The big wedding trends of 2021 are all influenced to some extent by 2020’s lockdown – wedding dresses included. Whatever your style, whatever your shape, whatever the vibe you want for your wedding, there is a dress out there for you, and your budget.
Our dress designers and bridal wear experts find out exactly what wedding dress trends you can expect to see for 2021 – and discover what the new dress shopping experience will be like.
- Statement Sleeves
Statement sleeves can be that perfect way to add personality and charm to a simple, chic look. We are calling it, statement sleeves are the next big must-have for any up and coming bride. Puffed sleeves give us some major Cinderella vibes, so they are literally perfect in our eyes. They create a gorgeous vintage look, and is fit for a princess, need we say more?
- Whimsical Pastel Shades
This whimsical trend will grow from brides wanting an element of surprise to their wedding day look. After months of worry during lockdown, brides will be looking for fun, playful, adventurous styles that express their individuality. Before you start your search, you should determine what shade will best celebrate your personal style and complement your wedding color palette. While blush is fast becoming the new take on the white wedding gown, there are many other colors out there to choose from. If you are a bride who prefers a hint of color, consider shades of soft gray, lilac, and powder blue. If you are looking to make a dramatic statement, opt for high-impact colors like emerald green, red, and even bright pink.
- Length, Length, Length
2021 will be a bumper year of weddings and there will be so much to celebrate. Brides will be taking advantage of this with once-in-a-lifetime gowns full of theatre and majesty that makes them feel incredible. Everyone wants to see their friends and family’s faces when they get that first glimpse of your dress. Expect to see elegant long trains, along with statement veils.
- Modern Lace
Lace is an eternally romantic bridal fabric. A lace wedding dress is one of the most traditional styles out there, and for many, the delicate and feminine fabric is synonymous with bridal gowns. Options range from timeless shapes like a sheath to A-line and mermaid silhouettes; sleeves and necklines vary from long to off the shoulder; and styles include bohemian details, traditional cuts, and modern designs.
- A lot of Sparkle
2021 brides will embrace ruffles and sparkles like no other! A knockout party with your loved ones will be the core of your day and brides will want something show stopping that they can really let their hair down in. The vibe is optimistic, radiant and bright. We see a lot of beautiful embellishments ranging from Sitara, dabka, resham, pearls, stones and a lot more.
- All About Necklines
Necklines – unusual ones, adaptable ones and high drama ones – will be a big trend in 2021 dresses. We are also expecting a further surge in more demure, covered-up looks, so dresses with high necks, and cheeky small and long puffed sleeves.
Brides will be asking many questions of what they want from their wedding dress and how they buy it in 2021.
