Last week we made our way to the fashion capital of the world, New York City, for bridal mayhem aka bridal market. We Uber’d all over town to sit in on some of the best shows and previews the market had to offer. Still on a high from the marvelous designs, we needed to share the top trends we noticed at Spring 2016 bridal market. From dramatic headpieces to soft capelets and tulle ballgowns, take a look at the wedding dress trends that had us floored and the designers who executed them the best.
