Volume, embroidery, lace and veils: New York Bridal Fashion Week was alive with elegant looks for spring/summer 2024. While wedding season may be coming to a close for a while in New Zealand, Bridal Fashion Week delivers us a bi-annual assortment of the latest bridal styles to give us our fill of frills. While classic silhouettes were spotted among the bridal collections this week, some designers were seemingly opting for less traditional styles as high-volume dresses and bridal suiting made appearances on the runway.
Whether you’re a bride-to-be on the hunt for your dream dress, or simply love getting your fix of the newest bridal trends, we’ve picked out 8 of our top aisle-worthy looks from New York Bridal Fashion Week for you to feast your eyes on.
1. A pop of colour
For the daring bride looking to deviate from an all-white dress for their special day, this high-volume floral number is a striking contender.
2. Terrific tulle
Featuring a stunning combination of tulle and embroidery, this strapless gown has a structured bodice that elegantly highlights the waist and décolletage.
3. Victorian-chic
Exuding effortless Victorian elegance, this high neck ensemble features elements of modernity through its large floral detailing and teal-toned veil.
4. Florals on florals
Classic and graceful, this scoop neck Mira Zwillinger style gives you the best of both worlds with the addition of floral cut-out sleeves.
5. All drama
Sometimes more is more, which can definitely be said for this Madeline Gardner gown. Featuring an exaggerated silhouette complete with rosettes, sequins and bead detailing, this dress is a must for those with a flair for the dramatic.
6. Suit up
We love an unconventional bridal look, especially when it involves a power suit. This straight-cut white set with a sheer structured bodice strikes the perfect balance between strong and sexy. Better yet, you can go on wearing it for years to come!
7. Short-style
Since Kourtney Kardashian got married last year in a thigh-skimming mini from Dolce and Gabbana, there has undoubtedly been an upward trend in short-style wedding dresses. This sweet and simple floral mini provides a multitude of styling options for the modern bride wanting something a little different.
8. Champagne pink
Who said you have to wear white on your wedding day? This blush ensemble from designer Kelly Faetanini is a head turner, thanks to its dramatic ruffle train and rosy gradient.
