If there is something that has changed since the covid pandemic, it is definitely weddings. At least in Europe, restrictions in venues have left no choice but to reduce the number of guests. Therefore, in many cases, new weddings are now more intimate and most times outdoors.
Although the desire to celebrate is still intact, this new normal reality has forced brides to update celebrations alternatives. As everyone might expect, this new reality affects bridal fashion as well. And so, as always happens, a new trend appears!
This time brands such as Zara, H&M among others are giving the solution. Many casual brands have seen this opportunity, therefore this brands are now offering options from €50 to €150 to dress these new brides.
Eco friendly option! Most designs can continue to be used after the wedding because right now, the idea of buying a dress to wear only once, is becoming completely obsolete.
Casual brands, bridal options!
Among the options available today, we can find the Bridal collection that Zara has on its website, which has simple and elegant designs in satins and lace.
Springfield has this beautiful option in Bambula with macramé details and embroidery for beach weddings.

As a fashion designer who has worked for 15 years with brides, I think that this new trend was totally necessary. I believe that having a new alternative for tighter budgets was important, but at the same time, this is actually a real answer to the new sustainability criteria.
