So, all the 2021 wedding collections have been reviewed, it’s time to get acquainted with the main trends in wedding fashion and find out what the most fashionable wedding dresses of 2021 are. In the world of bridal fashion, changes from season to season can be quite slow, but some finds, such as sparkling dresses, full skirts and capes, always prove to be in demand. Wedding trends are also influenced by fashion week trends, where clothing is a reflection of our real life at the moment; however, unlike ordinary fashion, the wedding image is still more from the world of fantasy.
Each fashion house, designer and wedding brand has its own style, its own so-called stylistic DNA. Therefore, every year on the catwalks of Bridal Fashion Weeks and in fashion collections we see wedding dresses of all styles: seductive mermaid dresses, deep necklines, discreet minimalist dresses, “princess dresses” with a full skirt, luxurious embroidery or lace, and romantic wedding dresses in bohemian and Greek style...
Fashionable wedding dresses 2021: main trends
Classic style, boho style, minimalism or glam – the 2021 wedding collections have a huge selection for every bride. And while some of the wedding dress trends that have become classics are still around, like long sheer sleeves and 3D floral embroidery, there are plenty of fresh new trends, too.
Of course, Meghan Markle's wedding dress has become a major wedding trend for 2021, so many designers have introduced their own versions of the Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress for 2021 brides. And wedding jumpsuits have become an original fashionable alternative to a wedding dress.
Short and midi
An alternative to a long wedding dress would be a short or midi length one. Fashionable accents for it will be the same as for a long one - sequins, neckline, sleeves, flounces, etc.
Trend – Short wedding dress
Similar to jumpsuits, wedding mini suits and mini dresses are the perfect choice for a second wedding dress. For 2021, designers have prepared stunning mini dresses for brides: sparkling and with feather trim and bright flowers.
Now that every wedding moment is on Instagram, designers are ready to help you shine at every moment of your wedding: the bridal shower, the rehearsal dinner, the morning of the bride and the afterparty. Short wedding dresses from Elie Saab, Viktor & Rolf and Vera Wang are great for all of the above, but the idea of a short dress for the main event is also great.

Trend – Lavender Color
White has long been an optional color for a wedding dress: many brides prefer champagne and powder pink. But on the 2021 catwalks a new, unusual for wedding fashion, a delicate shade of lavender appeared. The trend may have been inspired by Pantone's 2021 color of the year, ultraviolet, with pastel lavender wedding dresses appearing in many collections, including Vera Wang, Jenny Packham and Hayley Paige.
Trend - High Collar
A closed neck and high collar on a wedding dress have become fashionable in 2021. In the 2021 bridal collections, the mandarin collar and simplicity aesthetics cannot be ignored. Mandarin collars were everywhere this season, from a modern and sleek version at Monique Lhuillier to a lace version at Reem Acra and a '60s-inspired collar at Viktor & Rolf.

Minimalism
Among the dresses that looked like cream cakes with a hundred layers, translucent, flowing, silhouette or with complex designs and all kinds of decoration, there were also minimalist options - perfectly tailored and incredibly elegant dresses in the spirit of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Look for inspiration from Amsale, Lela Rose, Cushnie and Anne Barge.

Capes
The traditional veil has been replaced by capes and all kinds of capes. Tadashi Shoji wedding dresses now have beaded capes, Zuhair Murad offers a lace cape as part of a wedding dress, and Vera Wang presented huge collars made of pleated tulle and delicate lace, as if taken from the shoulders of a girl from the Victorian era.

Bows
Probably, not a single wedding season goes by without this established element. In the new collections, Amsala brand designers decorated the top of the dress with an elegant bow, and Viktor & Rolf placed it on the hem of the product, creating a “mermaid” silhouette.

Emphasis on the veil
In the new season, when choosing a veil, you need to remember one main rule - it must be spectacular and always long. Zuhair Murad prepared an incredible veil, decorated with appliqués and embroidery. Elie Saab, in addition to a long veil studded with beads, offered another alternative option in the form of a veil-veil.

