Our Favorite Wedding Dresses from Spring 2023 Bridal Fashion Week

In some ways, Spring 2023 Bridal Fashion Week—which unfolded all over New York City—felt like a reemergence. The first series of in-person fashion presentations and shows in just over two years, this market couldn't have come during a better time: at the dawn of spring. It was a fresh start—and, ultimately, there is no better way to kick off the season than by seeing what's new in the world of wedding dresses—which in turn inspire a bride's vision for the start of her own new beginning.

That's where we come in. To give you a sense of the gowns that will be available in the months to come, as well as the new trends to look out for (if you're so inclined) we combed through all of your favorite designers' brand-new oeuvres and we're spotlighting the garments we think are a cut above the rest. As you're about to discover, designers celebrated the return to the runway with extraordinary design: the beading is more intricate, the 3D appliqués are more voluminous, and the silhouettes are sleeker. Needless to say, these gowns are wedding boom-ready.

Though there is something for every bride on the slides ahead—where you can find stand-out pieces from lauded fashion houses like Amsale, Elie Saab, Monique Lhuillier, and Sareh Nouri—you'll quickly notice a few connective trends. Asymmetrical, one-shoulder necklines have made a comeback—and botanical motifs (think vine-like embroidery and floral lace) are a season mainstay. Fads aside, these wedding dresses are, on the whole, timeless—whether you're a modern woman of the hour or someone who prefers a more classic look, you're sure to find a wedding dress you love.
