One of the most challenging and essential parts of planning a wedding for brides is choosing the right wedding dress. Because of the pandemic, bridal dress trends just got much more minimalistic. If you’re planning a zoom wedding and trying to find an elegant wedding dress that will help you stand out, I’ve listed six gorgeous styles that will make you feel even more confident and on-trend.
1. Short And Stylish
Short is the way to go in 2021. If you’re planning a virtual wedding, the chances are your guests will only see you from the waist up during most of the ceremony. That’s why you can feel free to flaunt a short or midi bridal dress with fabulous sleeves or a dramatic neck opening.
What’s even better, if you find a long dress wedding dress that you love but prefer it to be shorter, you can easily transform it. Just turn to a good wedding gown alterations shop, and the final result will be show-stopping.

2. Whimsical Sequins
Do you have that gorgeous sequined dress that you’ve always wanted to wear but never had the chance? Now that you don’t have to splurge a fortune for a gown and an expensive wedding, you can look stunning in a dress you already own. It’s that design that always made you feel fabulous, and it transforms you into a sparkly queen. If you have a dress in mind, all you need is a good professional seamstress that will do all the alterations that you want for the big day.
If not, there are so many show-stopping sequined gowns that you can opt for. Look for the ones with a halter neck opening, boat neck, or thick straps to stand out even more.

3. Romantic Lace
Lace is a timeless fabric that is flattering, rich, glamorous, and as fabulous as it gets. No matter if long or short, a simple lace wedding dress will bring so much elegance into your final look. This is a material that really stands out, and that’s something you want if you’re hosting a zoom wedding. Virtual weddings can’t quite convey the beauty of fabrics, but when it comes to this one, everyone will be amazed even through their screens.
If you’re a cool bride, feel free to escape the traditional pattern of white and cream. Instead, opt for a more colorful version that includes vibrant floral lace, pastel shades, or embroidery.

4. Tulle All The Way
2021 might take away big gatherings from you, but it shouldn’t take away the glamour of your wedding day. What better way to have all eyes on you than with a vibrant tulle bridal gown? Think of a strapless sweetheart top and a large but elegant bottom part of the dress. Although you might not need to style your wedding as you would have before the pandemic, having a dress that you’ve always dreamed of is still something you can pull off for a zoom event.

5. The Sophisticated Slip Dress
Nothing beats a gorgeous, simple slip dress with an intricate waterfall neckline and thin straps. When you complement it with the right shoes and jewelry, it will be a look no one will forget. This is a trend so many famous designers love, and it will be one of the most popular designs for this year.
Long slip dresses with a side slit in white or nude shades are perfect for this event. Another way to go is to pick a style with a long train, thick straps, and a square neck opening.

6. Fabulous Jumpsuit
If your main priority for the zoom wedding is comfort, then a fabulous jumpsuit is the way to go. There are so many elegant and eye-catching designs that you’ll want to wear over and over again. The color doesn’t have to be white! It can be done in any shade and print that you love. A look that so many brides are obsessed with is a jumpsuit with wide legs and a long, beautiful cape.

Now that you don’t have to spend days choosing a wedding venue, you can spend days looking for the perfect bridal dress. There is no right or wrong way to pull off zoom weddings. However, the latest fashion trends show an increase of elegant but minimalist styles that are comfortable, flattering, and fabulous at the same time.
