One of the best parts of being a beauty editor and bridal fashion enthusiast is that I explore the unique intersection between the two during the New York Bridal Fashion Week. Twice a year, tastemakers of the fashion and beauty space combine their specialities to deliver seven days of bridal bliss, and those of us who are lucky enough to witness the magical results up close are bestowed with the opportunity to share our findings with others. Now that the week as reached its epic conclusion, we’re revealing the top bridal beauty trends spotted between the cascading veils and cathedral trains with details from a beauty expert behind two of the season’s most memorable shows and presentations.
Bridal beauty next year will be defined by pared-back romance rooted in unique aesthetics associated with the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries and blink-and-you’ll miss it details—think heart-wrenching Wuthering Heights drama meeting the quiet simplicity of Pride & Prejudice. By combining lightly flushed cheeks to enhance or alter your face shape, windswept tresses pulled into undone buns, and short nails in milky tones, bridal beauty trends in 2027 will lean away from the minimalist, structured looks towards ones reminiscent of a pensive Jane Austen heroine or a Brontë-style haunted lover with a dash of Golden Age Hollywood. However you decide to “bride,” donning a jewel-adorned mantilla veil or an eye-catching gown with rosebud accents might be where your mind goes first, but bridal beauty trends also have a hand in shaping the bridal landscape.
I scanned the runways and showrooms for the beauty moments worth recreating from the the playful, vintage finishes I glimpsed at the high energy Tanner Fletcher presentation to the pillow, soft complexions of Monique Lhuillier framed by layers of lace. Ready to officially say “I do” to the ones that made their appearances during this year’s New York Bridal Fashion Week? Keep reading to discover the dreamy hair, makeup, and manicure moments that were showcase during the event, and will be floating down the aisle in a matter of months.
