Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Inbal Dror, and Elie Saab start a list of designers who just revealed their latest creations at Bridal Fashion Week Fall 2019. Showcasing various styles ranging from fairytale ball gowns to arresting mermaid silhouettes to dazzling beaded frocks, these were some of our favorite collections yet. We’re still trying to catch our breath from all the prettiness! And you don’t have to be planning a wedding anytime soon to appreciate the beauty, attention to detail, and artistry of these dresses.
Wedding fashion is a favorite topic of conversation in the Bride & Blossom showroom (after flowers of course!). We always love hearing the story behind the dress from our brides. So we thought it would be fun to share our top bridal looks for the upcoming season.

Inbal Dror – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
Inbal Dror strikes the perfect balance between classic and sexy, and this fit-and-flare gown was a favorite. The attention to detail observed in the crystal embellishments, faultless construction, and dramatic silhouette takes my breath away. The beach is my favorite to be. The fact that this collection was inspired by the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea made me love it all the more.
Galia Lahav – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
Galia Lahav epitomizes romantic glamour and this latest collection did not disappoint. With its exquisite lace and beaded accents, this trumpet gown is perfection in my book. The delicate, whispery sleeves are a wonderful surprise and bring a sense of enchanted elegance to the look.
Temperley London – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
We’ve done weddings at smaller restaurant venues and they tend to have a more intimate and relaxed vibe. This gorgeous number from Temperley London is perfect for such an occasion. The graceful flutter sleeves and sequins are striking, yet a little flirty. And the swing of that skirt means only one thing – this dress was made for dancing!

Cushnie – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
Equal parts alluring and elegant, this sleek column gown by one of my favorite ready-to-wear designers Carly Cushnie immediately caught my eye. I love the sexiness of the plunging neckline and side cutouts combined with the demure high neck and long sleeves. I can see a fall or winter bride wearing this down the aisle under a modern and elegant copper and greenery arch, in an intimate evening ceremony!

Reem Acra – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
I obviously have a thing for veils. Reem Acra’s collection was brimming with the most exquisite veils, appliqued with all sorts of interesting textures and materials. This floral embroidered A-line gown is the pinnacle of drop-dead-look-at-me-

Temperley London – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
The 1920s are my favorite fashion era. Tempereley London’s vintage inspired collection had me seeing stars – literally. I especially love the celestial ornamentation of this gown. The sparkling accents against the gorgeous silk and tulle fabric are the perfect marriage of glamour and elegance. The subtle train may not be completely favorable for dancing. But, I have a feeling this bride isn’t going to let that stop her from having a good time!
Vera Wang – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
For her latest collection, Vera Wang sought inspiration in the gilt and opulence of King Louis XIV. Gowns were spun from layer upon layer of magnificent tulle adorned with metallic and Chantilly lace. Stately and enchanting with hints of a modern sensibility, the designer’s avant-garde designs bring a breath of fresh air to bridal fashion. Not everyone dreams of wearing white – these gilded dresses are for the bride who wants to command the room’s full attention.
Elie Saab – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
Trimmed with dazzling crystal detailing and intricate lace embroidery, Ellie Saab’s latest collection looked straight out of fairytale. And this stunning dress makes me want to be princess for a day. Simple and understated for a tulle ball gown, the silhouette acts as a canvas to show off the cascading beaded embellishment. The belt adds a sophisticated touch for today’s modern bride.
Reem Acra – Wedding Dress – Fall Bridal Collection 2019 – via vogue.com
I am always drawn to the romantic, ethereal aesthetic that has come to define Reem Acra. The designer had a lot of showstopping looks, but this diaphanous, flowing gown caught my eye. The way the beautiful floral lace of the top evaporates as it descends down into the skirt is breathtaking. The pretty pastel flowers of the veil make me think of that light, fresh feeling that comes with spring. This dress would stun at a woodland wedding in Upstate New York or at one of the city’s botanical gardens.
Gorgeous, elegant, and striking, these collections are what wedding dreams are made of. We can’t wait to see our brides wearing these dresses on their big day!
