So what exactly is not on trend for weddings? According to wedding stylist Anny Choi, who spoke to Who What Wear about the trends out and about, it turns out a lot of things are less flattering than you might think. Perhaps surprisingly, Choi shared that many brides are breaking away from the bridesmaid dress tradition and opting for a similar color scheme. Because everyone has a different body type, Choi said bridesmaids feel better when they are able to distinguish the silhouette and style of their dress. She also found that most brides now choose more general themes when it comes to bridesmaids, such as “shades of blue” or “spring flowers”. In this way, everyone’s individuality can shine through.
Another trend that hasn’t made it into 2023 involves wedding shoes – more specifically, brides wearing high stilettos on their wedding day. As Choi says, that doesn’t mean you have to give up heels entirely. It just means that more brides are opting for platforms or other comfortable variations of a heel so they can enjoy their wedding day to the fullest. Vogue adds that white is definitely on the way out too, with muted shades becoming less popular in favor of bolder choices. Some wedding experts also expressed that couples planning a wedding want a bright and colorful affair that reflects the festive aspect.
