Natural make-up
Freshness, lightness, naturalness and natural beauty of the newlywed, all this is now more relevant than ever. The main task of this year is to look natural and gentle, only emphasizing your external features, and not hiding them behind a ton of cosmetics.
This trend is closely related to the fact that in recent years a large number of couples have chosen “Rustic” and “Boho” themes for their celebration, and in the coming season “Eco-style” has also joined them. As you know, the listed directions carry simplicity, lightness and airiness. Therefore, it is recommended to give preference to nude makeup: a tone as close as possible to the bride’s natural skin color, a little powder, a natural blush, fluffy eyelashes, neat eyebrows and shine instead of bright red lipstick. This will help the girl to advantageously emphasize all her advantages, look modern, stylish and elegant.
Bride's wedding look
The classic image of a bride for a wedding, which has developed over the last fifty years, involves a fluffy white dress, a veil with a wreath of artificial flowers and a bouquet of delicate white roses. But in recent years, more and more often, girls prefer to ignore fashion trends that dictate how a bride should or should not look. They choose an individual, special style, creating amazing outfits that reflect their character and hobbies. How to do it?
- You should not choose pink or white if it absolutely does not suit your complexion or figure.
- There is no need to try on an image for which the bride is completely unprepared. If she has an impetuous, passionate nature, she will not become a shy young lady of the Victorian era. And, conversely, the image of a fatal beauty is completely unsuitable for an airy, gentle creature.
- If the bride has her own ideal from among famous actresses, models, and her appearance allows her to embody this image, it is worth taking the risk and feeling like a beauty queen at the wedding.
On her wedding day, the bride should emphasize her inherent traits - to be romantic or mysterious, to light up with sincere fun or to give the warmth of her heart to only one person on the planet.
Bride's shoes
Wedding shoes are chosen not only by style or presence of decor. The most important criterion is comfort, because the bride will have to spend most of the day on her feet, dancing, and moving actively. What was perceived as mild discomfort in the morning becomes a serious problem by lunchtime, and by the evening turns into unbearable suffering.
There are several tips that are designed to eliminate most possible problems:
- The shoes need to be worn in and walked around in them all day. If they calluse your toes or heels or seem extremely unstable, there will be time to replace them with another pair;
- If a girl doesn’t wear high heels, you shouldn’t choose this particular style for your wedding. An unusual height can cause embarrassment or injury. There are many elegant models with low, stable heels;
- It is worth using special means - linings, clamps, which will make it easier to wear unusual shoes.
In addition, the bride must provide a change of flat-soled shoes - sandals, comfortable pumps, ballet shoes.
Wedding Dress
The image of a bride in our minds is closely intertwined with a chic dress. Choosing an outfit for a wedding is the first thing that comes to the mind of a happy newlywed. What are the fashion trends for modern brides?
- Newlyweds are increasingly moving away from traditional images of newlyweds. Now a bride can come to her own wedding in a top or blouse with a skirt or trousers, in overalls, or a “business lady” suit. Many people prefer a dress with a straight silhouette, a mini.
- Dresses with a “mermaid” silhouette continue to hold the top positions in the popularity ratings. This year, fashion designers offered models made of embroidered lace to the public.
- For brave ladies, a lingerie-style dress that emphasizes a graceful figure is suitable.
- For those who prefer the princess look, instead of boring models with corsets and hoop skirts, designers offer comfortable fitted dresses with a cloud of light fabric and lowered sleeves.
An experienced fashion designer will help you choose a dress style that will highlight all the advantages of your figure and hide any flaws.
General recommendations
What details need to be taken into account when working on a wedding look?
