New York Bridal Week’s Spring 2026 Season Was Filled With Romantic Glamour

Romance abounded at New York Bridal Week, which focused on adaptable bridal dressing and multiple looks. Spring 2026 collections focused on thematic attire worn by modern brides, like Ines di Santo’s shimmering sequins, enchanting floral beadwork, and three-dimensional roses. Jaclyn White’s Spring ’26 lineup included multi-patterned laces, pearl clasps, and layered blooms across a range of dress lengths, plus blush pink and purple numbers. Meanwhile, whimsical sequined flowers, crystal-topped bows, and smooth corsetry were shown in Markarian and Sept’s clean lineups, while Hero’s newest designs nodded to individualistic dressing with superhero-inspired dresses and separates in hues of frosty pink, purple, and green. Chic parties hosted by Manolo Blahnik and House of Gilles further elevated that ethos, as well.

However, Tanner Fletcher took the (wedding!) cake for the Week’s boldest display of romance. The designer duo showed vintage-inspired suits, cinched gowns, and acid-toned denim adorned with flowing bows, rosy lace, and rosettes, in Chelsea’s St. Paul’s chapel to a stylish crowd including Hillary Taymour, Jonathan Cohen, Presley Oldham, Jackson Widerhoeft, Mandy Lee, Elizabeth Kurpis, Ian Malone, Caroline Vazzana, Isiah Magsino, and more. The sweet event ended with a surprise wedding for publicist Michael Kaye and Parsons School of Design’s Parker Simoni, officiated by content creator Angelica Hicks—and celebrated with a lively performance from The Late Show‘s gospel choir. Cheers!
