Bridal Diary: Bridal gowns I'm loving
NYBFW part two: more favorites from Bridal Fashion Week, plus some young designers I'm impressed by
I covered all my Bridal Fashion Week favorites from my trip to NYC last week on substack. I also wanted to cover some of the gowns and brands I didn’t get to preview, but left an imprint on my mind. I’ve gathered a short edit of the stand-outs, specifically for 2026 brides, since these collections are perfect for your buying timelines. Definitely some new designers to have on your radar, as well!
Ferrah Collection 010
I was delighted to discover Ferrah this year. Lela, the founder and designer of the New Orleans based brand, is truly creating works of art with a unique point of view. Their latest collection stopped me in my tracks, exquisite.
Yellow by Sahar Spring Summer 26
As soon as I saw this gown from the new collection, I immediately screenshotted.
Oscar de la Renta Bridal Spring 26
I always appreciate the very intricate detail of an Oscar de la Renta. This gown’s tiered tulle and unique take on a classic tulle skirt is everything.
Dana Harel Swan Collection
Speaking of tulle, I absolutely the way Dana Harel’s new collection plays with tulle in a fresh way, as well. My favorite gown from the collection is the Sophie shown below.

Danielle Frankel Collection X
This linen organza gown from DF is truly a work of art- definitely my favorite from the new collection that feels traditional in silhouette with a twist. I can’t wait to see how this dress moves!
Here are some extra saves from my bridal folder:
It was such a fun experience to be able to see all the bridal newness and made me so excited to share my bridal dress journey and all my looks. Very soon!
