With a Bow on Top
A playful trend we noticed this season was the addition of bows. Designers added delicate bows of all sizes to their gowns to make their pieces stand out in a subtle way.

3D Floral Appliqué
Flowers have always been a huge trend for bridal week, but this season we saw gowns covered with 3D floral appliqué. From an off-the-shoulder style by Marchesa Notte to a strapless design by Sachin & Babi, the floral motif was in full bloom.

Bridal Cover-Ups
We saw an array of capes, capelets, and fuzzy shawls this bridal week. From a sheer hooded cape to a white leather jacket, you can expect to see brides opting for a more layered look next Fall.

Power Suits
We've all heard of the power suit, but this season we saw a fresh new take on the style. From a sleek white blazer and tailored trousers to an embellished jumpsuit, brides will have more than dresses to choose from.

Tiered Gowns
Rather than sleek, body-hugging styles, designers have changed up their silhouettes with tiered gowns. Whether it's tiers of tulle that give the dress a romantic feel or tiers of tassels that add a whimsical element, this trend seems to be holding its ground.

Ornate Headpieces
Rather than a classic tulle style, prepare to see brides ditching their veils for something more ornate. From a beaded veil to an embellished headband, brides can accessorize with a variety of statement-making pieces.
