Detachable Everything
Probably the most prominent Spring 2024 trend was detachable everything, creating versatility and exciting changes to your wedding gown for the ceremony and reception.
Sleeves
You may have seen detachable sleeves on designer dresses and even on the high street now. However, this trend is also huge in bridal fashion. Theatrical sleeves add interest and drama to any dress. Sleeves can be long and sheer or short and puffy like Julie Vino’s which creates a simple way to alter your outfit for your reception.
Straps
One of the newer adaptations of sleeves was simply straps. Badgley Mischka’s beautiful flower bridal dress features removable straps, so you can wear the bridal dress with straps or without. The straps themselves are not always simple, we saw pretty 3D small flowers as well as dramatic larger flower straps featured on many dresses.
Capes
Perhaps influenced by Bridgerton, where the regal ladies adore fashionable capes, we do see this trend continuing into 2024. Capes can be minimal like Ines Di Santo's elegant simplistic cape or go bold with sheer, or even decorated capes with pearls and 3D flowers.
3-in-1 Dresses
Rebel against fast fashion and buy one dress for three occasions. We saw designers elaborately create bridal dresses that go from a maxi dress to a mini dress to a jumpsuit with easy detachable trains and skirts. We loved Rita Vinieris's take on this trend with a convertible long-sleeved tulle ball gown that transforms into a long sleeve mini dress and also to a strapless mini dress.

If versatility is what you want on your wedding day we have the perfect bridal shoes for you. Our Olivia bridal heel can be worn four different ways with interchangeable straps: a basic silk strap, a silk strap with a silk bow, a floral crystal strap, and a floral crystal strap with a silk bow. You can change looks for your bridal shower, reception, wedding, and after party all with one shoe!
Sheer and transparency
Nothing brings sexiness quite like sheer torso panels and second-skin dresses with transparent layering. If you are looking to be a little more risqué, this is the style for you. Have your guests in awe with this Mira Zwillinger wedding dress, crafted with the illusion of flowers around your torso. Or wear Galia Lahav’s dress, with flowers draping down from your head-to-toe and see-through layers, for an unapologetic sensual look.

Why not continue the sheer floral trend all the way down to your feet with our Eloise bridal heels covered in dainty flowers? These heels will mold to your feet with mesh fabric and a tulle bow strap. A great way to look stylish and feel so comfortable at the same time.
Unique Accessories
Not everything is about the dress, when you have flamboyant hats, chokers, and statement veils that elevate your look to a whole new level.
Chokers
Chanel has long been a trendsetter and featured bow tie chokers at the recent Paris Fashion Week. This influenced bridal designers to include chokers on the Spring 2024 runway. Of course, they were elaborated with flowers and lace just like Galia Lahav's flamboyant 3D flower choker pictured here.
Flamboyant Hats
Get yourself a striking hat! We saw chef's hats and bucket hats but also some other strange & elaborate creations. Whatever style you chose, we can be sure to see more brides wearing hats to grace the aisle this year. We adore Galia Lahav's mesh delicate hat that gives high society vibes for any eloquent wedding.
Statement Veils
No more subtle or plain mesh veils. 2024 is the year for raising your veil game with highly decorated, embellished, pearl, and floral veils. You can even have your veil represent your “something blue”, like this Bailey Embroidered Blusher veil covered in blue flower appliques.

If you are looking to stand out, these bridal booties are the perfect shoe for you. Pair your unique accessories with our Belle peep toe boots embellished in pearls and tulle petals, creating an alluring floral motif.
3D Flowers
Get ready to be wowed by the latest floral motif trend. We saw vintage meet contemporary with floral patterns and new-age designs. Bridal dresses are being brought to life with 3D flowers and vines that extrude from the dress. Floral applique was everywhere at April NYBFW, from flower gloves to flower veils that stretch along the entire floor. Add dramatic architectural form to your dress with these three-dimensional details such as Galia Lahav and Mira Zwillinger.
Love the 3-D elements trend? Our Wisteria bridal heels feature chiffon flowers cascading down from the ankle strap that sway when you walk, just like flowers in the spring wind. This heel gives you so much room to customize your look. You can wear the tassel on the front, or side or remove it altogether for a minimal ivory stiletto look.
Colored Gowns
Who doesn’t love a pop of color? Specifically lavender, blush, baby blue, or mint with botanical prints. We even saw regal gold dresses like Julie Vino’s sheer golden blush bridal dress. Don’t be afraid to move away from the age-old tradition of wearing white or ivory on your wedding day. We recommend our Frances gold bridal heels to go with your regal look. With meticulously embroidered crystal vines on soft mesh covering your feet and ultra-soft padded below your feet, you will feel like a Queen.
This is 2023, you can wear what you want. But if you don’t want to break all the rules straight away, go for a white dress and a colorful veil like Reem Acra’s lavender tulle veil or fabulous lilac shoes to stand out from the crowd. Check out our collection of lavender heels including our breathtaking Eve bridal heels which are bejeweled with chiffon butterflies.
Voluminous skirts
Taking a cue from Disney princesses, many designers created ball gown dresses with voluminous skirts, just like out of a fairytale. Create a bold entrance with a tiered and pleated dress from Monique Lhuillier or a full floral printed skirt formed with soft tulle layers from Ines Di Santo.
