wedding dresses 2021: main trends 1

Dresses with flowers

Each designer showed outfits embroidered with flowers; this is the main trend of 2021. Floral motifs appeared on the catwalks a year ago, but have only now taken them over. Flowers cover the dresses completely, but the design varies: there is multi-colored embroidery, voluminous buds, and individual delicate petals.

Lace dresses

Do you think lace is for grandmothers? It's time to reconsider outdated views - designers offer brides dozens of models that do not look like they were pulled out of an ancient chest. Particularly admirable are dresses with the finest knitting:

Wedding capes

Another trend that timidly appeared a year ago and has gained full strength. The wedding cape has turned from a salvation from cool weather into a full-fledged part of the bride’s image. It can be laconic long or short and embroidered with rhinestones:

Variations

The variety of models of straight wedding dresses cannot but delight future brides: in wedding salons there is an outfit for every taste and budget. Shift wedding dresses can be divided into the following categories:

With sleeve

Styles with lace sleeves are especially popular among brides. In combination with an open back, they emphasize the sexuality and femininity of the bride. Satin sleeves are usually decorated with stones, sequins or embroidery. They look very stylish and elegant, since designers mostly sew classic-cut sleeves from satin - straight or flared.

Translucent chiffon sleeves will highlight the grace of the bride’s beautiful hands. These sleeves go well with fishtail or loose-fitting dresses.

Outfits with nylon sleeves are also popular. They allow you to hide minor skin imperfections and at the same time emphasize the mystery and playful mood of the bride. Nylon sleeves can be decorated with embroidery or lace.

Sleeves made of natural silk are usually sewn with a tight-fitting cut, which perfectly emphasizes the hands and thin wrists of the bride. Such sleeves can be found on dresses with a classic cut.

Velvet sleeves shimmer beautifully under the sun's rays. Velvet dresses emphasize the bride’s individuality, since only a brave girl with unconventional taste can choose such an outfit.

Straight wedding dresses with sleeves should be chosen if:

  • The bride wants to hide skin imperfections on her arms and shoulders: small rashes, redness, acne, scars or tattoos;
  • The celebration will be held during the cold season, since a chiffon dress with thin straps will look at least inappropriate in the winter cold;
  • The young newlywed wants to divert the attention of others from her full arms and shoulders;
  • After the painting, the newlyweds plan to get married. According to church rules, entering church with bare shoulders and arms is prohibited;
  • Religious views prohibit exposing arms and shoulders.

Sleeveless

Dresses with cap sleeves are no less popular among brides. These sleeves barely cover the shoulder, exposing the arms and wrists. Cap sleeves are made from satin, chiffon, copron or any other fabric suitable for creating a wedding dress. They are suitable for those with narrow shoulders, visually expanding them.

Sleeveless dresses usually have a corset shape that beautifully lifts the chest and shows off the graceful collarbones. Wedding dresses with a corset are suitable for those with a beautiful bust, long neck and thin arms.

Thin and graceful spaghetti straps in a wedding dress add tenderness and sexuality to the image. They are made of lace or satin and decorated with sequins, beads, pearls or openwork lace.

Medium-width straps in combination with the top of the bodice form beautiful cutouts in the neckline, emphasizing the chest, collarbones and neck. Using a neckline, you can adjust the upper part of a woman's figure. An equally popular option is wide straps that taper towards the edge of the bodice of the dress.

Maxi

Long wedding dresses are considered a classic option. Such models are not burdened with unnecessary elements and decor, but their simplicity captivates brides from all over the world. Not so long ago, dress models with slits in the back or sides have gained popularity. This style visually lengthens the legs, making them slimmer. In addition, it gives the image a sexy and playful look.

Another fashionable option is a dress with a long skirt. A more well-known option is that the skirt is short in front and long in the back. Dresses with skirts that are long in front and short in the back look no less elegant.

