Bridal Fashion Week kicks off today in New York City, which means drool-worthy wedding gowns are about to hit the runways and set the stage for a new crop of covetable bridal trends. To get a head start, we asked Abby Larson—founder and editor of Style Me Pretty, the ultimate source for dreamy big-day inspiration—to give us a sneak preview of all the most stunning, statement-making wedding trends that are sure to dominate the fall-winter season.
1. Bridal Booties: They're chic, modern and comfortable to boot. We're loving a resurgence of the ultimate fall footwear.
2. Two-Piece Wedding Dresses: Brides are forgoing traditional one-piece dresses and opting for fashion-forward two piece stunners. These looks are modern, chic and a bit sexy in the most elegant way.
3. Tiaras (To Unleash Your Inner Princess): Who says you have to be royalty to rock a tiara? We're loving how brides are incorporating sparkle on their big day.
4. Gilded Desserts: Gold has gone glam and we're loving every second of it. Next stop—gilded cakes!
5. Decadent Cheese "Cakes": So long sweet, hello savory! Greet guests with tiers of cheese.
6. Move Aside Marsala, Meet Maroon: Rich hues of this seasonal color are sure to pop up this season.
7. Tuscany-Inspired Details: We're seeing olive branches extend beyond the grove, and from bouquets to cake details this is a trend we're loving for fall.
8. Fruity Embellishments: Edible arrangements find meaning with this new trend and we're loving this fresh take on incorporating seasonal elements.
9. Organic Seating Charts & Place Cards: Tuck foliage, moss and earthy blooms into your seating chart and place cards—a beautiful way to incorporate a seasonal touch to your fall or winter fête.
10. Romantic Indoor Receptions: Step aside al fresco, our eyes are on beautiful indoor receptions that radiate candlelight, rich hues and cozy vibes.
