In 2022, it was all about pearls – no doubt heavily influenced by pop culture’s obsession with the ‘Coastal Grandma’ look (thanks Tik Tok). For Fall popular wedding dresses for 2023, we’re seeing a lot of fun and fresh take of the next IT design, feathers. It is fun and flirty, celebrating weddings like we’ve never seen before.

Nothing says elegance more than bow designs. In fact, bows are one of the most popular wedding dresses for 2023. While bows are nothing new or groundbreaking in weddings, Fall bridal fashion week 2023 dresses are all about bow sleeves. These bow sleeves come in a variety of designs, from dramatic tulle bows sleeves as seen in Elie Saab and Eisen Stein Fall wedding dresses 2023 designs to more subtle bows in Viktor and Rolf’s Fall wedding dress 2023 design. The possibilities for bows are endless.

Another Fall bridal trends 2023 that we have been loving is matching gloves. We’ve been seeing a throwback to the classic gloves for weddings in recent years but nothing like this Fall 2023 season. Instead of traditional satin gloves, Fall 2023 bridalwear is all about beautifully detailed gloves that match the details of your wedding gown. We love Monique Lhuillier’s floral embroidered gloves that feel like an extension of her floral lace ball gown. Similarly, designers like Andrew Known and Julie Vino designed their own versions of bridal gloves that match their wedding dress designs. We love the 2023 redefined bridal gloves that bring so much personality to your wedding look, and we know this will be the hottest 2023 bridal trend.

You’ll see layers of tulle that add so much texture and drama, like this Elie Saab wedding dress that we will happily crown as one of our favorite Fall 2023 bridal gowns.

The perfect tulle wedding shoe to go with your tulle wedding dress is Bridget. The pleated tulle brings a lot of drama to what would otherwise be a simple stiletto wedding heel. We think New York fashion queen Carrie Bradshaw will approve.