A wedding dress with a straight silhouette can also be made with a train. Such a truly royal outfit will emphasize the splendor of the celebration and the importance of the main character of the holiday - the bride. The train can be long or short, the main rule is that the bride should be comfortable and comfortable.

Mini

A short dress has a number of advantages over models with long hemlines:

  • A short dress is more comfortable to wear. It is not so hot and does not require special preparation, like, for example, a dress with a long train;
  • A mini-length dress will cost less than its maxi-length counterpart;
  • This outfit can be worn to another evening celebration, you just need to replace accessories or shoes.

Mini-length wedding dresses also surprise with a variety of styles and models. There are options for every taste: with or without sleeves, with a deep neckline and a small neckline, with or without a slit. Any girl can find an outfit to suit her taste. Models with variable lengths are no less popular: the length of the front part of the dress is mini or midi, and there is a beautiful train at the back.

The main thing that the bride should not forget about when choosing a dress that is above the knee length is that such an outfit will emphasize the legs and focus attention on the hips. Therefore, owners of curvy figures should be especially careful when choosing such a dress.

Midi

Midi length dresses are universal because they suit a wide variety of body shapes. The main advantages of midi dresses are:

  • The number of models and styles that allow brides of any height to look equally chic;
  • A midi dress does not expose the legs above the knee, which allows you to hide existing imperfections;
  • Ideal length, suitable for both hot and cool day weddings;
  • The versatility of the outfit allows you to choose it for both a classic and a themed wedding.

In addition, midi length dresses are extremely convenient if the wedding is taking place abroad. Transporting a full-length dress can cause a number of inconveniences, but a straight-cut midi wedding dress is much easier to pack.

Princess Dresses

Girls dream of such fabulous outfits when they imagine their future wedding. Fluffy skirts, in which you would not be ashamed to appear at a royal ball, are not always comfortable, but these are minor things. Who cares about practicality when a dream comes true:

Images for different seasons

The choice of wedding dress largely depends on the time of year when the special event will be held. It is important that the bride feels comfortable: does not freeze in winter, does not overheat in summer.

Do not forget that the entire holiday should be arranged in a single style. It is necessary to carefully prepare not only the image of the bride, but also the groom: suit, shoes, tie, hairstyle and boutonniere - all this is of great importance for creating the right holiday atmosphere.

In addition, you need to think about the accessories, shoes and jewelry that the bride will wear on her wedding day. Their choice also directly depends on the time of year. Famous designers and stylists have already thought out universal images that every girl can adjust and use for her celebration:

  • For a celebration in winter, you need to choose an outfit made of thick, warm fabric. The ideal option is velvet, jacquard or crepe. A fur coat or bolero with long sleeves will be an ideal addition to your wedding look. If the newlyweds plan to have a wedding photo shoot outdoors, it is better to choose low-heeled shoes. If the bride is not at risk of hypothermia in the open air, you can choose shoes with a closed toe and heel;
  • It is better to choose a midi or mini length wedding dress for an autumn celebration; the main thing is that it does not have a train, since rainy autumn weather can ruin the snow-white hem and the bride’s mood. As a beautiful accessory, you can use a light cape or cardigan in case the weather turns bad and the wind rises;
  • For a summer celebration, you need to choose an outfit from delicate, light, flowing fabrics that will not weigh down the image. Chiffon, satin or light crepe are ideal for a summer wedding dress. In addition, you can pay attention to models with an asymmetrical skirt, an open back, and an unusual neckline. When choosing shoes, you have the opportunity to try on stiletto heels or light sandals, if the holiday style allows;
  • For a spring celebration, you should choose a dress from dense fabrics: jacquard, taffeta or velvet. The weather at this time of year is still capricious, the wind may rise or it may rain. The bride should be prepared for such unexpected surprises.

As an accessory, you can use a cape or bolero made of light but dense fabric. For footwear – low shoes for early spring, shoes or sandals for warmer times.

