Back to Gatsby
Brides for 2021 will be searching for that green light off the docks. The Great Gatsby focuses on many themes, but the frilly finery of the 1920s is a backdrop of the book and every movie inspired by it. Take a page out of that book as you select your wedding gown. The Gatsby trend will show itself in pearls and crystal accents, drop-waist dresses, ruffled skirts, and flapper trappings. Opulence will be the word of the day, so don’t be afraid to pick out a wedding gown that resembles a party dress.
Bridal Wear Goes Boho
Bohemian chic might not be the trend you think of when you imagine your wedding, but it’s worth your while to think again. Chic dresses are set to loom large in 2021, allowing you to capture the feeling of a beach wedding even if you’re nowhere near the sand and surf. Keep an eye out for boho gowns that show off a mix of Victorian style and sweet simplicity. It’s your chance to snag a flattering empire waist dress that will make you feel stunning as you traipse down the aisle. Continue the theme as you pick out gifts for the bridal party and guests. Select something simple and one of a kind, such as leather coasters or a personalized cutting board.

Loads of Lace
Is there anything more ethereal than a bride draped head to toe in lace? The dreamy fabric promises to bring a delicate vibe to the weddings of 2021. No matter what style of dress you prefer, be it a flowing piece or a close-fitting mermaid silhouette, you’ll find a fabulous frock that makes the most of lace. Make sure that you buy a few photo frames ahead of time. You’re going to want pictures of yourself from every possible angle.
Off-White
Wearing white on your wedding day is the tradition…but perhaps it’s time for a change. Colorful wedding gowns are an irresistible trend this year but forget about bold color palettes. In 2021, cool shades reign. Consider walking down the aisle in a sleek champagne dress. Pistachio is a pretty choice as well. From lavender to dove grey, modern brides are eschewing the traditional white dress in favor of soft but chic hues.

Prints with Pizzazz
If you long to step away from what’s expected, a printed gown may be right up your alley. Eye-catching prints are everywhere this year. For you, that might mean a daring polka-dotted gown or a subtle watercolor print. You may decide to be even bolder than that by saying your vows in a dress printed with charming kitty cats or blooming flowers. Pick out a signature cocktail to go with your signature dress and remember to give a toast to your daring spirit.
Cocktail Dresses
Choosing a cocktail dress to change into at your reception, or for your big wedding exit is always a great idea. There are thousands of beautiful choices. And don’t think you have to wear a white cocktail dress, feel free to add color too.
