The Next Chapter, the new Fall 2026 collection from Locket (formerly WTOO), debuts as Watters celebrates its 40th anniversary later this year.
The collection mixes clean, classic shapes with softer draping, unexpected details and a slightly more fashion-forward feel. It still has the romantic elements brides come to the brand for, but with a fresher, more modern perspective.
The idea behind The Next Chapter also felt especially fitting for the moment, speaking to both the evolution of the brand and the more personal way brides are approaching wedding style today.
I interviewed Watters’ Style Director Sydney Watters about the accessories that accompany Locket’s Fall 2026 collection. She details each accessory from sleeves to veils to scarves.
Watters explains that “Locket accessories are an easy way to make each gown feel more personal and customized, whether a bride wants an exact match, a little extra coverage, a touch of sparkle or a styling detail that feels completely her own.”
She further explains, “Because many of the pieces were designed alongside the gowns, the lace, beading and textures feel intentional.”
Santi: Sleeves + Choker + Veil
One of our favorite examples is Santi. With matching sleeves, a choker and a breathtaking full lace veil, she becomes this complete world of her own. Each piece can stand alone, but together they create a true custom bridal moment.
Greyson: Veil
Greyson’s veil is pure romance, with bows dotted down the center from top to hem. It is playful, feminine and incredibly memorable without feeling overdone.
Beck: Sleeves
The Beck sleeves are a perfect example of beauty meeting ease. The stretch mesh adds that soft little scrunch of coverage brides love, while still allowing them to move, hug, dance and feel like themselves.
Nedra: Veil
Nedra’s veil is made for a goddess. The beading catches the light in the most magical way and brings this incredible sparkle that feels dramatic, but still refined.
Fonteyn: Scarf
Our scarves are another favorite styling tool because they open so many possibilities. Brides can pair them with their exact matching gown or use them to add contrast, softness, or a little extra personality to another look. Fonteyn is especially beautiful, with floral detailing at the neck that feels delicate, romantic and considered.
Concluding Thoughts
The best part about Locket accessories is how easy they make it for a bride to personalize her gown and can completely shift the feeling of a dress, whether she wants more romance, more coverage, more drama or just that final detail that makes everything sing together.
They give stylist a beautiful way to use the collection and give brides that “this was made for me” feeling.
