New York Bridal Fashion Week amazed fashion patrons in New York City for two whole days. The majority of the bridal collections were showcased on April 2 through April 4, 2024. From Amsale and Andrew Kwon, to Lein and Markarian, there were many beautiful pieces. VALLEY has highlighted a few of our favorites for you, so sit back and enjoy.
Amsale
Starting out with a classic, here is a smooth, silk-like bateau wedding gown. This piece is paired with tulle gloves and diamond earrings. The fabric on this gown flows so well, and the train is just the perfect size.
Both of the Amsale gowns mentioned in this article are from the brand’s “The Art of Living” Spring 2025 collection.
“This season there is a focus on flora and the female form through the lens of French Romanticism.”
– Head Designer Michael Cho
Ooh, drama. The corseted top contrasts well with the bowed, off-the-shoulder sleeves. As compared to the last gown, this fabric has a floral pattern and metallic glow. In this exceptional number, a mermaid shape is more than acceptable.
Andrew Kwon
Rosettes still hold a special place in VALLEY’s heart. The way the chiffon flows down from the constricted top is pure art. The contrast between the two fabric florals and the sheer smoothness of this gown is outstanding. Honestly, it’s ethereal.
Both of the Andrew Kwon gowns mentioned in this article are from the brand’s “Collection 8 – Prelude No. 2” Couture Bridal collection.
“This collection, rooted in the essence of my brand’s beginnings in bridal, pays homage to the iconic figures and brides who have embraced my creations.”
–Andrew Kwon
Obviously, we need a gown with shape to it! The angular top and waist work together to create an asymmetrical look. This piece shows that wedding gowns don’t always have to be one shape. The fabric working as a scarf is just mwah, *chef’s kiss.*
Markarian
Switching it up a little, here is a white mini dress with a squared top. The detailing on this piece is insane as the entire dress is covered in water droplet crystals. This dress is perfect for an elaborate engagement party or brunch.
Both of the Markarian pieces mentioned in this article are from the brand’s Spring Summer 25 Bridal collection.
As a homage to 2023, we cannot escape the bows. Fortunately, this midi dress from Markarian has only three, simple additions. They create a youthful appearance and mix well with the floral imprinted fabric. One can’t help but think about the “Priscilla” (2023) film when looking at this dress.
Lein
The embroidery and detail on this gown are equally out of this world. Also, this piece fits in with current trends, as there’s a spectacular cut-out on the back. This gown takes floral fabric and high necklines to another level.
Both of the Lein pieces mentioned in this article are from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
To conclude, here is a beautiful silk mini dress. VALLEY isn’t normally a fan of turtlenecks, but for this piece, we’ll make an exception. The way the silk flows past the under-layer of fabric is breathtaking.
