This bride is all pale, all the time. 'The Pathetic White Bride' has to be the [palest collection of photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) that I have ever seen. The model's deep hazel eyes are the only color we get here, besides white and paler white. The title of this shoot perplexes me. Why is it pathetic to be a [white bride](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-atelier-collection)? Is it even more pathetic to be a [white groom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-shop-campaign)? Diego Diaz has left me with so many questions! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Monochrome Photography:** There is a trend towards monochrome photography in fashion shoots which can be utilized by photographers in other industries, such as food and product photography. - **Exploration of Non-traditional Beauty Standards:** There is a trend towards exploring non-traditional beauty standards, which could present an opportunity for fashion brands to expand their customer base by including a diverse range of models in their advertising and marketing campaigns. - **Challenging Traditional Wedding Stereotypes:** There is a trend towards challenging traditional wedding stereotypes, which could present an opportunity for the wedding industry to introduce more diverse wedding themes and styles that cater to couples who do not identify with traditional wedding aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Monochrome photography in fashion shoots can inspire photographers in other industries, such as food and product photography, to experiment with new techniques to produce visually stunning images. - **Fashion:** The exploration of non-traditional beauty standards presents an opportunity for fashion brands to expand their customer base by embracing diversity and inclusivity in their advertising and marketing campaigns. - **Wedding Industry:** The trend towards challenging traditional wedding stereotypes presents an opportunity for the wedding industry to cater to a wider audience by introducing more diverse wedding themes and styles that resonate with modern-day couples. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Powerful Modern Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright.md) - [Bridal Nail Polish Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-nail-collection.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Non-Traditional Wedding Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssense-bridal-20.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [White-Tonal Bridal Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g-1.md) - [Next-Day Wedding Photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-photos.md) - [White-Tonal Paint Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitescale.md)
