Top 40 Weddings Trends in 2021

From Pandemic-Friendly Weddings to Accessible Bridal Couture

— December 31, 2021 — Lifestyle
The 2021 wedding trends supported the rise of micro-weddings, pop-up chapels, scaled-down weddings and more relaxed looks. With restrictions on the number of people that could safely be able to gather to celebrate milestone moments, couples favored more intimate ceremonies with friends and loved ones.

Brides, grooms and members of the bridal party are opting for styles that celebrate individuality, as seen with designs that share a common thread yet still let a sense of uniqueness shine through.

To simplify the stressful process of planning for a life-changing event, brands created new kits and services to support newlyweds. Standout examples include customizable engagement ring kits, personalized name change kits and services that help to keep couples in the loop about the weather on their special day.

Find more lifestyle innovations in the Trend Hunter 2022 Trend Report.
