Bridal look 2021: trends and tendencies

Lace dark dress

The wedding of Dmitry and Olga took place at an altitude of 2320 meters above sea level at the Rosa Khutor resort in Sochi.
This unusual choice of location dictated the rest of the wedding style: lavender instead of roses, a lace dark blue dress instead of a classic white one, Provence instead of pathos and pomp. In a word - aesthetic creativity. Save Saved

Delicate wedding look

It is chosen by romantic natures. One of the main elements that implies a delicate image of the bride is a lace wedding dress in white or beige tones. It is simply impossible to imagine something more airy and fabulous. Lace looks perfect on dresses with mermaid, Greek or straight styles. Which one to choose for your romantic bridal look depends on your body type. The mermaid will perfectly emphasize beautiful curvy shapes, the Greek will suit petite girls, and the straight will perfectly hide the unevenness of the figure (narrow hips - wide shoulders and vice versa).

This style of the bride involves a long or medium veil in one layer with lace, but you can do without it. Swap out the veil for a ribbon or floral headpieces for a fresh spring look. For shoes, you can buy both classic shoes and sandals. And beautifully flowing curls or a loose bun with a few loose strands will make the look even sweeter and more fragile. You can also use floral motifs in manicures and to decorate hairstyles.

In the rhythm of the city

A wedding is not always lace, tenderness and a sea of flowers. For her holiday, the bride Julia chose a short sexy dress and high-heeled sandals. This image fits perfectly with the city style of the holiday.

Simple hairstyle

Give up piled-up hairstyles, varnished bangs and a lot of hairpins. Curls, buns, cascades of hair - this is what will make you feel free and emphasize your impeccable image. It can be braids, simple braids, collected hair, the hairstyle must definitely suit your image and character! You can use fresh flowers, a wreath, a veil, and other accessories in it, even change your dress and the whole look several times, and you will still remain effortlessly tender and attractive.

Country chic

The wedding of Kirill and Dasha is the perfect embodiment of the natural and relaxed rustic style, such a rustic, cozy, homely celebration. Therefore, the bride’s dress was chosen accordingly: light, flowy, made from natural fabrics.

Bride

Of course, the image of the bride is dominant in the couple.
It consists of a carefully selected style and color of dress, shoes, hairstyle, makeup, linen, and accessories. Every detail must be thought out and be in harmony with the other elements both within the image itself and with the overall style of the couple. The most crucial moment is choosing a dress (more about dresses). It should not only please the bride, but also correspond to the features of the figure. The dream dress will be like this if it emphasizes your advantages and manages to hide your flaws.

It is worth approaching its choice without haste: try on several different styles, ask the salon stylist for advice, think, sleep and buy that dress that cannot be forgotten.

It is recommended to choose shoes for the ceremony with heels, but taking into account the height of the groom, so as not to stand taller than him. The color of the shoes should be in harmony with the dress, but does not have to be white.

To create a wedding hairstyle (let's consider the best options) and makeup, it is best to invite a specialist. A complex hairstyle needs to be rehearsed, a trial version done, and if necessary, more than one.

Makeup for a wedding celebration has its own tricks. To prevent your face from looking flat in photographs taken with flash, professional makeup artists use facial sculpting elements that are not familiar to everyone.

When thinking about how you will look on your big day, it is important to find a middle ground and not overdo it. There is no need to combine a lush dress, a large bouquet, large jewelry, bright makeup and manicure. One or two bright accents are enough.

Hair and makeup

Makeup artists urge you to forget about elaborate makeup and thick coverage. The trend is naturalness, radiant skin and sophistication. So start taking care of your face six to eight months before your wedding. The habit of using moisturizer, healthy sleep and proper nutrition - and on this day you will look flawless. Matte lipstick and moderate eye makeup will help highlight your natural beauty. If you want something special, try using metallic eyeshadow or glossy lipstick. Main rule:

a bright accent should not overload your image. The choice of hairstyle depends entirely on your style. Sleek Hollywood waves and a low bun in the style of Hailey Bieber are still in style. But more and more often, brides prefer pulled-back hair with loose strands and natural curly curls. The bride's look can also be complemented by a silk scarf, bow or ribbon in her hair.

