Yesterday’s post had you dreaming about the best wedding decor ideas from 2020, but what about the thing most brides dream about from day one? It’s time for the best wedding dresses of the year! Couples that wed in 2020 showed us that there are no rules anymore. We’ve seen more micro weddings, backyard soirees and more elopements than ever before, and the collective idea of what a wedding dress “should be” has gone right out the window. We’ll be honest- we absolutely LOVE it!!
In fact, we’re hoping these wedding dress trends will stay with us into 2021. So what were the most talked about bridal looks of 2020? Sleek mini dresses and minimal silhouettes were complemented by mountains of colorful tulle, unexpected patterns and an all around sense of fun. Brides threw caution to the wind and chose dresses that stood out and made a statement- a statement of “I’m here, I’m getting married, and nothing can stop me!”
So, without further ado, here are our favorite wedding dresses we saw in 2020:
