Fall 2027 Wedding Dress Trends: 24 Looks from NY Bridal Fashion Week

The Fall/Winter 2027 bridal collections that debuted this October include stunning gowns, two-piece sets, mini dresses, veils, and accessories. From modern silhouettes to vintage-inspired styles, they offer inspiration for brides regardless of their budget or aesthetic.

Two top trends stood out this season: subtle basque waistlines and bold, sculpted hips. Designers also offered classic, sophisticated looks for the timeless bride in elegant laces, silk mikado, and more. For the modern bride, there were sheer body-hugging gowns, midriffs, trouser sets, and mini dresses for the after-party and beyond.

Below, we’ve rounded up 24 wedding dress trends from NYBFW Fall 2027, with three gowns from different designers to illustrate each one.

Fall 2027 Wedding Dress Trends

1. Halter Neckline Wedding Dresses

From high-neck halters to halter dresses with plunging necklines, this trend was seen in a huge number of collections, and it's likely here to stay.

Gowns: Arava Polak; Martina Liana Luxe; Heli Kalkstein

2. Floral Wedding Dresses & Appliqués

Whether you love bold graphic florals, mini flower accents, or three-dimensional floral appliqués, these looks show that florals aren’t just for spring.

Gowns: Sareh Nouri; Mira Zwillinger; Nardos

3. Sculptural Hips

Accentuated hips create a vintage-inspired silhouette that makes a statement.

Gowns: Heli Kalkstein; Alon Livné; Nadia Manjarrez

4. Lace Long-Sleeve Bridal Bodysuits

The high-neck, long-sleeve lace bodysuit appeared in a number of styles this season. It’s also easy to remove, which makes it a smart choice for an easy second look.

Gowns: Sareh Nouri; Lee Petra Grebenau; Arava Polak

5. Peplum Wedding Dresses

Subtle or bold, the bridal peplum is another take on the accentuated-hip trend, and it feels effortlessly feminine.

Gowns: Francesca Miranda; Alyne; Guillermo Pharis

6. Architectural Pleating

Pleated skirts have always been popular, but this season’s architectural pleating makes a statement all its own.

Gowns: Nadia Manjarrez; Alon Livné; Rivini

7. 1970s-Inspired

Looking for a ’70s feel? Designers showed disco-style dresses, sleek long-sleeved designs, and bell sleeves in elegant shades of powder blue.

Gowns: Watters; Claire Pettibone; By Watters

8. Ball Gown Wedding Dresses

Ball gowns reigned supreme this season. They’re perfect for the princess bride, whether or not she’s marrying in a castle.

Gowns: Wang Feng Couture; Rivini; Verdin

9. Bridal Capes

A cape makes a statement and gives you two looks in one. Choose from flowing fabrics, floral jacquards, or sculptural designs, depending on your aesthetic.

Gowns: Hera Couture; Francesca Miranda; Elie Saab

10. Beaded Wedding Dresses

It’s no surprise that the fall/winter collections had a bit of sparkle. These beaded bodices and skirts prove that a little glam goes a long way.

Gowns: Oksana Mukha; Idan Atelier; Julie Vino

11. High-Neck Wedding Dresses

Plunging necklines were the norm a few seasons ago; however, in recent years, brides have been choosing higher necklines instead. From modest to sexy, there’s a high-neck gown for every bride.

Gowns: Nardos; Lee Petra Grebenau; Jaclyn Whyte

12. Subtle Basque-Waist Wedding Dresses

Basque waists were incredibly popular over the last few seasons, and we still saw plenty of them for Fall 2027. Many designers, though, opted for a more subtle fade from bodice to skirt over a dramatic point.

Gowns: Idan Atelier; Arava Polak; Heli Kalkstein

13. Wedding Dresses with Back Details

This season, it’s all about the back. Look for peek-a-boo lace, beautiful bows, and open keyhole backs.

Gowns: Francesca Miranda; Julie Vino; Justin Alexander Signature

14. Bridal Boleros

This classic addition can be worn for the ceremony and removed for the reception, creating two looks in one.

Gowns: Ricca Sposa; Mark Ingram Bride; Julie Vino

15. Feather Wedding Dresses

Wear feathers as the main gown or as a chic after-party look. Either way, they add a playful touch to your wedding dress.

Gowns: Heli Kalkstein; Francesca Miranda; Elie Saab

16. High-Slit Wedding Dresses

For brides who want to show a little leg, high slits were very popular this season, on everything from lace gowns to sleek silhouettes.

Gowns: Julie Vino; Arava Polak; Alon Livné

17. Spaghetti-Strap Wedding Dresses

This ’90s favorite is back for wedding gowns. If you don’t want a thick strap, a sleeve, or a strapless look, consider a spaghetti-strap style.

Gowns: Mark Ingram Bride; Heli Kalkstein; Rivini

18. Drop-Waist Wedding Dresses

Sleek, sculptural, or feminine, drop waists appeared across many of the fall collections. Even if the look doesn’t seem like you, try on a range of silhouettes. Brides are often surprised by what they love!

Gowns: Arava Polak; Monique Lhuillier; Lee Petra Grebenau

19. Tulle Wedding Dresses

Ballerina-inspired gowns have been popular for several seasons, but this season, tulle became utterly dramatic. Expect large ball gown skirts and layered, tiered designs.

Gowns: Wang Feng Couture; House of Savin; Ines Di Santo

20. Lace Wedding Dresses

Lace is always a timeless choice. Choose a form-fitting lace gown, a classic lace A-line or ball gown, or a beautifully draped look.

Gowns: Galia Lahav; Anne Barge; Vivienne Westwood

21. Voluminous Wedding Dresses

Brides who want to make a statement will love this season’s voluminous silhouettes.

Gowns: All Who Wander; Sareh Nouri; Ines Di Santo

22. Mini Wedding Dresses

Eloping, planning an after-party, or changing for your reception? Almost every designer included a mini, from little lace looks to colorful designs with feathers.

Gowns: Wang Feng Couture; Francesca Miranda; Heli Kalkstein

23. Bridal Hats & Mini Veils

Whether you’re inspired by Dua Lipa or The Parent Trap, bridal hats are trending, as are birdcage and mini veils for a vintage-inspired look.

Gowns: Gala by Galia Lahav; Julie Vino; Caroline Castigliano

24. Two-Piece Bridal Sets with Trousers

For a bridal look that isn’t a dress at all, consider a two-piece set with a top and trousers.

Gowns: Mira Zwillinger; Francesca Miranda; OUMA
