Harleen Kaur’s 2026 Bridal Collection Redefines Sustainability in Bridalwear
On the 15th of October 2025, designer Harleen Kaur presented her 2026 bridal collection at Prince George Ballroom, New York. An exploration of not only sustainable craft–but nature, culture and artistry.
Inspired by nature’s quiet intensity, Kaur utilises florals, organic textures, color and sculptural forms to create futuristic garments. Through the use of bold colors and a sense of romance and ethereal wonder, she achieves these illustrious designs.
Sustainability is part of the beauty that these garments hold. Kaur makes use of 3D printed fabrics using bio-based materials, recycled beads from glass bottles, recycled twill made from plastic bottles, and recycled sequins to show her audience that luxury can go hand-in-hand with sustainable developments. These choices are what Kaur stands for: reimagining responsible creation and honoring her roots.
Her multicultural background is etched into these designs. Drawing from her Punjabi, Thai and American roots, Kaur blends this blend of cultures to create innovative bridal pieces. Through her integration of psychedelic wavy motifs, watercolors and metallics, Kaur evokes the seamless cultural fusion that her garments bring to life.
Essentially, Kaur’s collection inspires modernity and tradition to coexist seamlessly in a unique sustainable twist. This dialogue between heritage and progress created by the collection is proof that sustainability does not come at the expense of luxury.
