After two years of Zoom weddings or small local gatherings, wedding dress trends have adapted to in-person events returning. As a result, bridal trends are no longer pared back and limited to minis or simple silhouettes like slip dresses. Instead, they are now beginning to channel the glamour traditionally associated with weddings. Bridal designers are adopting a maximalist attitude to meet the moment, crafting extravagant styles that pack allure and drama for brides-to-be.

During New York Bridal Fashion Week, all-over lace cutouts, voluminous gowns, and dramatic trains and veils reigned supreme. The latest bridal designs are as chic as they are opulent, with intricate details such as floral appliqués, oversized bows, beads, and fringe adorning veils, bodices, and hems. These sumptuous embellishments prove that the influence of popular period dramas like “Bridgerton” and “The Gilded Age” is clearly visible on the bridal runway. One-shoulder gowns are set to be a favorite silhouette for the forthcoming wedding season, with brands like THEIA introducing asymmetrical silhouettes that incorporate unexpected details like cutouts and gilded embellishments.

In some cases, designers combined two or more of these trends for maximum visual impact. Case in point: Mira Zwillinger’s sheer one-shoulder embellished gown is a masterclass in nailing multiple techniques. Elsewhere, some wedding-ready dresses favor short hemlines over conventional ones, notably with THEIA’s festive fringe number or Costarellos’ off-the-shoulder mini design.
No matter your personal style, today’s brides have plenty of inspiration to choose from so they can wow everyone on their special day. Read on for the top five bridal trends from the spring 2023 collections:
