October brought buzzing excitement to the New York Bridal Fashion Market as dress designers across the globe debuts their 2019 collections down the runway. As the rows of seats began to fill up with critic and buyers and comparisons are made show after show, our bridal trends of 2019 are slowly revealed.

Women’s empowerment was a hot international topic in 2018, many designers have carried on the movement in their latest collection this season. As we follow our exclusive Eternal Bridal New York designers on their journey at the New York Bridal Market, we get a snapshot of the up and coming trends among the sea of organza, sparkles, lace and tulle.

So without further ado, here are the top 2019 bridal trends which stood out to us!

THE ONE SHOULDER STYLE

The stylish asymmetrical look is making a comeback ! It’s the perfect break from the stock standard even-steven necklines which have been done again and again over the past 12 months. This cut will add a modern touch for those stylishly daring brides aiming to be detached from the traditional look.

GET CAPE-ABLE

Another design translation of the same inspiration as the suits; capes, long or short, have been showcased on this years runway. If there's one way to let everyone you're a superwoman for getting all the wedding boxes checked and prepped, it would be with a cape.

SPRINKLE THOSE SPARKLES

2018 brought us jewels and sparkling beads with statement chunks of glitter. The designers have seemed to upped the sparkle factor by grinding down those jewels and glitter in to a simmering all over dust.

A TOUCH OF MEGHAN MARKLE

The royal wedding almost broke social media, for weeks everywhere was Megan’s clean, statement white dress. With such memorable elegance, is it any wonder that the minimalist, clean cut formed designs are now the ‘it’ look of 2019 bridal?

OFF-THE-SHOULDER SLEEVE

It's time for the decolletage to shine as this trend is all over the catwalk this season. No matter what the style of skirt that it's paired with, the off the shoulder sleeve is Queen of the Spring 2019 season.

THE DRAMA IS IN THE SKIRT

Ball gowns have been slowly trickling back into the most wanted shapes. 2019 is the year of ball gowns. Channel you inner princess and bring on the layers, volume and bell skirts!

SUIT UP!

We all saw this one coming! In the year of #bossladies and women’s empowerment, there’s nothing more symbolic that screams “I’m in control” and “I rock at being me” than a suit. Just like how Queen Bey’s sister Solange slayed it in a suit, you too can do it!
