Spring bridal fashion never disappoints, and this season was no exception. From reimagined classics to bold new interpretations, the runway was filled with fresh takes on timeless elements and we captured it all! Dive into our four favorite trends from this season’s New York Bridal Fashion Week.
Lace
Designers embraced the fabric in all its forms, from full lace gowns to barely-there veils that whispered elegance. Anne Barge’s collection offered a timeless take on the trend, while Mira Zwillinger and Reem Acra explored a more dramatic edge to it. Lace proved once again that it’s the ideal mashup of class and contemporary flair in bridal fashion. A look that feels both rooted in romance and refreshingly modern.

Dimension
This season, we saw a variety of volume, layers, and sculptural accents. Gowns took on movement and depth and felt alive in motion down the runway. From the cascading, multi-layered creations in Mark Ingram’s collection to draping textural details from Ines di Santo, every gown felt intentional and dimensional. These gowns didn’t just make a statement, they brought drama and artistry to every step. See our favorite gowns below!
Basque Waist
This vintage-inspired silhouette look is making a comeback this spring, and designers are putting a modern twist on it. The basque waist, with its flattering, elongating shape, showed up in both classic and contemporary interpretations. Claire Pettibone leaned into timeless romance with a dreamy, heirloom-worthy gown, perfect for the traditional bride. Meanwhile, KYHA and WONA took a bold approach, reimagining the silhouette with clean lines and fashion-forward details. Whether paired with a voluminous puff skirt or a sleek, form-fitting design, the basque waist feels romantic, regal, and undeniably elegant. Here’s a closer look at the gowns taking on this trend!
Floral
And finally, one trend that surprised us in the best way: florals. While spring is undoubtedly the season for blooms, this year’s floral moments were in full flourish. Designers added soft, hand-embroidered petals all the way to bold 3D florals. Jenny Yoo designed a simple and romantic floral embroidered gown, while Galia Lahav brought bold, colorful florals to the table. This trend channels a fresh, garden-inspired aesthetic.
