New York Bridal Fashion Week, Spring 2023: The Recap

Hello and happy April! It has been a whirlwind of opportunity, work and travel lately and we wanted to bring all of the latest to you from NY Bridal Fashion Week! You can read all about fashion week here in one of our past posts about this week of glam. Essentially, twice-a-year, wedding gown and fashion designers from all over the world gather in New York to kickoff presenting their collections. This is followed by a week in Barcelona and then Milan. I was able to attend Barcelona as well and will share more on that soon! For now, back to the big apple and these gorgeous gowns!

From ballgowns to gloves to lace and texture there were so many elements that I saw and loved. Designers are still bringing color to the forefront of bridal and I cannot get enough (I wore color at my own wedding which you can see here!). I loved seeing details like little bows and beading and of course all of the gorgeous lace – seeing this many gowns in such a short time sends the senses into a delightful overdrive!

Some of my favorite collections are included below so take a look at let us know what your favorites are!
