A general overview of featured trends
In 2021, with the hope of social distancing coming to an end, wedding plans are expected to soar in scale and creativity.
The requirement for originality and inspiring creations primarily featured in the designs and the show didn’t disappoint eager onlookers.
The show provided distinct and differentiating designs, from delicate and flowing silhouettes to bold, simplistic and powerful shapes. We take a look at some of the most popular and eye-catching trends that were featured by numerous designers in more detail below!

Floral embroidery and lace
Stunning embroidery and lace were the ultimate finishing touches to many striking designs. Whether decorating a structured bodice or complementing a flowing trail, floral embroidery and lace were a popular feature to many brands including one of VBBFW’s most prestigious designers, Pronovias.

Show-stealing sleeves
A defining element which featured in many brands, causing a statement, were sleeves. With numerous dresses embodying the off-shoulder trend, others grabbed attention through magnificent full length-sleeves.
Long trailing sleeves, pretty ruffly sleeves and those which were delicate yet voluminous stole the show. Sleeves can really soften a dress if chosen correctly, and a slim silhouette accompanied by large sleeves can offer an air of elegance to an outfit.

Voluminous skirts
Another stunning trend which featured throughout the designs of various brands was a full skirt. Skirts which embody the princess-style look were prominent; a classic ballgown shape with a high waist, accentuates the smallest part of the torso.
A voluminous skirt is a sure head-turner, and it captures attention through its grandeur and grace.

Minimalist designs
In contrast to eccentric ball gowns and lace, the 2021 catwalk collection saw many dresses which flourished in a simple, yet bold design.
These dresses let the material do the talking; simple shapes and cuts with no extra fuss.

Asymmetric arms
An edgy yet elegant way to update a wedding dress is through an asymmetric sleeve design. It is a flattering design for most shapes and transforms the wearer into a graceful goddess. Whether you are after a flowing, Grecian style or an emphatic statement outfit, asymmetric is a design feature for those who want to steal the limelight.

Tiered skirts
Another beautiful style of skirt featured across many designer’s collections was the tiered skirt.
Tiering adds a feeling of volume and movement to a skirt without the abundant amount of material used in the ballgown style. It provides a unique texture and extra flair to the silhouette.

Trousers
Do you feel like a dress doesn’t truly reflect you and your sense of style? Sleek trousers were a highlight of the catwalk. A statement look on your wedding day, trousers are a sophisticated alternative that ooze with style and confidence.
