As couples wed in smaller ceremonies, it’s thought that many brides will opt for short dresses.

This trend won’t be for everyone but we love the idea of a more informal dress to match a more intimate occasion – plus it’s perfect if your personal style is more edgy than princess-y.

Again, we’re putting this down to weddings being more low key in 2021.

We’ve seen celebrities from Amal Clooney and Millie Mackintosh embrace this trend and reckon it’s a great choice if dresses aren’t your thing.

There’s a reason Princess Diana’s wedding dress was so iconic – a puff sleeve is the ultimate statement-maker.

This is a super romantic look; perfect for girlie-girl brides.
