Brides are embracing feminine, romantic silhouettes and embellishments this year, says Anna Castaldi, owner of Birmingham bridal atelier Roma Sposa. “Lace is still very popular,” she says, but with a touch of personalization like bows or macrame accents. A-line dresses paired with strapless corsets, another nod to the Romantic Era, are also having a moment.

“The idea is to put focus on the waistline,” says Raeshawn Bumphers, owner of Detroit’s Pink Poodle Dress Lounge.

Other trends include gown embellishments like pearls and crystals — “brides now always want more bling,” says Bumphers — and experimenting with color. Castaldi says brides are choosing gowns that are pale blue or blush pink, and asking their bridesmaids to wear multi-colored or patterned dresses.

It’s not all about the official wedding gown in 2022 — lots of brides are choosing a traditional dress for the ceremony and opting for a more dance-friendly, shorter dress (or even a jumpsuit) for the reception. “The bride is more practical now after Covid,” says Castaldi. “She wants to really enjoy her party and be comfortable when mingling with guests and dancing.”

Slim-fit tuxedos are still in style, but men are moving away from the classic black, says Ray Hines, a clothier and fashion consultant at Cicchini Custom Clothier in Birmingham. “With the pandemic, men are ready to have fun,” he says, and they’re bringing playfulness into their wedding-day wardrobe with color.

Hines is seeing many grooms choose blue, green or burgundy-colored jackets — or even patterned jackets with a black lapel — which they pair with black pants and a black bowtie. Another modern twist: Many guys are going sock less with velvet slippers, Hines says.
