New York Bridal Fashion Week just wrapped, and as a 2026 bride myself, I couldn’t resist diving into all the fall 2026 wedding dress trends. From the boutonniere bride and boho bell sleeves to bubble hems, cape veils, and the peplum comeback, I’m breaking down the standout looks from designers like Galia Lahav, Oscar de la Renta, Danielle Frankel, and Monique Lhuillier — and deciding which trends feel timeless . . . and which might not make it past the honeymoon.
Plus, I share my own bride-to-be dilemma: do I dress for the moment or for forever? And since every Dinner for Shoes episode has a bite, I’m taste-testing a slice of apple pecan crumb cake from Yuki’s Bakery in Hoboken (because Nick and I won’t be doing a traditional wedding cake, so now’s my chance!). Trish even pops in for a sniff.
Whether you’re planning your own wedding, manifesting one, or just love a good bridal trend report, this episode is your backstage pass to fall 2026 bridal fashion with a side of dessert.