Wedding minimalism

Simple silhouettes and smooth fabrics will be chosen by brides who love graceful naturalness. Minimalistic does not mean boring, judge for yourself:

Some designers showed outfits embroidered with rhinestones, pearls, sparkles and even fabulous dragonflies. You want to admire such luxury for hours, and then definitely buy:

Pearl

From jewelry for mature ladies, pearls have turned into a remarkable detail of the bride's image. Intricate pearl necklaces, belts and clothing items appeared in the collections of several designers and looked fashionable.

Bride's wedding dress 2021

Hello! Perhaps someone is already facing the choice of that dream DRESS? Perhaps you have already seen a similar article here on bride.info, but you haven’t read me yet? And I have my own point of view on this matter. Therefore, if you are interested, read on) I will share interesting finds, my story of choice, as well as the idea of ​​a “second” life for a dress after the wedding)

Do you want one main secret? You should be comfortable in your wedding dress. You've probably heard: “You can endure inconvenience for one day, for the sake of beauty.” In part, I even agree with this, but “kamon”?, who are we deceiving? Only yourself! Just imagine that you chose a corset embroidered with beads and sequins, and in the places where all this beauty comes into contact with your skin (the inside of your arms (in the armpit area, for example, when walking)) it begins to rub painfully, and red spots appear. Well, you will be patient, but memories of pain will definitely remain in your memory (we are psychologically designed that way). A dress that is too fluffy with a train can also cause difficulties, and maintaining its original appearance at least until the middle of the wedding day is not an easy task (you will have to carry the train in your hands, and you also have a bouquet, or “stress” your girlfriends) But then there’s dancing the whole evening and your dance together - don’t forget about it)

I insist on the formula: comfortable + beautiful = perfect dress. Don’t give up convenience in favor of beauty, remember my words, honestly?

Style. There is no secret! Choose a dress according to your figure. The salon will definitely help you with this. There is always a choice, for one type of figure, at least two dress styles will definitely suit. The dress should advantageously emphasize your strengths and smooth out rough edges that may only seem like shortcomings to you, or may actually exist insignificantly. Let there be a picture as an example ⬇️

Determine your body type and choose a dress silhouette)

Dress of 2021! What is it like?

The New Year dictates its innovations in fashion to us; wedding fashion has also undergone changes. For example, wedding dress designers say that this season’s wedding dress will be complemented by a wedding suit and even a jumpsuit)

But if you are not so extreme, and also dream of a dress, then let’s continue!

The bride of 2021 is a person with individuality, so if you have any ideas about a bright touch in your image, feel free to implement it, time allows and even pushes. Designers also note the non-standard color of the dress.

Experiment!

In addition to bright colors, cream, milky and powdery shades remain popular. Always appropriate! My dress was in a milky shade, this is one of the + for his further future life (second appearance).

They say that this season the bride can choose a dress from a variety of light skirts with a long train (but remember about convenience). I had a train, and it remained in very decent shape until the end of the evening, but it was a very comfortable length, did not weigh down the image, and helped give my height a couple of extra centimeters, since I myself am small.

By the way, no one has thrown minimalism into the far corner, and if you are a modest bride or for a laconic look, then you can also stay on the wedding fashion line in 2021. Dresses made of satin, without rhinestones and unnecessary trim, will look sharply fashionable.

Dress length. I wanted a short one - no problem, the designers support it. The 2021 dress collections feature models with a short skirt in the front and a long skirt in the back.

And I really like transformable dresses. I was originally looking for something like this. I even tried it on, the price was twice as high as mine (the salon was expensive), but beautiful is not the right word? (I’ll attach a photo) They are also in fashion in the 2020 season.

For me it's the ideal option. For off-site registration or at the registry office with a fluffy skirt, and already for the banquet part, in an elegant “fish”?

In general, no matter what the trend is now, and no matter where fashion takes us, you, the Bride, should feel special in the dress in which you will say “Yes” to him. And let it sound somehow fabulous, too romantic, but damn, how could it be otherwise - this is one of the most romantic, touching, wonderful moments of your life ❤️ Therefore, when, if not on your wedding day, be indescribably beautiful in your wedding dress? dress? Agree?)

