5 Bridal Trends: Fall 2021
/With the Holiday season upon us so is cuffing season. Whether it’s new relationships, new engagements, or wedding e-vites, love is in the air and it’s here to stay. The cycle comes around every year but somehow it overwhelms us all over again the moment we see that engagement announcement on Instagram followed by the 10 others we’ll see throughout the rest of the season. It’s a popular time to cuff, engage, and wed simply because of the celebratory spirit in the air. And what’s better than getting hitched or planning to during the most wonderful time of the year? New brides are rolling in quickly. You might know one or even be one! A wedding is an important occasion. Some would venture to say, the most important one in your life. And with special occasions come special outfits. The right outfit. And so amidst the venue, flowers, and photography “talk” comes the most important talk of all. The talk that no one prepares you for (except us). This conversation will probably put you into some minor (but totally worth it) debt because it’s your day. It is the question that you will ask yourself before anyone else does - what am I going to wear?!
First and foremost, thank you for choosing Brides Of Florida to assist in this very fun and important endeavor. If a woman does anything right, it’s shopping. As a bride finding her wedding dress, you are essentially shopping for one show-stopping dress for the special ball.
Below we have curated a list of 5 Bridal trends for Fall 2021. These trends have come before only to make a reappearance and all have the potential for any kind of modernization. Whether it’s a boho, vintage, modern, or sexy style you are looking for -it is all right here. And if you have no idea what you want, you will very soon.
1. The Corset Bodice
The corset reemergence is back and better than ever. This one goes out to the traditional but sexy bride. Holding onto tradition is still on-trend. The corset bodice will allow the bride to do just that while still feeling timeless and sexy. This style accentuates all the right parts on just about every type of body. Enzoani can show us why corset gowns are back.
2. The Bell & Balloon “Puff” Sleeves
When it comes to a dramatic sleeve, as a bride, you have two ways to go. The Bell sleeve and Balloon “Puff” sleeve. The Medieval era introduced us to the bell sleeve and then made her appearance within the 70s. This one is especially going out to the Boho bride who aspires to be free and ethereal. As for the “Puff” sleeve, this one goes out to the bride with an 80s kick. While your mother’s wedding dress is not on-trend, the sleeves are. This sleeve design is very Bridgerton inspired as it creates a sense of modern regency without the chaotic Madonna fluff.
3. The Sexy Cut-Out
A top trend within Bridal Fashion Week was the sexy cutout. For the bride who dares to be bold, this trend is a lovely one. Whether the dress is modern, contemporary, or boho, the twist of a cut-out can turn any dress into a masterpiece. This specific silhouette is very sexy and understated without giving too much away. As a bride, you still want to be classy but don’t underestimate how much fun you can have with your dress. The possibilities are endless!
4. The High Neck & Halter Necklines
No one can forget Meghan Markle’s Stella McCartney debut in 2018. Modest but not prudish this dress gave future brides some new inspiration for their Pinterest boards. This halter neckline allows for extra coverage with some flare. Not only is this take on bridal sexy but it is also very lengthening to the silhouette. An alternative to this neckline would come with the addition of a sleeve. This gives the bride a Victorian but not at all boring feel. Some would call it a modernized vintage gown. So whether you’re feeling like Markle or very into the Victorian aesthetic, a high neck could be your best friend.
5. The Colorful Hues
While wearing white has been the wedding dress shade of choice for centuries, it wasn’t always the case. The earliest wedding dress dating from the 17th century was actually blue. The point was to wear your best dress no matter the hue. It wasn’t until Queen Victoria’s taste that wedding dresses became coined as ‘only white’. She wore an ivory silk gown and so the shade has been heavily popularized ever since. But what goes around comes around. And so, colorful hues are back. Designers have experimented with different hued styles and we’re not mad about it. These undertones range from shades of pink, peach, yellow, beige, etc. This approach is subtle and whimsical. Bridal style is breaking tradition completely with this trend. We’ll see how long it lasts but for right now brides of 2021 are having fun.
Finding your wedding dress is not simple. So we do not expect this blog post alone to answer all your bridal questions but we hope it flows your inspiration for your big day. In the end, you can wear what you want. Modern, vintage, boho, or a little sexier -it is whatever makes you feel like you! Do not hesitate to question or even keep looking. But more importantly, do not be afraid to choose what makes you feel beautiful.
