As Brides editors, we're tasked with the assignment of attending New York Bridal Fashion twice a year. Meaning, we have the very exciting job of sitting at runway shows, attending showroom appointments, and meeting with designers to view the most beautiful wedding dresses firsthand.

For the Fall 2024 season, in particular, designers and brands completely exceeded our expectations, producing fresh, innovative, and bold garments brides will absolutely love. We specifically saw new trends pop up like reimagined bodices and 3D-embellished coats, and were in awe of the labor of love each designer put into their individual collections. Simply put, it was a standout season!

With all this in mind, there were a few pieces that undoubtedly caught our attention during this industry event. That's why we put together a roundup of our favorite looks from Fall 2024 Bridal Fashion Week. Read on to see who made the list.

"Pearls have been popular for the last few seasons, but I love the fresh approach Jenny Yoo took when adding them to the 'Morgan' wedding dress. Pairing the sheer illusion long sleeves with a sleek, simple sheath made for a fresh, modern take on the trend." - Gabriella Rello Duffy, Editorial Director

THEIA

"There's just something about this dress—the folded, slightly gathered neckline and the undone covered buttons at the sleeves, perhaps—that makes me think it will translate well in photos now and 50 years from now. The stretch crepe fabric is truly timeless and the asymmetrical twist train offers just the right touch of modernity. It's a gown that really does walk the contemporary and classic line that so many brides strive for." - Sarah Schreiber, Associate Editorial Director

"There's nothing more striking than a wedding-day look that completely breaks the rules, and this Milla Nova ensemble does just that. The gender-neutral, volumetric jacket is a moment on its own, but I especially love how the brand styled it with a sexy slip dress. Overall, it's a standout getup that many bold brides will certainly embrace this upcoming year" - Corinne Pierre-Louis, Senior Fashion Editor

Kaviar Gauche

"This strapless corseted jumpsuit by Kaviar Gauche is perfect for modern brides who want to make a chic statement during their wedding weekend. I love how versatile this jumpsuit is, and I can see brides wearing this silk-satin number to their rehearsal dinner, down the aisle, to city hall, or even to their reception." - Jessica Chassin Blaser, Senior Social Media Editor

"The minute I saw this Rime Arodaky set on the runway, I knew it would be one of my favorites of the season. They have taken silk and lace loungewear and turned them into a bold look, unlike anything I have seen in bridal lately. It's contemporary with endless fashion opportunities—you can dress it up with a pair of heels for your pre-wedding events, wear the lace undergarments on your wedding night, or dress it down with sneakers on your honeymoon—making it the coolest addition to your big-day wardrobe." - Araziel Jackson, Social Media Editor

"Corsets are everywhere this season, and I think this iteration from designer Nadia Manjarrez is such a whimsical and romantic take on the trend. I love how the bustier bodice has exposed boning and a deep V-neck that gives the dress a bold flair, while the all-over lace fabric and draped sleeves are the perfect contrast." - Lilly Blomquist, Assistant Editor

Kaviar Gauche

"I don't think I will ever tire of pearls. They're a classic wedding detail for a reason! I love the tiny iterations studded across the sleeves, bodice, and skirt of this feminine A-line—and would think that brides drawn to romantic, cottagecore silhouettes (but who want a little something extra) feel the same way." - Sarah Schreiber, Associate Editorial Director

Prea James Bridal

"I will forever be obsessed with a two-piece wedding look, especially when designers find new ways to reimagine traditional silhouettes. Specifically, this Prea James corset and skirt combo was a stunning find this season, given the curved neckline of the corset top and the twisted, high-waisted skirt." - Corinne Pierre-Louis, Senior Fashion Editor

"I can't stop thinking about this two-piece by Dana Harel. Is it the most practical bridal outfit? Not exactly. Is it insanely cool? Absolutely. Between the open-back and the low-rise skirt, this bold party look is right on trend. I can see a bride rocking this to her welcome party or after-party. Also, the mix-and-match opportunities are endless: Pair the top with white shorts or pants, and boom, you have a whole new look in your wedding wardrobe!" - Jessica Chassin Blaser, Senior Social Media Editor

"This two-piece set from Nadia Manjarrez proves that the peplum trend is indeed back, and I'm actually happy it has made its way to wedding fashion. The strapless top can be paired with a maxi or mini skirt made of Italian Duchess crepe for modular looks that are effortlessly chic. Elevated with one of 2024's biggest accessory trends, a flowing neck scarf, this ensemble is the epitome of modern and minimalist bridal." - Araziel Jackson, Social Media Editor

"While embellished wedding dresses are definitely popular choices for brides, there's something so elegant about a minimalist canvas. This satin wedding dress from Elie Saab's Fall 2024 collection is understated with its sleek texture, yet it still makes a statement with its meticulous pleating and sweeping train." - Lilly Blomquist, Assistant Editor
