Wedding trends 2021
Regardless of what wedding style and color the newlyweds choose in 2021, all weddings will be united by the following trends:
Environmental friendliness
More and more couples are thinking about the impact of their celebration on the environment. A minimum of plastic and replacing it with paper, using recycled materials, renting rather than buying decor - all this will be typical for a wedding in 2021.
An eco-wedding in 2020 means not only an abundance of greenery in the decor, but a responsible approach to organizing and decorating the celebration.

Intimacy
This trend has been going on for several seasons. The newlyweds are tired of lavish celebrations with a large number of guests. Weddings for up to 40 people are the most relevant celebration format in 2021.
A small wedding allows you not only to reduce costs, but also to devote time to each guest, to fully experience this special day with your family and friends.

The emphasis has shifted from the number of guests to the quality of entertainment and the overall wedding experience for both the newlyweds and their guests.
Individuality
Over the past few seasons, more and more couples are abandoning a specific style and want to tell their unique story at the wedding (or add their own individual notes to a specific style).
Newlyweds and wedding vendors are no longer interested in strictly adhering to a certain style. It is much more interesting to create something that will suit the couple as much as possible.

The perfect hall, the perfect cake, the perfect makeup... Everything should be exactly like this at your wedding.
All wedding dress collections 2021-2022 are filled with sensuality and romanticism
The main thing is the bride's dress. Famous designers used only noble fabrics when sewing dresses:
- silk satin;
- atlas;
- chiffon;
- royal taffeta;
- lace;
- organza;
- jacquard;
- matte brocade;
- crepe.
Flowers, furs, feathers, rhinestones, lace, embroidery, appliqués, and unusual color schemes are used as decoration.
Fashion is constantly changing, a wedding dress cannot remain aloof from all this. Which wedding dress to choose? Sexy, traditional, sophisticated? What colour? Neckline or robe?
The No. 1 wedding trend this year will be open shoulders in a dress. They are reminiscent of the Renaissance, which is known for tenderness and lightness. This option looks very seductive, but at the same time innocent.
Wedding trend #2 is. Such dresses are also called “without anything”. This trendy style will show off a good figure and highlight the beauty of the bride. This year, the minimalism trend provides a good selection of styles: from empire-line dresses to fluffy ones; from a Greek dress, to a dress with a mermaid tail. Also in fashion for 2021-2022 are robes and capes, which are a continuation of the dress itself.
An unusual bell sleeve is also on trend. Such sleeves will be lace and wide. Not all brides prefer pure white; fashion designers have begun to use the beige shade more and more often when sewing wedding dresses. Dresses with printed embroidery will look very beautiful.
Lacing with ribbons is another trend for 2021-2022. They can be quite wide and lacy. It can cover half of the bride's back. If a girl has gorgeous breasts, a v-neckline will be very appropriate. If you can't stop at choosing a backrest, choose the illusion of an open back. You can play with the mesh on the dress. It can cover a corset, maybe with weaving of beads or pearls.
In 2021-2022, the fashion of the 60s is gradually returning - a fluffy knee-length or ankle-length skirt and a neat bodice. More and more often you can see the bride in trousers. Such suits are in no way inferior to traditional dresses. For brides who are getting married for the first time, a jacket, T-shirt or top and trousers are suitable.

Antitrends: what to forget and let go
To make room for something new, you need to say goodbye to the old. We will not write about limousines, vulgar competitions and pigeons at the registry office, because this has long been out of date. But there are also much less obvious things. Check out the list of anti-trends that are unlikely to survive this season:
Floral panels
This element of decor has already been at so many weddings that they have begun to blur into one indistinguishable spot. To decorate the area behind the bride and groom's table, choose something more interesting than a wall of flowers. For example, greenery and light bulbs look wonderful.
Pastel palettes
In this article we talked a lot about non-standard and bright color solutions. And for good reason - pastel colors find it difficult to withstand such competition and fade into the background. Naturally, we are not saying to give them up completely! If you want a wedding in light, muted colors, add some color accents to the decor. The same colored candles, greenery and bright metal are perfect.
Palm trees and pampas grass
In recent years, Instagram has been dotted with these plants, and not only in wedding decor. Fortunately, the choice of floristry is huge, so you can easily find a replacement. How about soft cotton?
Cloning bridesmaids
Don't torture your friends! Different girls cannot look equally beautiful in the same color and style of dress. You can choose a color scheme, and then let them experiment with shades and styles of outfits. So in the photo you will see personalities, and not a one-color cloud with the code name “bridesmaid”.
Velveteen
Speaking of bridesmaid dresses: corduroy is already boring both in looks and in decor. This is a beautiful, sophisticated material that you can use in certain styles (for example, a winter wedding or Dramatic style cannot do without corduroy). But if you have the opportunity to choose something else, do so, leaving the corduroy for later. Better consider lighter fabrics: for example, gauze. This fabric is perfect for table decor because of its interesting texture.
Photo booths
Do you really need hundreds of photos of drunk friends with cardboard mustaches? Let the photographer do his thing, and for more lively snapshots, guests have phones with a camera suitable for selfies. This way, your guests’ photos will be more vibrant and varied (and you’ll save on renting a photo booth).
Fashionable wedding bouquets
It must be fashionable. In 2021-2022, bouquets of free forms, horizontal or vertical, will be relevant. They can be of fancy shapes, with or without greenery, with inserts. Winter bouquets are perfect to complement with berries, adding color. Bouquets of roses or orchids, daisies or peonies, tulips or chrysanthemums - choose a bouquet to suit your wishes and the style of the holiday.
A beautiful bouquet is an accessory; it is an integral part of the entire wedding dress.