Trouser ensemble
Pantsuits and overalls are becoming increasingly common in wedding collections. Designers see them as an excellent alternative for fans of masculinity and minimalism. Thus, in the Viktor & Rolf collection there was an ensemble of a jacket and trousers, reminiscent of a men's version of a tuxedo, and Cushnie preferred laconic and minimalist overalls and suits in the new collection. An ivory-colored lace jumpsuit from the Tadashi Shoji brand made friends with a maxi-length cape.

Guipure and lace
Luxurious lace and guipure dresses took center stage at Bridal Fashion Week. The entire Tadashi Shoji collection is built on these delicate materials, and Lela Rose, in turn, used macramé lace. Fans of emphatically romantic images will come to the aid of the Galia Lahav wedding collection.

Color
If snow-white dresses and pastel shades are classics in the world of wedding fashion, then Vera Wang has her own plans for this. The designer dictates new trends year after year. In the new season, the Vera Wang brand relied on rich beige color. Brand Reem Acra supported the trend of unconventional colors and introduced colored wedding dresses. And Temperley London pleased with elegant fitted tulle dresses with a barely shiny texture in cream and soft pink shades.

Trend – Metallic
Brides who dream of shining at their own wedding: this trend is especially created for you! We have never seen so much gold, silver and platinum in wedding collections. Although the glitter of gold and platinum on dresses has already been noticed in fashion in 2021. In the 2019 collections, we see how this trend is only growing: metallic shine on wedding dresses is present both on classic dresses and on narrow dresses with a slit, worthy of the carpet, and even on short dresses (after the wedding you can go to the disco) .
Something new, something old, something intriguing...
The popularity of the lingerie style in clothing has not escaped the wedding dress. Brave girls who are not afraid of experiments can choose light transparent dresses with lace bras and frills, like Tadashi Shoji, Temperley London, Jordi Dalmau.

Trend - Cape
For three years now, capes and capes have not gone out of fashion. This is because wedding capes and capes are a spectacular alternative to a veil. It is guaranteed to add romance and freshness to the bride's image. That's why brides and designers loved them so much that in 2021 capes and capes are back in trend.
Trend – Classic wedding dress
This wedding trend is definitely influenced by the Royal Wedding effect again. Brides of 2021 will have a huge selection of classic wedding dresses with full, voluminous skirts reminiscent of 19th century ball gowns. Many designers, even those famous for their original and revealing wedding dresses like Galia Lahav, are returning to the classics this season.
Dresses with an unusual top
Do you know a win-win way to draw attention to the bride's face? Choose an outfit with an original top! An intricate neckline, cleverly woven lace near the face, bows on the shoulders, glitter - all this will attract the eyes of guests.
Trend – Flowers
A bride's outfit decorated with embroidered flowers: what could be more familiar? But for 2021 brides, designers have strewn wedding dresses with large, voluminous buds and petals, which are completely different from the 3-D floral appliqués of past seasons.
Lots of decorative elements
Judging by the fashion trends of 2021, wedding dresses should not be “boring” and faded. To do this, they use a large amount of beads, pearls, sparkles, lace and even real jewelry.
Rhinestones in outfit decor
They are used to trim sleeves, shoulders, skirts, and there are even models where, due to the shine of precious stones, the corset of a wedding dress is completely shimmering. It looks impressive, but in this situation it is very important to choose the right natural makeup and completely abandon accessories.
By the way, most often the style called “fish” is trimmed with beads and pearls - it is suitable exclusively for slender young girls who have no complaints about their figure.
Trend - Sleeves
Wedding fashion 2021 is rich in original sleeves, especially if these sleeves are long. For a summer wedding, it is better to choose sleeves made of transparent embroidered tulle, such as the airy sleeves in the 2021 wedding collection from Galia Lahav. For those brides who require not only a beautiful appearance, but also some kind of protection from the cool air, in 2021 they will easily find dresses with long original sleeves, decorated with lace, embroidery or with an intricate cut.

These are the dresses that are now at the peak of popularity (especially in combination with the trends that we will discuss below - an open back and a deep neckline).
