Brides today are looking for ways to make their wedding look unique, versatile, and personal. One of the biggest trends in modern bridal fashion is the rise of bridal overlay tops and wedding dress toppers - pieces that can completely transform a dress while keeping the look elegant and timeless.
At Story of My Dress, our Bloom Tops were designed with exactly this in mind. Crafted from delicate organza and lace, these romantic bridal overlay tops add softness, texture, and statement style to any wedding outfit. As with all SOMD designs they can be made in any of our fabrics.
Whether worn over a gown, paired with bridal separates, or styled for a second wedding look, the Bloom tops offer a beautiful way to personalise your bridal style.
The Organza Bloom Top: Light, Romantic & Modern
The organza Bloom top is a dreamy sheer bridal topper designed to float effortlessly over a dress.
Organza is loved in wedding fashion for its light, ethereal quality. The fabric creates a soft silhouette while still holding structure in the sleeves, giving the top its signature puff sleeve bridal look.
This makes it perfect for brides who love:
Statement sleeve wedding dresses
Minimalist bridal gowns with added detail
Modern bridal separates
Romantic wedding dress toppers
Worn over a strapless gown or simple dress, the organza Bloom top instantly adds dimension and softness to the overall bridal look.
Lace Bloom Tops: A Timeless Bridal Classic
For brides who love traditional romance, the lace Bloom top brings delicate texture and detail.
Lace has always been a favourite in bridal fashion, and when used in a wedding dress overlay top, it creates a beautiful layered effect.
The lace Bloom top works beautifully with:
Simple satin wedding dresses
Minimalist bridal gowns
Modern bridal separates
Vintage-inspired wedding looks
The combination of lace, sheer fabric, and statement sleeves makes it both classic and contemporary.
What Is a Made-to-Order Wedding Dress?
A made-to-order wedding dress is ordered in a standard designer size after you try on a sample.
The designer produces the gown new for you, often ordered from a factory not based in the uk, but in the closest existing size on their size chart.
You are then charged for alterations which are then completed once the dress arrives to achieve the final fit.
Why Bridal Overlay Tops Are a Wedding Trend
More brides are choosing bridal overlay tops and wedding dress toppers because they offer incredible versatility.
A topper allows brides to create two wedding looks with one dress. Many choose to wear their topper during the ceremony for a romantic, elegant look, and then remove it for the reception to reveal a sleeker dress underneath.
This makes overlay tops perfect for:
Modern brides
Second wedding looks
Bridal outfit changes
Bridal separates styling
It’s a simple way to create variety without the need for a full second dress.
Statement Puff Sleeves for the Modern Bride
One of the most loved features of the Bloom tops is the dramatic puff sleeves.
Statement sleeves have become a huge trend in modern wedding dresses, offering a fashion-forward yet romantic aesthetic.
The soft volume creates movement and drama while the sheer fabrics keep the look light and bridal.
Bridal Separates: A Contemporary Wedding Look
The Bloom tops are also perfect for brides embracing bridal separates.
Many brides now choose to pair a bridal top with a wedding skirt, allowing them to create a completely custom wedding outfit.
This modern approach to bridal styling gives brides freedom to mix textures, silhouettes, and fabrics while keeping their look elegant and timeless.
