1. Lace Gloves

Wedding dresses and opera gloves go hand in, er, hand. Since the release of Bridgerton in 2020, brides have been swooning over the Regency-era accessory, and the trend is showing no signs of slowing down. This year at New York Bridal Fashion Week, we saw our fair share of gloves on the runway, particularly lace styles. For brides sporting a streamlined silhouette to their nuptials, a touch of lace can be an elegant way to accessorize and there are plenty of shoppable looks you can get your hands on right now (pun intended).

2. Bridal Capes

This season, as models strutted down the runway, many were followed by dramatic trailing capes. From luminous pearl accents to sophisticated designs, wedding capes are certainly getting the spotlight this year and it's no mystery why. For brides skipping the veil, a cape can be an elegant alternative. They create an ethereal effect as you walk down the aisle, and better yet, they won't mess up your hair. Pair with a simple wedding dress or sleek bridal pantsuit—or go all out with an extravagant ball gown. Either way, you're guaranteed to make a bold fashion statement.

Good news: Florals aren't limited to just your bouquet and centerpieces anymore. Wedding dresses featuring floral appliqués have held the spotlight for several seasons, but now we're seeing flowers make their way into accessories. One of the latest trends that's coming up roses in 2024? Rosette sashes and chokers. Inspired by the '90s, these neck accents add an eye-catching touch to any bridal ensemble. We love the unique ways in which brides have been styling them for both their bachelorette parties and their big day.

Having trouble expressing your feelings? Let a customized embroidered veil do the talking. Hailey Bieber started a major trend during her 2018 nuptials when she sported a dramatic cathedral-length veil embroidered with the words "'Til Death Do Us Part." Now, with so many brands offering embroidered veils, it's easy to capture that same iconic style for your own ceremony. Of course, you'll likely want to make the look your own, which is why we handpicked these three customizable options.

Bow details were also all over New York Bridal Fashion Week, from wedding dresses with detachable bows, flirty hair bows, and bow-embellished veils.

A bow accessory is guaranteed to add a romantic touch to any of your bridal outfits, from the engagement party to the rehearsal dinner and beyond. Lucky for you, we found the prettiest trending options of 2024.

6. Neck Scarves

A bare neck is never a bad idea, especially for the minimalist bride, but for brides who want a little something extra, this trend is the way to go. Inspired by old Hollywood, bridal scarves let you have your very own red carpet-moment as you walk down the aisle. Just like a cape or veil, they trail behind you creating an ethereal effect. The best part? They can easily be removed to switch up your style between the ceremony and reception.

Pearl accessories are the latest craze in the bridal world and beyond (see: pearlcore) and in our books, there's no better way to sport them than on a headband. Whether you're looking for something dainty or bold, there are plenty of options to top off your look. Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend clearly never took a look at these iridescent accessories.

8. Colorful Veils

Want to make a fashion statement at your wedding? Take notes from New York Bridal Fashion Week and opt for a pop of color. Pastel wedding dresses made a big splash on this year's runways leading many modern brides to embrace these non-traditional looks for their own nuptials. For those not looking to stray too far from tradition, a colorful veil could do just the trick. From baby blues to bright pink hues, there are plenty of eye-catching options with which to customize your bridal ensemble.
