New York Bridal Market Spring 2020 Recap {and Top Bridal Trends for 2019/20}

25/04/2019 by Emily Sacharin

Hello from New York! Emily here, reporting back from New York Bridal Fashion week on all the hottest Spring/Summer 2020 collections.

Bridal Market happens twice a year in NYC, in April and October (you can check out my recap of last October’s highlights here).

The April show is known for being a little lower-key than October’s, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t tons of fantastic new looks on display.

Because there definitely were.

Spring 2020 is looking to be a season of extremes, with clean hyper-minimalist gowns vying with some of the most opulent dresses you could ask for, dainty feminist looks like puffed sleeves and bows neck and neck with androgynous pieces like pants (and even shorts!) and fitted jackets.

When the looks are simple, they’re very, very sleek, and when they’re ornate they’re adorned with an ever-expanding range of playful details like 3D florals and celestial motifs.

Basically, whatever you’re into, chances are there’s a wedding dress that’ll tick your boxes coming to a bridal boutique near you.

Probably a whole bunch of them.

3d Florals

We’ve been seeing 3D florals everywhere this year, from stationery to jewelry and beyond.

And they are all over the S/S 2020 bridal collections – such a fun way to add that little pop of distinction to your bridal style.

Seeing Stars

It’s not just florals making a smash on the catwalk this season – celestial motifs like stars, moons, and suns are popping up more and more, and personally I’m loving it.

They’re a great, unexpected alternative to your typical bridal adornments.

Put a Bow on It

Bows are all over the place this season – big or little, bustle or neckline, they’re the accent of the season.

Off the Shoulder

Okay, so maybe calling this one a trend is pushing it a little – I mean, when is off-the-shoulder out?

It’s such a flattering style, and there’s something undeniably sexy about it, without requiring you to show too much skin.

That said, elegant off-the-shoulder styles are more prevalent than ever this season, and I’m here for it.


Something Blue

By now it’s old news that blush is the new white when it comes to bridal, and we’re still seeing lots of that this season – but we’re also starting to see more and more shades of blue. I know it sounds a little out there, but you might change your mind after seeing some of the beauties from the new season’s collections.

Minimalism

It seems the Meghan Markle effect is still going strong.

Minimalist chic styles are still on trend this season, perhaps thanks in part to the Duchess of Sussex’s strikingly simple choice of gown.

Whether you’re looking to go classic or modern, there’s a minimalist gown for you this season.

Maximalism

Or maybe you’re looking to the opposite end of spectrum?

So are some of our favorite designers – in some instances, the same ones who’ve hopped on the minimalist bandwagon.

When dresses aren’t super simple, they’re trending toward the orante and opulent – we’re talking serious showstoppers.

Jackets

One cool chuppah coverup idea I’m starting to see more and more of is structured jackets.

They’re definitely an unexpected choice, but such a great juxtaposition to an ultra-feminine gowns.

Puff Sleeves

On the other hand, dainty, feminine details are rocking the runaways too – puff sleeves being a prime example.
