BRIDAL LOOKS

by Anne Pyburn Craig

date posted: March 29, 2021

 

couture

Like everyone else in the milestone festivities field, wedding clothiers are chomping at the bit and bursting with fresh creativity. Some of the festive styles they’re offering in 2021: Gatsby-esque Roaring 20s styles dripping with pearls and crystals; bold, chic prints that pop on white; flawlessly tailored clean lines; puff sleeves; cool pastels like pistachio and sky blue; laser-cut lace; short ceremony dresses; versatile convertible dresses that will take you through the whole day; big ruffles and dazzling sparkles. (We told you it was fun!)

Classic tuxedos aren’t going anywhere, and you can’t go wrong with a navy suit for an evening wedding. But expect to find both suits and tuxes in a rainbow of bold colors like blue, teal, orange, and burgundy, as suit-wearers assert their right to the spotlight. Even charcoal suits are hot stuff with the perfect tie and cufflinks—and don’t forget the boutonnieres.

beauty

Wedding beauty starts today. If you want that glowing look when you walk down the aisle, or even if you just want to feel healthy from head to toe, it all starts from within. Eat all the nuts and berries and greens, swap out sugar for honey, drink the water. Get active in whatever way most satisfies. Treat your hair to avocado or coconut oil once a month. Use whitening toothpaste for a bright smile. You don’t even have to wait until The Day to reap your rewards on this one. If you’re planning to go dramatic with makeup for your celebrations, be sure to do a dry run so you’ll know exactly what to do when it’s time.

jewelry

Jewelry trends reflect the year’s emotional tone: joy and gratitude, a new focus on what’s most important. Lots of people are remaking heirloom pieces into wedding sets, or working with a designer to create something unique and meaningful that resonates.Jewelry trends reflect the year’s emotional tone: joy and gratitude, a new focus on what’s most important.

Brides can enhance any style with the right necklace and earrings. Think of a an elegant multi-strand choker to sweep the neckline, or something chunkier for more effect. Ear crawlers for bohemian style. Elegant pearl drop earrings for a classic style. Or a crown to adorn a wispy up-do. Like a good floral arrangement, jewelry will take your dress and beauty design to the next level.
