“Exaggerated bows—the bigger, the better. Alexia Maria started this trend in the bridal world with her signature bow dresses. We saw Emilia Wickstead and Carolina Herrera iterations this past year that were very popular with brides. The trend is continuing into 2022 with Reem Acra’s embellished bow details along with elevated, modern options from Prabal Gurung and classic and feminine options from Markarian.” –Anny Choi, Head Stylist at Over

“I’m very into pleating as a new form of texture. The rigid box pleating, large shapes, and volume that the royal weddings set the trend for has given way to diaphanous goddess-y Grecian pleating—like Danielle Frankel’s Camille. It’s one of my favorite wedding dresses that she’s ever made, and it works for a great range of body types.” -Carrie L. Goldberg

“The mixing of prints has taken a new twist,” Goldberg adds. “It’s a little bit less sparkly and a little bit less bohemian, and the new options have a little bit more polish. One person is in a texture, whereas another person is in a velvet, another person is in a floral, and one person is in a print that ties that all together.” -Carrie L. Goldberg

“More thoughtful accessorizing in terms of layering because there have been so many theme events that we’ve seen come into play. Ivy Getty’s mod party is a great example, but I’ve also had many clients have Western hoedowns that involve infinitely more accessories.” -Carrie L. Goldberg
