We can’t believe it, but another New York Bridal Fashion Week has come to a close. This year was a bit different, as designers began to finally show their collections in person after two years of virtual appointments and runways. As we returned to a slight sense of normalcy, we also experienced a new batch of remarkable looks, from both renowned designers and emerging brands who are making a name for themselves within the bridalwear space.

Brands like Elie Saab, Amsale, and Monique Lhuillier showcased jaw-dropping ballgowns, paying homage to traditional trends that will forever be here to stay within wedding fashion. We also continued to see a surge of contemporary designs like mini dresses, colorful gowns, and modern separates, from Rosie Assoulin, Scorcesa, Safiyaa, and Nadia Manjarrez Studio. But even with a diverse range of styles presented this market season, one common theme we can surely agree on is that the bridal industry has openly embraced change. There are more looks now, than ever before, that cater to brides of all aesthetics.

Ahead are the top nine trends from the Spring 2023 collections. For those currently engaged and searching for the perfect wedding look, be sure to take notes!

 

Blue Hues

Blue is the new pink. For years we’ve seen various iterations of pink wedding gowns, but this season signaled a change and the color blue was center stage. Amsale, Ines Di Santo, and Nadia Manjarrez Studio all took a chance by constructing gorgeous blue gowns fit for any bridal celebration.
