The wedding world, which has remained traditional and conservative for years, is changing rapidly. Celebrations for show have long ceased to be fashionable. Lovers are increasingly choosing an unusual place or format of the event, inviting only relatives, arranging an intimate wedding, or even organizing a holiday that is different from those to which we are accustomed. For several years, wedding fashion lagged behind the changes taking place, not wanting to acknowledge them - fluffy princess dresses and white color still reigned on the catwalks. The revolution took place a year ago, when designers showed unusual outfits, and this year it became clear that there was no turning back. Fashionable wedding dresses 2020 have become different: although classic models were shown on the catwalks, much was presented that would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. Fashion has rapidly burst into the wedding world, and we will tell you about the main trends in wedding dresses 2021.
Lace and lace flowers
Almost every collection featured dresses fully or partially decorated with lace flowers and other motifs. Here there were the finest weaves on the sleeves or skirt, and noticeable lace that confidently covered the dress completely. If you want such an outfit for yourself, try on as many different models as possible - lace is insidious, sometimes it can unfavorably highlight the flaws of the figure or even the skin.

Wedding dress with bow
Not bows, but bows decorate many models of wedding dresses for 2021-2022. A bow in the form of a bustier, a traditional version at the waist, on the back or in the form of ties on the sleeve - in any model of a wedding dress, such a decorative element completes the look and gives the outfit femininity and sophistication.
Volumetric flowers
Incredibly beautiful dresses, decorated with voluminous flowers scattered throughout the outfit, won our hearts. Small flowers in the same shade as the fabric of the outfit or even contrasting embroidery looked great on the catwalks. When choosing a dress like this, keep in mind that such flowers will naturally add volume, so make sure that they are not located where you do not need it at all.

New models and styles for wedding dresses 2020–2021
A variety of styles and styles of wedding dresses are typical for the new season. Shades of blue, embroidery, and even black elements are in fashion. This year's wedding dresses come in a variety of styles. At the same time, certain general trends in new collections of fashion designers can be traced quite easily.
First of all, fashion designers have moved away from the minimalist traditions of past seasons.
Season trends:
- Long, richly decorated dresses. Very lush long wedding dresses are decorated with pearls, beads, complex embroidery and look like princess dresses.
- The hem has a complex shape. The fashionable hem is asymmetrical, complemented by embroidery or fringe on one side.
- Using a cape instead of a veil. A thick embroidered cape instead of a veil - this solution looks not only original, but also practical for the cool season.
The color scheme has also changed, becoming much less conservative.
In addition to the traditional white color, the collections use:
- cream;
- baby blue;
- blue;
- pink.
And finally, the most significant and eye-catching change is the popularity of black accessories.
The reign of satin and silk
Not long ago, satin dresses for brides were almost impossible to find. Times have changed - we expect that next year wedding shops will be bursting with satin dresses.

Viktor & Rolf
You can always spot interesting silhouettes in the collections of the fashion brand Viktor & Rolf. The designer duo at the head of the brand always produces avant-garde models for the most discerning brides. This Viktor & Rolf collection is dedicated to gardens and floral arrangements, as fabric appliqués in the shape of flowers are one of the brand’s calling cards.
In addition to flowers, models with various bows occupied a special place in the collection: at the waist, on the skirt and a line of bows on the back (this dress deserves special attention). We also note the one-shoulder satin dress and the loose A-line silhouette that is often found in the collection, which will suit brides with any body type.
Among the innovations in the Viktor & Rolf wedding line are dresses with an embossed geometric pattern on a train in the constructivist style. It’s worth taking a closer look at if you are planning a special celebration decor, then dresses can be the finishing touch.
Playing with fabric textures
When creating wedding dresses 2021, designers had a lot of fun, because Wedding Fashion Week had never seen such experiments with texture: voluminous prints, mesh, pleating, crinkled fabric and even feathers. Will the bride's dress have to be steamed until the day before the ceremony? Forget it, now no one will notice the irregularities:

Wedding dress with graceful back
The highlight of a beautiful wedding dress 2021-2022 can be the original back, decorated or simply beautifully cut. A bare back like this will perfectly complement a straight wedding dress in a minimalist style, and a transparent lace one will harmoniously combine with a dress with long sleeves.
Fragility
At the last Bridal Fashion Week, outfits appeared that would ideally highlight the natural tenderness of the bride, while also looking like something unearthly and very fragile. The finest fabrics, string straps and delicate folds captivated us at first sight.

