As someone who’s photographed countless weddings over two decades, I can tell you there’s something truly special happening in bridal fashion right now. Jackson Wiederhoeft’s latest collection at New York Bridal Fashion Week has completely captivated me with its bold departure from traditional bridal wear, while making important strides in inclusivity.
What particularly moves me about this collection is Wiederhoeft‘s commitment to size inclusivity in their corsetry – offering sizes 0-30 in their made-to-measure pieces. After years of watching brides struggle to find luxury options in their size, this feels like such a meaningful step forward. Every bride deserves to feel celebrated and beautiful in high-fashion pieces, and it’s refreshing to see a luxury brand truly embracing this philosophy.
The collection features some absolutely stunning pieces that caught my eye immediately. There’s a gorgeous white structured blazer with statement buttons that offers a modern take on bridal suiting – perfect for those fashion-forward brides looking for something beyond the traditional gown. The craftsmanship is evident in every stitch, with impeccable tailoring that would photograph beautifully in any setting.
What I particularly love about this collection is how it plays with different silhouettes and textures. The images showcase some incredible slip-style dresses with delicate details that catch the light in the most magical way. As a photographer, I can already envision how these pieces would come alive in both natural light and dramatic evening shots.
One thing that really stands out to me is how versatile these pieces are. They would work beautifully for everything from intimate city hall ceremonies to grand ballroom celebrations. There’s a modern, editorial quality to the designs that feels fresh and exciting, while still maintaining that timeless bridal elegance that never goes out of style.
After seeing countless bridal collections over the years, it’s genuinely exciting to see designers like Wiederhoeft pushing the boundaries of what bridal fashion can be – both in design and inclusivity. These pieces aren’t just dresses – they’re wearable art that tells a story and makes a statement about what the future of bridal fashion should look like.
