A recent trip to New York City had me involved with a number of wedding gown designers, one being an elite namesake couture house, Netta BenShabu.
This season’s New York Bridal Fashion Week highlights the newest designs and collections for the 2025 wedding season. With designers, editors, influences, and photographers traversing the streets and hotel suites of Manhattan for a first glimpse of beautiful wedding gowns and their respected designers.

I was lucky enough to photograph a day of presentations with Netta BenShabu at Conrad Midtown Hotel. Standing in a room and interacting with buyers from all over the world and Netta herself in all her grace and prestige was such a great experience in the world of couture. The collection pushes the envelope in bridal fashion, making a huge statement towards old Hollywood glamour, impeccable crystal and beadwork, and a stunning take on upscale sparkle.

Trends I Saw for 2025 Bridal Gowns:

Crystal Embellishments
Drop Waist Silhouettes with Vintage Appeal
Small Black Bows
Something Blue Gowns
Party Looks that would make Great Gatsby look basic
