SHOW-STOPPING SLEEVES

Be it an off-the-shoulder silhouette, sheer lace with illusion cutouts or long billowy bells, there is no doubt that a sleeved wedding gown makes a captivating statement (this one is from Erin Clare Bridal). This romantic look has ebbed and flowed in popularity over the years, but there is a definite resurgence for 2021. And the best part? Sleeves can work with any style. Love!

SHORT AND SWEET

A chic, modern option, the mini is a winning choice for brides more interested in dancing the night away than keeping with the traditional bridal aesthetic. And, the sweet Mini Caspian dress by Odylyne The Ceremony (above) makes it easy to see why these funky little numbers are making a big splash on the wedding fashion scene.

JUMP TO IT

Playful and cutting edge in equal measure, the bridal jumpsuit can instantly elevate your style status to runway-chic, and it’s easy to see why it’s a favourite choice for brides in search of a twist on tradition. We especially love how designers heighten the elegance by combining dainty lace details and a beautiful skirt overlay. Case in point: the Patsy jumpsuit by Rime Arodaky (above).

PRINT PERFECT

Tired of searching for a colour that looks great on everyone? You’re not alone. Say au revoir to the monochromatic maids’ look and embrace dresses splashed with eye-catching designs, like the pretty watercolour print of the Fiko frock by IRO (above), available from The Iconic. Mix and match to your heart’s content.

SIMPLICITY UNVEILED

While there will always be room in our hearts for veils with dainty embellishments, dramatic detailing and sequins that catch the light as you float down the aisle, we love that you can create a dramatic and ethereal look with a simple veil all the same – just like this minimal Shona Joy beauty. Heaven!