I love my dress! It is perfect in every way and I will definitely wear it again. Therefore, I decided that it would undergo some changes - it would become knee-length, there would (possibly) be a cutout on the back - and now the wedding dress has turned into an evening dress and I can go to someone’s wedding in it) This can be done, as it seems to me, with anyone A wedding dress, even an A-line one, will turn out very beautiful - I’m sure!) The main thing is to find a good, competent seamstress?

Well, wives, are you ready to share the story of choosing your dress in the comments? Or maybe you have ideas for a second life for a dress besides mine?

Brides, do you have any questions? I'd be glad to chat??

Belts

20s style and feathers

By this point, you probably realized that wedding dresses 2018 cannot be called boring. They prepared another surprise for us - Art Deco. The twenties of the last century were the time when women finally left the house to fulfill their dreams. They took up sports, started dancing and leading an active social life, which was reflected in their clothes: dresses became shorter and more elegant. The rhinestones, feathers, pearls and geometric patterns that ruled fashion at the time have returned to the New York catwalks:

Wedding dresses: fashion trends 2021

In the coming year, designers urge girls to be more daring in their choices. Lush, layered skirts, deep necklines, open backs or bare shoulders. Each of these details adds a touch of sexuality to the image. But it is very important that only one of them is in the dress. Luxurious and unusual dresses will be especially popular.

At the same time, for girls who prefer more modest outfits, closed, minimalist dresses were presented. They look no less impressive, especially on slender girls. It should be noted that in the coming year, stylists offer to choose two outfits for such a celebration. This way you can change your look a little and wear a more comfortable option for an informal part.

As for the choice of material for sewing a dress, there are quite a few options that will be relevant. Among them there are both finer fabrics and expensive, noble ones. We recommend taking a closer look at satin, silk, lace, jacquard, chiffon, as well as organza and matte brocade. They look the most advantageous among all the variety.

Fur, feathers, pearls and contrasting inserts are often used as decoration. Choose what suits you.

The color scheme in the coming season will not be so diverse. The white dress also occupies a leading place. It is this shade that personifies the innocence, tenderness and purity of a girl. Stylists recommend taking a closer look at light tones of peach, beige and blue. Each of them looks no less elegant. But you should devote a little more time to the process of choosing such a dress. After all, the shade should ideally match the skin color.

Noticeable sleeves

If you have already chosen a dress with sleeves, let them be unusual - this is the motto that designers followed when presenting new collections. Interesting shapes and original decorations are now the order of the day. The more eccentric the better:

Dresses for tall brides

Any bride, whether she is a pretty plump woman or a tall, slender model, wants to stand out on her wedding day and feel the admiring glances of the groom and her girlfriends.

Model-sized brides always look attractive and can afford almost any wedding outfit, but here there are some subtleties that you definitely need to know about.

Strictly prohibited for tall brides

  • On fashion catwalks, tall models show dresses and skirts that are too short. But this is just a podium, everything is different in life! Ultra-short clothes look great on fragile girls of short stature. Calculating the minimum possible length of a wedding dress is quite simple: standing up straight, you need to lower your arms along your body - the hem of the dress or skirt should correspond to the point that the tips of the middle fingers touch.
  • When choosing an outfit for a wedding, you should avoid tight-fitting sheath dresses and A-line dresses. In addition to their beauty, they visually add unnecessary height centimeters.
  • Three-quarter length sleeves give the impression that the girl has outgrown the outfit.
  • Dresses with a low back are more acceptable for short girls.
  • An elegant and light wide skirt, starting from the chest line, does not at all emphasize the beauty of a tall female figure and hides all the curves of a beautiful body.

Important tips for choosing a dress for tall brides

The best wedding dress option for a tall girl is the mermaid model.
An outfit with a low waistline and an elongated corset will prevent your figure from appearing too tall. A shortened outfit will look great on long-legged beauties. And styles with transverse embroidery or patterns visually add the missing volume to thin brides.

