Bridal Fashion Trend Report From NYBFW

NYBFW

If you follow us on Instagram or TikTok, you most likely have seen some behind the scenes of our recent trip to New York Bridal Fashion week. A fast-paced few days of non-stop bridal previews, pristine up close looks at styles by our favorite designers, and exciting new sample purchases (most of which will be arriving in our boutiques come Fall). If you're a 2022 or 2023 bride or just love wedding fashion predictions, here's our NYBFW Trend Report.

2022 and 2023 BRIDAL TRENDS

We asked our team what hot bridal trends we can expect in 2023 and if they think these wedding dress trends are here to stay or just a fad.
Here's their bridal fashion hot takes.

SLEEVES

From long sleeve wedding dresses to unique removable sheer sleeves, wedding dress designs seem to be having a sleeve resurgence.

"It's all about the sleeve! I loved seeing sleeves ranging from a good strong shoulder puff sleeve to the more airy balloon sleeve." - CEO + Founder, Anna Walsh

"A LOT of fun sleeves this season. Lots of billowy sleeves, puffy shoulders, or vintage sleeves; almost every designer is launching one of those styles this season." - a&bé Sacramento Shop Manager, Christine Thomas

GLOVES

As regency era wedding dress details continue to grow in popularity, bridal gloves have come bounding to the fashion forefront.

"Covered in lace, studded with pearls and even fingerless - we're seeing the return of gloves. Cue Nicola Peltz for the ultimate glove inspiration." - CEO + Founder, Anna Walsh

"Bows and gloves are back!" - a&bé Sacramento Shop Manager, Christine Thomas

TEXTURED WEDDING DRESSES

Mixed materials are having a moment and dimensional fabrics + textured wedding dresses are something you'll be seeing more of very soon.

"Lots of floral appliqué. Mixes of crepe and lace. Lots of texture - from unique laces to embossed silk." - a&bé Denver Shop Manager, Allie Flores
