7 Statement Wedding Dresses from NY Bridal Market

From Flirty to Bold, our picks for the Best Non-Traditional Wedding Dress Looks for 2018

So we have shared our favorite romantic gowns, boho styles, and overall trends from NY Bridal Fashion Week! Today we are continuing our series by sharing our picks for the most beautiful statement wedding dresses from NY Bridal market 2018. Each one of these is a fabulous non-traditional wedding dress look for offbeat brides who are more interested in an edgy look, or perhaps just want to shop with an independent bridal gown designer.

Please note, when Southern Bride & Groom visited NY Bridal Market, we visited as many designers as we could fit into our schedule that are carried by our personally recommended Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and Wilmington wedding dress shops. So if you see a bridal gown or designer you like, take note of the boutique we’ve noted that carries it!

Thank you to Renee Sprink Photography for joining me for bridal fashion week, and capturing these most romantic wedding dresses from 2018 NY Bridal Market.

1-Dramatic Bridal Couture from Tara LaTour

Tara LaTour is the fabric queen, y’all! The thick, voluptuous fabric of this gown is so delicious I want sheets made out of it. The A-line look is made edgy- not just with the bold gem toned color, but also the triangular surprise cuts in the back, and the detachable off-the-shoulder bow sleeves. Tara LaTour is available at Gilded Bridal, in Raleigh, NC.

3- Funky Flair – Red Wedding Dress from Lazaro

Lazaro is always pushing the limits with both romantic and edgy bridal fashions. Red is known as a popular color for wedding dresses for Asian brides, but this color that symbolizes romantic love can make a statement for any bride. Pops of red in vibrant embroidered patterns might be just the statement for a reception gown, or for a non-traditional fall or winter wedding. Lazaro is carried by Tre Bella Bridal in Durham.
