2021 WEDDING TRENDS the ultimate celebration 2020 proved that love and marriage doesn’t quit in the face of a pandemic. If anything, brides and grooms are getting more creative than ever before, and that will certainly affect trends from fashion to floral to food as we move forward. Because of this surge in couples’ creativity, weddings in 2021 will run the spectrum from largerthan-life, escapist extravaganzas to more modest backyard affairs, all the time leaving no detail unattended to. STYLE: MAXIMALISM TO MINIMALISM In 2021 bridal fashion, nothing is off limits. Brides are embracing maximalism with showstopping fairytale ball gowns, dramatic silhouettes dripping with glamour, or punchy pops of color. In uncertain times, a wedding is the ultimate celebratory
moment, and brides want their look to reflect that jubilation. Still other brides are leaning more minimalist in the face of that uncertainty, choosing a Little White Dress instead of a formal gown. With outdoor venues being a hot commodity in 2021, weather is also a fashion consideration. Dresses are designed to be adaptable with detachable shrugs, cropped lace toppers, and capes to bring both warmth and drama. Beyond weather, gown details don’t shy away from making a statement. From off-the-shoulder balloon sleeves to high-low hemlines to oversized bows and ruffles, gowns are going big in 2021. Other details are more about the cut of the dress itself. Look for square necklines and backless styles in 2021.
