Calling all Fall 2024 brides! We’ve scoured the runways of New York’s Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Week shows to bring you the latest trends that will elevate your upcoming nuptials. 

Whether it be adding a pop of color, playing with intricate textural details, or leaning into bold silhouettes and shapes; we’ve got you covered to ensure you are the epitome of a fashion-forward bride.

Take note of the vibrant reds, delicate baby pinks, and gorgeous golds; and up the ante with sheer and lace details. Sequins and fringe are always a good idea as are shapes adorned with ruffles, bubble hems, or commanding shoulders. Here are some of our favorite trends highlighted below.

Psst! Spring and summer brides, don’t be shy—we’ve also included our recommendations for incorporating and shopping these trends now.

1. Shades of Rouge

 

Red is certainly having a moment, making its mark on runways last season, this color isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. This season’s transition from fiery reds to rich burgundy is a testament to its lasting style power. 

Have your “lady in red moment,” or add a discrete pop as a nod to this rouge hued trend. Carolina Herrera also made the case for adding a red lip to complete any look.

2. Golden Hour

The runways were gilded in golden glamour this season, and why shouldn’t you be too on your big day? Make a statement with this trend that ensures every bride glows on her wedding day.

3. Ruffles & Frills

 

Not your average ruffle, this season celebrates oversized, mini, floaty, and asymmetrical frills that delicately cascade down skirts and bodices. These ruffles create movement and are ideal for brides seeking an ethereal quality.

4. Pretty in Pink

 

A departure from the Barbie-core craze, the FW24 season introduces a more subdued pink that exudes sophistication and femininity. Also aligned with the coquette trend, this pretty pastel pink is the perfect addition to your fall wedding wardrobe. And we love a pastel moment for fall, rather than your typical moodier colors.

5. Lovely Lace

Lace is always an enchanting mainstay in the bridal world with its feminine and dreamy quality. We love how it has been reinterpreted with a modern yet nostalgic twist this season. The allure of sheer fabrics and lace details adds a touch of timeless romance.

6. Seeing Sequins

For after-party fun, nothing beats a sequined frock. Designers pulled out all the stops this season, experimenting with colors, sequin sizes, and embellishments.

7. Fashionista Brides

Last, but certainly not least, we were thrilled by the myriad of brands gracing their runways with white and bridal-inspired gowns. For brides seeking a look that’s literally fresh off the runway, these selections are an absolute must.
