25 Dresses from New York Fashion Week for the Aisle—and Beyond!

New York Fashion Week always brings the sporty, edgy, and casual vibes to each season, but when you comb through the light (and chunky) knits, slouchy pantsuits, and an endless array of fashion sneakers you'll find the most amazing gowns, cocktail dresses, and eveningwear. Basically, anything you'd need to outfit yourself for your engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, and rehearsal dinner—with some killer options for the aisle sprinkled in between. Before turning our attention to London, Milan, and Paris for the rest of the Spring 2016 collections, we hand-picked the 25 best dresses (and a few jumpsuits!) from the New York shows that will make your wedding guests "ooh" and "aah" as much as we did when we saw them on the runways. 

Pair this Ralph Lauren jumpsuit with a minimal gold collar for your rehearsal dinner.

Designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez paired images of Spain (cue the eyelet and the pom-poms) along with items that you can peel back layers from (like bananas!) when designing their latest collection. The result? Sweet and sultry cocktail dresses fit for an engagement party. 

Show off the results of your pre-wedding workouts at your next-day brunch with this tiered dress by Proenza Schouler.

Looking for Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig's signature romance without their standard laces and sparkle? Consider this sheer dress for your wedding ceremony.

Creative Director Josep Font is known for his outside-the-box fabric choices and standout embellishments. This sleek column adorned with clusters of pastel pailettes suits both the minimalist and the drama mama. 

An off-the-beaten blush option is sure to surprise and delight. This tiered Delpozo dress was embroidered with sparkling "something blue" vines to boot.

We know Angel for his love of architectural shapes and futuristic structure, but it turns out he's a go-to for a flirty after-party dress too.

Ankle length gowns—like this one by Angel Sanchez—offer the formality of a ball skirt with the show-off-your-shoes fun of a cocktail dress.

A dramatic twist whittles your waist and lends a cool contrast to a more feminine skirt. Pair this Badgley Mischka dress with a black (yes, black!) pointed-toe pump for a civil ceremony or your rehearsal dinner.

Tory Burch's sweet floral style fits the bill for both a day-after brunch and a night out on your warm-weather honeymoon.

Flowers and flamenco seemed to inspire Peter Copping this season, leading him to create perfectly-placed ruffles that keep it classy while showing off toned arms and legs.

A sleek and minimal silhouette by Narciso Rodriguez gets girly in this pastel pink.

Bianca Jagger meets Saturday Night Fever for a Rodarte after-party jumpsuit so fun you'll definitely want to wear it again.

Mrs. Herrera turned to the color rose this season to give us tonal tiers that are as precious and pretty as petals.

Wondering how to pull of a crop top without going over-the-top? This textured high-necked number with a midi-length illusion skirt from Carolina Herrera is a prime example.

CFDA Incubator alum Jonathan Simkhai is known for his sexy, body-con party frocks, but it turns out he can make an awesome short wedding dress too.

Jenny Packham, our bridal go-to for all-over bling, showed us a softer side this New York Fashion Week with inspiration from rock 'n' roll greats. Were unsure if it's Mick Jagger or David Bowie we have to thank for this short fluttery dress topped with a little "something blue."

The design duo behind this new label met in the Oscar de la Renta atelier and borrowed from the boys for their first go-round, deconstructing the button down shirt in every which way. This Risky Business-esque Monse show-opener stood out as a prime pick for a bachelorette party.

Be it bridal or RTW, Monique Lhuillier is synonymous with lace and textural embroidery. This time, the colorful block work of Ellsworth Kelly led her into rainbow territory, which would add some unexpected color to your reception look.

Consider yourself a fashion risk-taker? Try an ankle length fit-and-flare (in a multi-colored splatter print) by Monique Lhuillier rather than the standard mermaid gown for your wedding dress.

Joseph Altuzarra is always one to walk the fine line between sophisticated and sexy, much like the balance you are hoping to strike for your reception.

Zimmermann's feminine dresses were as much about new takes on lace as they were about showing off legs for days.

Be it for an engagement party, rehearsal dinner, or a short dress for the aisle, Jason Wu's delicately frayed details on the hems of his pieces stand out as both fresh and feminine.

Riccardo Tisci moved his typically Paris-based collection to the streets of New York this season for a spectacular show jam-packed with white and ecru offerings. It was almost impossible to pick just one, but the draped shoulder details on this dress stood out amongst all the bare-shouldered silhouettes this season.