If there are any body features that you would like to hide from prying eyes, then you should be more careful when choosing a wedding dress:

  1. There is no need to opt for narrow straight-cut dresses and it is advisable that the skirt widens towards the bottom. The ideal option would be a dress with fluffy flounces at the bottom. You can choose a dress with a full skirt, but in this case it should be multi-tiered. Plus-size girls should emphasize diagonal lines and the integrity of the silhouette.
  2. A straight dress with a deep neckline and wide straps will add tenderness and femininity to your figure. And if the top layer of the dress is made of lace or guipure, then the outfit will look especially stylish and elegant. This toilet is in perfect harmony with flowing long hair, small hairpins, hairpins and a miniature bouquet of simple but expensive flowers.
  3. A simple dress in a feminine style in the Greek style will help hide narrow hips and focus attention on beautiful breasts.

The material for a wedding dress can be absolutely anything. And in a long knitted dress, a tall and slender bride, unlike plump or petite girls, will look stunning.

As accessories for a wedding dress, you can use massive bracelets, large necklaces, large earrings, and lace gloves. You shouldn’t “build” an intricate hairstyle; a neat braid, curls falling over your shoulders or a low bun will look beautiful.

No matter how beautiful the bride is with a spectacular and proportionate figure, under no circumstances should she slouch, otherwise all her attractiveness and elegance will be negated. Tall height is an important advantage, and the bride will find clear confirmation of this at her own wedding!

Big bows

Bows appeared in last year's collections, but this year they became large and catchy. They are no longer hidden in the folds, but appear in the most noticeable places - the waist, sleeves and back.

Dress models

Girls of short or medium height run the risk of getting lost in full skirts and a large number of details. But tall ladies in such dresses look like princesses, and at the same time do not lose their individuality.

  • Ballroom. The ballgown has a fitted top and a floor-length bell skirt. In such a dress you will become the queen of the ball in every sense. And it will also make girls with any type of figure look like the famous “hourglass”.
  • "Mermaid". The skirt of this model is narrowed and widens at the bottom. Thanks to one of its main advantages of the figure - long legs - the fishtail will look as “natural” as possible in principle.
  • “Ballerina” is a short (above the knee) dress with a bell skirt. Suitable for ladies with stunning long legs!
  • With a long train. They are simply created for you! This style looks incredibly organic on tall girls. Take a special look at these styles with a V-neck at the back - they will look elegant, emphasizing the shoulders.
  • A-silhouette. If you have complexes due to your height and would like to “shrink” a little, then a classic cut reminiscent of the letter “A” will help with this. It will visually shorten the silhouette and also narrow the waist.

A categorical “no”

You should avoid dresses with short (“T-shirt”) sleeves and dresses with a collar. Such elements will look unnatural on your long arms and neck, “chopping off” them.

Long veil

Our passion for the floor-length veil is limitless, we regularly declare our love for it and, finally, designers have heard it. The ideal symbol of tenderness, femininity and purity will adorn every bride. You can choose a suitable long veil for almost any dress, the image will immediately become sophisticated. If you haven't considered this detail before, think again.

Shoes

Last but not least important point. You should think about shoes before you choose a dress - this way they will definitely match each other.

Choose the shoes that suit you best. Don't think that they make you a "giantess" or a "communications tower." Wedding day is for the bride and groom. Therefore, you can wear stilettos, flats, and mid-heeled shoes. The only advice here is to combine the height of the heel and the length of the outfit. If the hem of your dress reaches the floor, then the heel height should be 5-8 cm, otherwise either your legs will “stick out” funny, or the hem will drag (not like a train, but like a rag).

Accessories black

Many designers presenting at Bridal Fashion Week decided that 2021 wedding dresses must be black. In our culture, such attire is still associated with anything, but not with a wedding. But black accessories will make the look stylish:
