and are always looking for fun around every corner.

Are you a Monkey? Lucky you, because a good time is never too far away. With playful, big personalities, Monkeys are truly the party-time bride.

If you're a Monkey and trying to find your ultimate bridal gown style, go for a flowing backless wedding dress, followed by sparkling bridal accessories and accents. And make sure to wear a big pair of bridal heels for the first half of your wedding day, before you’ll inevitably be going barefoot at the reception so you can tear up the dance floor.

The Rooster

Bright and distinctive bridal gown style

Roosters on the Lunar Zodiac were born in the years 1969, 1981, 1993, and 2005. Early birds and always on schedule, the Rooster is the hard worker with multiple talents. If you're a Rooster sign, then you're most probably a bit of a diva. While you aren’t necessarily the trendy type when it comes to fashion, you love being distinctive.

If you haven’t already designed and sewn up your own bridal gown for your wedding day, then we recommend all you Roosters out there check out different types of A-line wedding dresses. These types of gowns will help you flaunt your gorgeous figure so you can effortlessly show your true personality. This bride wearing a fishtail braid paired with floral hair accessories is a great example of how Roosters can express their individuality through their bridal style.

The Dog

Minimalist & individualistic bride

Those persons born in 1970, 1982, 1994, or 2006 are Dogs on the Lunar Zodiac calendar. This probably won't be a surprise to anyone, Dog signs are the kindest and gentlest souls of the Lunar Zodiac. They are loving to the ones whom they hold dearest.

When it comes to their bridal gown style, Dog Signs are minimalist and also unconventional. While they like keeping things simple, they also want all eyes of them (and their beautiful gown) on their wedding day.

For Dog Sign brides, we say go for a sleeveless wedding gown with some intricate details to keep your onlookers inspired. This type of wedding dress is a real showstopper without being too too much, which makes for a more classic bridal gown look.

The Pig

Sexy, chic brides

Dive into what it means to be a Pig if you were born in 1971, 1983, 1995, or 2007.
