How will bridal style evolve post-pandemic?

Experts agree that brides-to-be are going bigger and bolder with their wedding looks this season.

"I believe that post-pandemic we will see a maximalist trend really take over the bridal space," Rubinetti said. "For many months we lived in a 'minimalist' environment where events were scaled down and brides had to adjust their style to coincide with more casual venues, smaller guest lists and more intimate settings."

I believe that post-pandemic we will see a maximalist trend really take over the bridal space, said Rubinetti.

"Going forward, I think we will see more grand events where highly styled, over-the-top bridal looks will grace the aisle once again," she said. "With that, I anticipate a surge of full ballgown silhouettes, a lot of embellishment and special, unique, couture fashion details that will take styling to a new level."
