Last week, the bridal world came together for one of the most exciting New York Bridal Fashion Weeks in recent years. Designers showcased their fall 2024 collections with grand runway shows, packed presentations, and market showcases that highlighted the growing boom of the bridal industry—and clearly indicated that the bridal space is getting creative, with plenty of bold designs that push the envelope.

While each collection had its own signature, certain looks could be discovered consistently throughout the presentations. Want to know the biggest wedding dress trends for 2024? Read ahead to see what shined at the latest shows.

Floral Appliqués

While florals may be synonymous with spring, almost every fall collection brought in the motif in fresh ways. One particular standout trend was the use of appliqués to create unique 3D floral moments. From sweet rosettes at the bustlines of dresses at Alexandra Grecco to textural white and light green petals along a stunning column dress by Monique Lhuillier to grand organza additions in Milla Nova’s gender-neutral capes and jackets, these designs are proving that flowers are blooming in the wedding season ahead.
