WONDERING WHAT’S NEW IN BRIDAL FASHION? Well, you’re in the right place! We’ve curated our favorite trends for 2021 and we couldn’t be more excited to share this collection of gowns with you. Whether you consider yourself fashion-forward or more traditional, there’s something for everyone in 2021 bridal fashion. One trend we’re falling in love with is detachable customizations. Maggie Sottero is fully embracing this by offering many of their gowns with numerous sleeve and even skirt fabric options which can be unsnapped and a new style attached quickly and easily to change up your look throughout the wedding day.

One shoulder gowns are also gaining popularity, a style that also fits well with the sleek 90’s Calvin Klein feel that is also re-emerging. If sleek isn’t what you’re going for, we continue to see decadent, scalloped-edge trains and tiered skirts with ruffles, ruffles and more ruffles. Finally, there are some daring details that we’re seeing and can’t get enough of! While they didn’t fit into a specific category, we love them too much not to share! 2021 is really the year (as we say at NOW and Alchemy Events), of embracing who you are! Diversity in styles and color palettes is really what it’s all about. Your wedding is a culmination of your story up until this point and there’s no better time to let it be a true reflection of you personally and your journey together as a couple.