- Snow-white dresses do not suit everyone. In addition, in the photo, the snow-white fabric begins to have a bluish tint or looks dirty gray. To avoid this, the following shades are preferred - cream, ivory, icy, opal, moonlit, white chocolate.
- Before buying or sewing a dress, you need to purchase the underwear you plan to wear on your wedding day, and try on the outfit in it. Different models of lingerie give a completely different fit to the dress. The same goes for shoes. All fittings are carried out in the exact pair purchased for the wedding. Or a copy of it.
- You shouldn’t put off choosing your hairstyle and makeup until the last day, because they are strongly linked to the style and model of the dress. The outfit you choose should be the one that will be shown on your wedding day. In addition, when choosing a hairstyle, you should take into account that a too frilly, heavy model will cause inconvenience. This is especially noticeable on hot summer days, when any curling and styling loses the battle, sagging in a shapeless shock after just a couple of hours.
There is no need to skimp on stylists and makeup artists. The bride should look flawless, so before the wedding you need to experiment with different types of makeup and hairstyles, choosing the most suitable option. And on the wedding day, surrender to skillful, dexterous hands that will bring the girl into perfect order.
Hairstyle
As for holiday styling, a bun that can be high or low will look ideal this year, the main thing is that it is voluminous and gives the impression of slight negligence.
Other voluminous hairstyles are also relevant, for example, a Greek braid or large curls.
Beautiful accessories on the head will help complement the look; they are fashionable in 2021:
- fresh or artificial flowers;
- wreaths;
- wide headbands with floral motifs;
- tiaras;
- voluminous hairpins and combs;
- and satin ribbons.
Winter looks
If the wedding is in winter, it is better to choose a floor-length dress with long sleeves. Pure white color is not necessary, otherwise the bride may get lost among the whiteness of the snowdrifts. Tones no lighter than beige are more suitable.
Don’t forget about the fur details - the cape will keep the bride from freezing; you can take a knitted one or snood with you (see). Identical mittens for the bride and groom will complement the knitted look.
Warm shoes are recommended - boots or ankle boots; your feet should be comfortable.
The best hairstyle for a winter wedding is a braid or a “strong” style that will not be torn by the wind. Apply makeup with glitter and pearlescent lipstick. Remember that your nose can get cold and red outside, so ask a makeup artist to hide the problem.
Decorations
We also don’t forget about jewelry: large long earrings, a massive vintage necklace, large bracelets, a string of pearls, this is what is in trend now. It is important to take into account that accessories should emphasize your individuality and fit the overall style of the image.
But everything is good in moderation, it’s better not to wear more than two voluminous jewelry, because the emphasis should be on one thing. For example, in combination with a high bun, long, large earrings will fit harmoniously.
Good fertility
The cheeks of the ideal bride should be filled with blush. This indicator was considered a sign of excellent health. Wide hips spoke of fertility - and this was another important criterion. In earlier times, medicine and obstetrics were poorly developed, so children often died in infancy. The narrower a girl’s pelvis, the more problems during childbirth. Well, if a woman could not have children, she was considered completely defective.
Minimalism
In 2021, fashion is contradictory, and therefore the trend is not only complex, rich decor, but also its complete absence. Laconicism, restraint, simple cut, smooth fabric texture without trimming or unnecessary elements - this is the trick that Duchess Meghan Markle set when she appeared at her wedding in such a dress.
But this outfit, unlike the past, is appropriate to complement with bright accessories.
Bride's appearance
A good wife had to be able to do all the work in the house, keep livestock and work in the fields. Most peasant families survived by farming, so portly young ladies, literally bursting with health, were especially valued. Excessive thinness was identified with morbidity. How could a girl weighing 40 kilograms mow hay for several hours in a row in the heat, milk cows and carry buckets of milk?

