Trends Since New York Bridal Fashion Week 2024
Since New York Bridal Fashion Week 2024, several notable trends have appeared. Here’s a breakdown of the key trends observed:
Past Styles and Shapes
- Basque Waists: Basque waists have emerged as a significant trend in wedding fashion. This style has a low front and volume at the hips, similar to the “stomacher & pannier” styles from the 18th century. Renowned designers like Justin Alexander, Anne Barge, Lara Knight, Lihi Hod, and Galia Lahav have included this trend in their collections. Their work highlights its widespread appeal.
Feel and Details
- Luxurious Feel and Detailed Designs: Spring/Summer 2025 trends feature detailed designs and luxurious textures to give a more high-end look. These elements are replacing simple fabrics. This move towards complexity and depth in fabric choice adds a rich feel to the gowns.
Romantic Touches
- Belts: Belts have made a stylish comeback, shaping silhouettes to create a flattering and romantic look. Whether the gown starts at the natural waist or dips lower, adding a belt enhances the overall romantic feel.
- Floral Embroidery and Lace Toppers: Delicate floral embroidery, particularly trailing vines, brought a whimsical touch to numerous gowns. Lace toppers, traditional yet stylish, added an elegant charm. Meanwhile, dramatic capes, an unexpected alternative to veils, highlighted the romantic theme even more.
Color and Uniqueness
- Colorful Bridal Gowns: There’s a rising trend of colorful bridal gowns, departing from the conventional white. Shades of blush and champagne are becoming increasingly popular. This shift mirrors a growing inclination towards individuality and craftsmanship in bridal wear.
- Short Hemlines and Statement Accessories: Prominent features of bridal fashion now include shorter hemlines and statement accessories. Bold headpieces, in particular, allow brides to display their unique style and confidence.
Modern Style
- Pleated Skirts and Bold Statements: Designers added pleated skirts to bridal ensembles in traditional and modern styles. They blended classic customs with contemporary fashion, adding a versatile touch. Also, short dress lengths and standout accessories added a bold, modern twist to wedding fashion.
The bridal fashion scene is constantly changing with a mix of old and new styles, focusing on personal expression.
