New York Bridal Fashion Week happens twice a year, and the first installment for 2016 certainly didn’t disappoint. The April shows, which ran for three-days, set the tone for the latest bridal trends and we can’t wait to see this year’s stunning looks filter from the catwalk to the aisle.<\/p>\n

From layering statement jewellery, to pearl embellishment being worn in textured plaits, here are some of the hottest trends from New York Bridal Fashion Week.<\/p>\n

Veil detail<\/h2>\n

Reem Acra displayed a flair for intricate design with their veils featuring hand-stitched appliques which matched the detail on the gowns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cappucino coloured gowns<\/h2>\n

Galia Lahav showcased some cappucino coloured gowns in their latest collection. This stunning mushroom-toned hue is very different to the traditional white or ivy, and the colour has already been featured by designers such as Inbal Dror<\/a>, so watch this space…<\/p>\n

More is more<\/h2>\n

Current trends are heading toward large pieces of statement jewellery<\/a> being worn together, resulting in a ‘more is more’ approach. Thick chokers, embellished headpieces and very long dangling earrings characterize the look.<\/p>\n
