So, what’s trending on the bridal scene for 2022, here are some of the latest exciting ideas.

Bows

Bows on dresses for the bride and bridesmaids are proving very popular. Etsy has seen a 51% increase in searches for bow gowns or dresses and a 114% increase in searches for bow-based accessories. Bows can be dainty or oversized, gently sculpted or flambouyant and over the top. Bows add romance and drama and work just as well for a wedding gown as on bridesmaid dresses for children.

Retro 1960s style

Embrace that retro look of A-line dresses plus team up with a shorter veil and veil alternatives like pillbox hats, all part of that pared back 1960s vibe.

Bridgerton-Inspired weddings

Who couldn’t fail to be inspired by Bridgerton, a style that has its own title now – “regencycore”, all the romance and drama of the 18^th century oozing fairytale opulence, elegance and vintage-inspired luxury. Wedding dresses are puff sleeves teamed with long, bridal gloves and pearl veils.

Sustainable weddings

The eco-friendly wedding is gathering momentum like a runaway train…electric of course. Carbon footprint can impact on every element of a wedding day from locally sourced food, in-season UK flowers, short journeys from ceremony to reception right down to the fine detail of sustainable table designs and wedding favours. This trend also includes garden weddings.

AnniCeptions

Think after party and then some, an AnniCeption is a fusion of the words ‘anniversary’ and ‘reception’ and represents a second celebration after the main wedding reception. Borne out of the pandemic where some brides had to make do with an intimate reception with a limited number of guests, many brides-to-be are actually embracing this trend and opting for a conventional wedding reception and then an AnniCeption out of choice.

An AnniCeption is a celebration of the wedding day itself. Some couples choose to recreate it whereas others take the concept of wedding reception to the next level with unusual entertainment and some fresh ideas.