Urban chic

The only traditional thing about Anya’s look was the color of the dress – white. The bride has never had a weakness for ruffles, rhinestones, etc., so she chose a simple floor-length dress with thin straps, a leather jacket and sneakers. The emphasis was placed on the color of the lipstick - dark purple.

Traditional wedding image of the bride

The good old classic will never go out of style. A classic “look” implies a fluffy ball gown exclusively in white (an A-line outfit is also allowed). The veil and shoes are the same color (necessarily closed-toed pumps). This image of the bride implies minimalism and elegance, so the jewelry should be made of the same material and with the same stones. Ideally, this should be a set of earrings and a necklace, but you can add a bracelet and ring if desired. And, of course, don't forget about the tiara.

It also means a strict high hairstyle, but without excesses and the most natural makeup, emphasizing the beauty of the bride. If you need inspiration for a classic bridal look, check out photos from royal weddings over the years. Manicure should also be done in light colors. A French jacket will definitely be a good option, but you can do something more original. A classic look is suitable for any time of year, but as a winter look for a bride, it is ideal. Ball dresses, due to their fluffiness and multi-layered nature, will be the warmest option if made from thick fabric. A fur coat and gloves will make you a real princess.

Shiny dress

The wedding of Sergei and Karina was decorated in bright colors, so the bride decided to choose a dress that was bright, noticeable, and eye-catching. Her choice fell on a silhouette shimmering dress with a slit, and the look was complemented by massive earrings and a multi-colored bouquet.

Bridal bouquet

A wedding bouquet can complement a stylish wedding look. Which design solution to choose is purely a matter of taste.

However, it is worth considering that in the summer, most often it is the roses that wither.

Therefore, when choosing a bouquet for a wedding held in the summer, it is best to choose a bouquet with flowers that can withstand high temperatures.

Forest Fairy

The wedding of Daria and Anton is a real forest fairy tale with a ceremony by the water, a live deer and an open-air banquet. The bride decided to complement this atmosphere with very cozy accessories in her outfit: a wreath of greenery and a warm knitted cardigan.

Creative wedding image of the bride

Today it is fashionable to shock the public. Some girls do this with pleasure, including creating a bold wedding look for themselves that can not only surprise, but also shock guests. Modern brides can stand out thanks to the following dress elements:

Style - short or sexy with many open parts, outfits nowadays can be found in the collection of any designer. What about dresses that are almost completely sheer? Everyone's attention in such a dress is guaranteed. If this is what you want, then consider these styles.
Color - once upon a time it was a shock for everyone to see a cream-colored wedding dress, but now it is a common thing, moreover, the bride is now generally not limited by anything in her choice of color. Blue, red, all the colors of the rainbow together or even black - whatever you want. But be prepared that not everyone will be able to understand your choice, but stand your ground. The main thing is that you like the image for the wedding. If you are a bright personality, then why can’t the dress be like that. By the way, you can make only individual elements colored, for example, the hem, belt or lacing of the corset.
Style – we are talking about themed weddings. Do you want the image of a bride in a retro style or a rock and roll queen, or maybe a zombie or a dude? Nothing should stop you. But in this case, keep in mind that the entire wedding should be done in the appropriate theme. Otherwise, it will look strange: if everyone is dressed normally and only you are a zombie.

When it comes to hair, makeup and accessories, it’s difficult to give any recommendations in a creative style, it all depends on what you choose. If it’s difficult to imagine the final picture yourself, seek help from professional stylists. They will offer you two or three options for the finished look, and you will only have to choose the one you like best.

Short dress with full skirt

The bride Katya sewed the dress for her eco-wedding herself: light, short, with a playful full skirt. And I was right - it was comfortable, not hot and very easy to climb onto the roof of the Taiga House and admire the sunset. And during the ceremony, she even took off her shoes, which added even more intimacy and ease to the holiday.