There were no helpers in the huts in the form of electrical household appliances. The women wove their own yarn, sewed, knitted and ironed themselves using special tools, many of which were heavy. They carried water from the well into the house, washed and rinsed things in natural reservoirs, and in the summer they worked in the sowing fields. Therefore, girls with well-developed muscle mass, dexterous, agile, hardworking and curvy were valued.
In addition, thinness was associated with poverty and malnutrition. As you understand, not a single groom dreamed of a wife without a dowry. Everyone wanted to marry with the greatest benefit for themselves and their family.
Classic
A long, full dress with a V-neck is a classic that will probably never go out of style. And of course, in 2021 you can safely choose a similar option.
The main feature of modern classic dresses in the “Princess” style is the fact that they are now made from light, flowing fabric - chiffon, organza and tulle. It will be convenient, comfortable, not hot, and you will be able to dance and participate in active competitions.
Good dowry
If parents wanted to successfully marry their daughter, they accumulated a dowry from her birth. Everything was stored in the chest: from household utensils and scraps of fabric to curtains and bed linen. The richer the savings, the greater the chances of getting a respectable groom from a good family. The nobles' dowry consisted of gold, precious stones, real estate and securities.

The amount of the dowry was never kept secret. The parents of the potential bride believed this: the more people know about the family’s wealth, the faster their house will welcome matchmakers. This is where the expression “pushing the price” comes from - to show off your savings. Well, if wealthy commoners wanted to receive a noble title, they could easily do this with the help of a dowry. They gave their daughter in marriage to an impoverished nobleman, and everyone was happy.
Casual details
Comfortable everyday items will perfectly fit into the image of a modern bride in 2021. Complete your look with your favorite cardigan, denim or leather jacket, chunky boots or sneakers. This will help highlight your individuality, make you stand out from the crowd of other couples, and interesting wedding photos will be a bonus.
Chastity
Of course, the ideal bride had to remain virgin until marriage. Therefore, parents looked after their daughters and did not allow them to have random love affairs. But since girls got married early (before reaching their 18th birthday), many of them did not even think about debauchery. But a widowed woman with a child could easily find a husband, since she was automatically classified as one of those who was able to provide for the family with healthy offspring.
It is noteworthy that before Rus' adopted Christianity, virginity not only did not play any role in marriage, but was even something shameful. If the groom discovered on his wedding night that he had got a virgin, he could become angry and throw her out of the house. Nobody wanted a wife who was inexperienced in sexual pleasures. However, with the advent of Christianity, everything changed dramatically. Harlots began to be persecuted and ostracized, and were even severely beaten by their relatives.

Rustic and Boho
As we mentioned above, the Rustic Rustic and Boho Chic styles have been very popular in recent years. Lace, vintage jewelry, layered skirts, fringe, airy sleeves, a light dress or sundress, feathers, natural shades, and most importantly, simplicity and naturalness. All this will help convey to you the topic under consideration.
Age of marriage
In ancient times, most cultures believed that girls and boys could marry upon reaching puberty, so no one was surprised by a 12-year-old bride. In Rus', as a rule, the groom was 2-3 years older than his betrothed. Such an age difference was considered ideal. And only in 1775 the synod approved a new law. From now on, girls were allowed to get married no earlier than 16 years old, and boys were allowed to get married no earlier than 18 years old.

Pantsuits and overalls
Just a couple of years ago it was difficult to imagine a bride in trousers, much less a jumpsuit, but now this option has become a stylish reality. Fashion designers have long destroyed the stereotype that a woman must wear a dress or skirt at a holiday; later this also affected newlyweds. If you love pants and feel comfortable in them, then a trouser suit or overalls is your choice. Read more about them in our separate article on this topic.
If you want a more feminine look, then look for a model with a cape.
Now you know how a bride in 2021 can make her look modern, stylish and fashionable. We wish you a beautiful wedding that will be remembered for many years!

Clothing according to age and body type
When choosing an outfit, you should take into account the age and build of the guest.
- A young girl looks organic in a light, bright mini cocktail dress. Juicy berry tones are quite acceptable - red, pink, sunny lemon, deep blue, as well as floral prints.
- For older ladies, A-line models, straight dresses, extended to mid-calf or floor-length, as well as elegant trouser suits are suitable. Colors can be anything from beige and terracotta to aquamarine, burgundy or emerald.
- Charming “plumpies” look great in wrap dresses, high-waisted, A-line, asymmetrical cut. You should avoid large appliqués and prints, but vertical stripes or abstract patterns are perfect.
- Petite girls should avoid outfits that are too fluffy, with a lot of ruffles, frills, layers - they get lost in them.
When choosing an outfit, the guest should demonstrate taste and tact, highlight her personal image in order to stand out from the number of guests, without becoming a faceless “one of many.”
The bride often creates her wedding look in her dreams for years. And when the long-awaited day comes, she knows exactly how she wants to look. It happens that a girl gets a little lost from the abundance of offers and fashionable models offered by wedding salons and fashion designers. In this case, she can take the advice of experts so that at the wedding her appearance fully reflects her inner essence.
Fighter for uniqueness
At first, you talked about your ideas to everyone who would listen to you: friends on social networks, fellow travelers on public transport, colleagues at work. But suddenly your friend said that the peonies you chose for the bouquet are simply incredible, and she definitely wants the same ones for her wedding. And another friend actually asked me to lend her your garlands for her own celebration, which will take place in a couple of months!
Of course, the answer was a polite but firm “no.” And you immediately stopped talking about your wedding and posting pictures on social networks in case someone steals your idea.
But the point is that almost all the ideas have long been invented and described in detail on many resources dedicated to wedding topics.
So you can hardly claim absolute uniqueness. And think about whether it’s worth hiding your plans from your loved ones. Aren’t the positive emotions that you get from discussing the upcoming event, choosing wedding details and decor together, more important than the atmosphere of complete secrecy around your celebration? After all, the most unique thing about a wedding is the desire of two loving people to say their vows of fidelity.
