Sensuality & statement... The heart of wedding dress trends for 2021
2021’s wedding dress trends offer fresh elements that highlight the sensuality of a bride, with a focus on statement sleeves, subtle sparkle, and soft skirts. Certain trends have been shaped and influenced by the events of 2020, and exhibit clean and uncomplicated gowns with statement details for simpler affairs, while bolder styles are represented by Maxilimalist design details.
sleek and subtle trains
The rise in ‘minimonies’ since 2020 has created a need for simpler wedding gowns, without forsaking statement and style. If your dream day is a smaller and intimate affair, look out for styles that have short or minimal trains, with gorgeous details on the skirt and bodice that grab attention
maximalist details
Considered a ‘loud’ style, maximalist details defy the traditional with its diverse patterns, unconventional layering, and mixed use of textures- making this a great choose for bold brides. Excessive horsehair skirts, puff sleeves, subtly sparkled embellishing, and beautifully contrasted layering of lace and 3D appliques ensure that this bridal vision won’t be forgotten!
sheath silhouettes
The Sheath wedding dress silhouette is a great option for the intimate and uncomplicated bride, and offers a simpler style with stand out details! Beautifully clean cuts are complemented by statement detailing, such as lace cut-outs and bold beading, as well as modern accents like statement sleeves and layering.
bridal capes & overskirts
The traditional veil moves aside for this latest 2021 wedding dress trend- the bridal cape, and overskirt! These soft and ethereal pieces add sophistication and statement, without ‘overcomplicating’ your bridal look- making them a wonderful alternative to the veil! Plus, most of the overskirts and capes are detachable, giving you two gorgeous looks to play with!
