Check out some trends to look out for in 2022:
1. Birdcage veils
There is no denying that this accessory can really elevate your bridal look. A lot of brides are going for a vintage vibe, and the birdcage veil is the perfect way to achieve exactly that.
2. Transitional pieces
Rather than shop for two dresses for both the church ceremony and the reception, a lot of brides are opting for dresses that by adding - or taking away parts of their wedding attire can showcase a different look
3. Exposed corset bodices
Exposed corsets are becoming more popular in the bridal world as they not only show off brides' figures but also because they spotlight how a dress is made.
4. Oversized ruffles and tiered tulle
Just like in 2021, the coming year is going to witness a lot of big bridal gowns with ruffles and tiered tulles. Some weddings may be big but some gowns will always be bigger!
5. Square necklines
If you are a fan of the hit series, Bridgerton then you'd understand why the square neckline is rising in popularity. The shape was a staple of the Regency fashion spotlighted in the steamy show.
6. Independent designers
Gone are the days where a lot of brides would rather order their dresses from top high-end designers from across the world.
Although there are still brides doing this, there are others who prefer to have their dresses customized by local and independent designers so as to have a more controlled creative process in the making of their dream look.
These trends and more will reign supreme in the coming year and brides who want to look fashionable and au courant on their big day are definitely hopping on this train!
