This season’s New York Bridal Fashion Week brought the glitz and glamour of couture bridal fashion to life, and Watters didn’t disappoint. Hosted at Public Hotels’ chic Sunset Terrace, the invitation-only preview of the newest Wtoo and Willowby collections offered a perfect blend of stunning design, sophistication, and exclusivity. With the iconic New York City skyline as the backdrop, attendees—including bridal influencers, wedding industry professionals, and top publications—sipped champagne while capturing breathtaking first-look content. Join me as I take you behind the scenes of this incredible event.

“Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, Public Hotels’ Sunset Terrace proved the perfect location for this exclusive event. With floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the city skyline, the venue exuded a sense of modern luxury that matched the tone of Watters’ preview. Guests mingled in the elegant space, champagne flutes in hand, as soft lighting highlighted the intricate details of each gown.”
