Bridal Fashion Week was fully back in swing last week in New York with runway shows, private salon-style appointments, and cocktail parties. The biggest takeaway? Wedding style is getting more diverse each season as brides are saying yes to multiple outfits for their weekend festivities. There are classic tulle gowns and lace getups for the main event, of course, but what stood out were the unconventional bridal separates, fashion-forward silhouettes (drop-waist anyone?), and the range of options to choose from for every type of bride and every type of wedding.
The ultimate cool-girl brand Danielle Frankel introduced menswear for the first time; there were newcomers like Yellow by Sahar who turned to bridal after working for ready-to-wear designers like Thom Browne, Tory Burch, and Marc Jacobs; and, of course, the veterans like Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang who continue to build their cult following season after season. The highlight of the week was Meredith Stoecklein’s brand LEIN, which came back after a three-year hiatus. Stoecklein’s interpretation of courthouse ceremony and versatile second looks fill a gap in the current bridal market.