Chic wedding dresses with trains 2020–2021
In the collection of Temperley London and Monique Lhuillier, the main emphasis is on wedding dresses with a fairly pronounced train. True, the rest of the designers’ approach to wedding fashion is exactly the opposite.
Dresses with trains - both light, weightless, and reminiscent of Renaissance dresses - were presented by Temperley London and Monique Lhuillier.
Monique Lhuillier preferred to use light, almost weightless fabrics, decorated with embroidery and beads, and an almost transparent train, which a hundred years ago would have been called “gauze”, while Temperley London seems to have taken inspiration from the fashion of the Renaissance.
The fabrics visually look heavier, and below the bust line the dress is not decorated with any embroidery, beads, or lace. But with such a dress, both a traditional white veil and rather original wedding wreaths of purple, white and pink flowers look great.
Pastel colors
Surprisingly, there is much less color in fashionable wedding dresses 2021, and this is precisely muted pastel. Most designers have returned to white and its shades, only Vera Wang and a few other brands continue to compare brides with birds of paradise.

Wedding accessories 2020–2021: wreaths and headbands
Wreaths, fashionable in 2021, will be an excellent alternative to the classic veil. As a rule, they are chosen by girls who want to give their image even more tenderness and fragility. Crowns look best on brides who boast perfectly precise facial features and healthy, long locks of hair.
Wreaths can be made from fresh flowers and berries, as well as from plastic and textile substitutes. Both options will be quite appropriate and will perfectly complement the wedding look.
Another interesting and quite stylish alternative to the veil are headbands. Vintage fashion played its role, and therefore in 2020–2021, designers recommend brides decorate their heads with retro-style lace headbands. Wide and embroidered with beads, narrow and with large flowers - there is room for imagination to run wild. Choose the one that best matches the dress and other accessories, and boldly conquer the hearts of your guests.
Folds
Draperies and folds create an image that you want to linger on, taking a closer look at the intricate outfit. Be sure to take a closer look at them, the trend seems simple, but it is not - nothing makes the image more elegant.

Soft corset
A controversial trend (in our opinion) and here’s why: despite the fact that a soft corset with cups or their imitation was shown in many collections, it adorned only a few models, openly disfiguring the figures of the rest. The main problem was that the cups looked too small compared to the rest of the dress, and were also low enough to leave too much skin exposed on top. As a result, the models' figures looked caricatured and strange. Once you have settled on such an outfit, choose carefully.

Leg again!
The fame of Angelina Jolie and her famous black dress haunts designers who offer brides to try on this style. We like:

Gigantomania in fashionable wedding dresses 2021
Small flowers scattered across the dress? Graceful, neat bows? Ha - some people decided, enlarging the flowers and bows tenfold. They look impressive, but they don't suit everyone, drawing attention to where they are, so choose wisely.

Fashionable wedding accessories 2020–2021: earrings, necklaces, bracelets
Our fashion designers also did not forget about the classic “troika”, which helps brides place appropriate accents in their image, when developing the main trends in wedding fashion 2021. The most win-win option would be a combination of laconic pearl beads and diamond earrings in a retro style.
However, the new trend of the season will be jewelry made in the Empire style. They are recommended to be worn with dresses that have a high waistline and a flowing maxi skirt. With the help of such jewelry you can attract what is needed in the bride’s neck and décolleté, thereby creating the image of a Greek nymph.
Short dresses
In contrast to the previous trend, designers also offered dozens of short wedding dresses, which have ceased to be something unimaginable, but have become a necessity. More and more couples prefer to come to the registry office only to sign documents, and have a celebration later. For such a trip to the registry office, you need a less formal look, so a short dress, simple or with a train, will be just right.

Wedding dress in Greek style
The Greek style is characterized by elegance and grace, which is very appropriate for a wedding dress.
A long wedding dress with a softly flowing skirt makes you feel like a real goddess. Moreover, the models have many variations. A dress in the Greek style with an open shoulder will look impressive.
Models with a high slit look no less impressive. By adding a Greek-style hairstyle to this dress, you will create an unforgettable, sophisticated look.

When you get married next year and wear something on your head, don’t be modest, let your heart out! Apparently the designers decided so, offering brides a choice of a long veil decorated with large embroidery, floral arrangements and wide-brimmed white hats:

Feathers became an interesting decor for fashionable wedding dresses of 2021-2022. They decorate hemlines and exquisite capes, and some designers even offer a wedding outfit completely decorated with light and airy feathers. Similar wedding dresses can be found in Naeem Khan, Zuhair Murad and Liz Martinez.