Wedding makeup and hair styling

In order to create a gentle, romantic image of the bride at the wedding, it is necessary to invite an experienced stylist and makeup artist, and even better, the same person, or at least people working together, will do hair styling and makeup.

In addition, you should take into account that the makeup and hairstyle should be super long-lasting, because with this hairstyle and makeup you will stay awake throughout the entire stressful and eventful special event.

It is also very important that the stylist and makeup artist are qualified specialists, because this day will be captured in photographs and videos.

Jacket + boots

The wedding of Maria and Leonid took place in a cold autumn in a pine forest, so it was important for the bride not only to look beautiful, but also not to freeze. A fluffy red jacket and matching boots helped her with this. The image turned out to be very cozy and bright.

Veil

Is it possible to imagine the perfect image without a veil? This year definitely yes. One has only to look at the accessories that are created by wedding designers today. Wide satin headbands, thin tiaras, geometric hairpins - all this will complement your look just as well as a veil. Another alternative option is a classic hat with a wide brim and a ribbon in the style of Bianca Jagger. For brides who dream of a traditional option, the designers created a veil with a scattering of small stones and rhinestones. Also trending are the vintage “Juliet veil,” a headband with a bow, and a boho-chic veil with fringe.

Elegance and comfort

A cozy country area, natural decor and a magical evening ceremony, lit by dozens of candles... A classic fluffy dress and heels simply do not suit such an atmosphere. Therefore, the bride Masha chose a straight white dress with long sleeves and an open back for her look, and preferred short boots to traditional pumps.

Floral motifs

They add whimsical charm to any wedding dress silhouette and are a great choice for brides who prefer a light and airy look.

Puffy sleeves

If you like this 2021 wedding look, but you are not yet ready to try it on completely, choose models with removable sleeves that can be removed during the wedding party.

Just look at the photos of stylish wedding looks 2021, and you will definitely want to try something similar on yourself. Short jacket dresses and combined dresses will be an excellent alternative to the bride’s usual outfit.

And in order to feel like a queen on your wedding day, add transparent tulle or a stylish cape to your look, which will also become a popular trend in 2021.

Another chic option instead of wedding dresses will be the trend for the coming 2021 - a jumpsuit.

Mini dress

Dasha and Sasha's wedding was decorated in an urban style with elements of loft and geometry. Such an unusual concept required a very non-standard image of the bride.

Dress

For every bride, creating a wedding look begins, of course, with the dress. This year, fashion designers have prepared many surprises. The personalization trend breaks the mold of ideal brides in fluffy white dresses and gives room for imagination. Wedding stylists suggest considering not only overalls and top and skirt sets, but also snow-white suits. And those who are closer to the classic image of the bride will like smooth satin dresses that organically complement the pockets. This style is ideal for those who are looking for a mid-length dress and choose minimalism.

Mermaid dresses never go out of fashion. Only this year, designers suggest paying attention to models made of thick lace and with voluminous embroidery. By the way, brides are increasingly asking to decorate their dress with initials or flowers after they buy a ready-made outfit. Another fashion experiment this year is a dress in linen style. This choice looks bold and perfectly emphasizes a sophisticated figure. But the simplicity and conciseness that many brides prefer this year does not mean that we should forget about princess dresses. This style remains popular, although it has undergone some changes. Now, instead of a voluminous hoop skirt and corset top, designers are creating airy models with dropped sleeves and a graceful accent at the waist. But the main feature of such a wedding dress is simple: it is more comfortable than many dresses in which it is difficult to spend the whole day, from registration to the party.

Blue dress

The wedding of Olga and Dmitry is a celebration of the strongest love, which they decided to arrange after 10 years of marriage. And the main guest at this holiday was their little son! It is not surprising that when choosing a dress, the bride decided to abandon the traditional white color, replacing it with sky blue.

Stylish minimalism

Minimalism has long been popular not only as a wedding style. Often, laconic taste dictates lifestyle: in the choice of wardrobe, accessories, image and even the creation of the environment. It is not surprising that people with similar preferences tend to be reserved when planning a wedding. Laconism can be called “elegant simplicity”, in which the main emphasis is on clean lines and naturalness.
