Celebrating Bridal ’26: An Exclusive MERABI Showcase in New York
Last Thursday, we welcomed New York’s leading tastemakers and brides-to-be to Palma West Village for an intimate unveiling of the MERABI Bridal ’26 collection. This thoughtfully curated bridal showcase for top US talent, press, stylists, and engaged MERABI women celebrated our latest collection, designed for every moment surrounding the wedding journey.
Hosted by Founder and Creative Director Nadine Merabi, the showcase offered guests an exclusive in-person preview of the Bridal ’26 collection, designed to support brides through each chapter leading up to their big day and beyond.
Our bridal ‘26 collection introduces a new expression of bridal for MERABI. Each piece honours individuality, blending artistry and sophistication into designs that move with our clients' most memorable moments. The collection strikes a balance between modern style and lasting allure, brought to life through soft contours and refined craftsmanship.
The afternoon began with a champagne reception and a seated luncheon for our press, stylists, and talent guests, all of whom were attending as brides-to-be themselves, dressed in MERABI bridal. The table setting was adorned with intricate lace and soft florals, echoing the elegance and artistry of the Bridal ‘26 collection.
During the event, guests had the opportunity to visit the MERABI Bridal Perfume Bar, exploring and layering our three signature wedding fragrances: Promise, Lover, and Mine. Promise offered a light, sparkling, and airy profile, Lover introduced a rich, intoxicating woody depth, while Mine delivered a warm, intimate finish.
Among those in attendance were Forbes Editor Emma Sandler, Business of Fashion Editor Haley Crawford, New York Times’ Ivy Mathers, Cosmopolitan’s Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien, W Magazine contributor Alison Syrette Cleary, Glamour’s Brittany Romano, alongside leading stylists including Ynes Trabelsi and Ashley Afriyie. Talent guests included actress and TV personality Gracie Cashman, influencer Brigette Pheloung, and Dancing with the Stars icon Charity Lawson, each attending in celebration of their own upcoming wedding.
Before lunch, Nadine took a moment to personally thank the brides-to-be and celebrate their engagements.
“We are so excited to be here in New York City today. We are now 10 years into the launch of our brand, and every time we visit the U.S., we are always shown such warmth and support. Every visit feels incredibly special. Thank you for joining us to celebrate the launch of bridal ‘26.”
Reflecting on the brand’s bridal journey, Nadine shared:
“Planning a wedding is such a meaningful chapter. It’s a time to explore different styles and truly discover what feels like you.”
“When I first founded MERABI, we didn’t have a bridal-focused collection. We actually launched bridal in 2020 after noticing how many of our customers were choosing our white styles for the moments surrounding their wedding day. From there, we began designing elevated bridal pieces for hen celebrations, rehearsal dinners, receptions, and the night before.”
“Our bridal collection includes tailoring, suiting, and separates. Offering brides the freedom to feel confident and empowered, in styles that go beyond the expected.”
Nadine wore the REGAN White Dress, one of MERABI’s latest signature tulip silhouettes, featuring concealed side pockets, padded cap sleeves for balance, and statement jewel detailing at the neckline.
Later, Nadine took a moment to thank our incredible PR and Influencer team for bringing the event to life:
“Thank you to the team for always honing in on the fine details. Today has been truly gorgeous. From the beautifully curated tables to the fragrances and pieces on display, every element came together perfectly. At MERABI, we cherish the finishing touches because it’s the finer details that set us apart and make these moments unforgettable. I feel so grateful to celebrate our Bridal ’26 collection with such inspiring guests and to share in the excitement of their upcoming weddings.”
In the afternoon, the space reopened for an extended bridal showcase for our clientele, welcoming additional MERABI brides-to-be who had registered via email. Guests were greeted with drinks, fragrance, and canapés before exploring the Bridal ’26 collection, connecting with fellow brides, and discovering pieces designed for every moment of their wedding journey.
The bridal showcase was thoughtfully developed by the MERABI PR team, with the intention of creating an experience that mirrored the care and detail behind the collection itself.
Cassandra Capuozzo, Head of PR and Partnerships said: “A wedding marks such an important moment in your life. Every detail of the day was carefully curated to come together seamlessly, creating one beautiful experience, much like a love story. It mirrors the intention behind the MERABI Bridal ’26 collection, where every piece is designed to support each chapter of the journey.”
Reflecting on the connection made throughout the day, Lyla Heys, PR and Partnerships executive added: “It was so special to spend time chatting with our talent, editors, and stylists about their wedding plans. Seeing their inspiration and hearing the stories behind their engagements was incredibly moving, it made the day feel truly personal and reminded us why these moments matter so much.”
At MERABI, we are honoured to be part of each and every bride’s story and the memories she creates along the way. Thank you to all of our guests for attending our 2026 bridal showcase. It was a joy to celebrate this next chapter with you. We look forward to continuing to share in these special moments and can’t wait to reveal more of what the coming months have in store for our brides, our collections, and the beautiful journeys ahead.
