Spring 2023 Bridal Fashion Trends Straight from the Runways

After taking a two-year pandemic hiatus from in-person, Bridal Fashion Week was back in New York City, and it felt amazing to be in the same room as these gorgeous outfits once again.

Designers did not hold back, welcoming the return with looks that had us swooning. And while it's almost impossible to pick a favorite, five strong trends surfaced from these collections that make us really excited for 2023 aisle style.

Blue Tones

For 2023, we're going from blush to blue on the It color of the year, and it feels oh-so-refreshing. We love this spin on the “something blue.” Spotted at: Ines Di Santo, Nadia Manjarrez, Sareh Nouri | Photo credit: Kim-Trang Photography

Little Bow Details

The last few seasons have delightfully given us big bow embellishments (and we're still so here for it!), but this season, we saw the styles shrink down to sweet tiny bow details.

Florals

To channel my inner Miranda Priestley, “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” But truly, in our wedding world, they are, especially in the form that designers brought to their spring 2023 collections through hand-painted details, embroidery, 3-D appliques, and more.

Puff Sleeves

Retro is back, and puffed sleeves are showing up in a variety of ways: see-through tulle, detachable, off-the-shoulder, embellished. Regardless of how you flaunt it, you're sure to make a statement.

Bubble Skirts

Another throwback? Bubble skirts! This early-aughts trend is resurfacing in both short and long lengths.
