From mini dresses accessorized with show-stopping cape sleeves to jumpsuits featuring sexy-but-safe cut-outs, this modern bridal editorial will inspire any bride-to-be hoping to pull off a modern bridal dress for their wedding day. Wild Heart Events teamed up with Reev Bridal and Eden Strader Photography to showcase a variety of unconventional fits and styles that are perfect for trend-setting brides. Jaime Kostechko (of Wild Heart Events) says with the wedding boom on the rise, due to couples who postponed in 2020, “we wanted to create a nod to the modern bridal fashion that dominated the virtual runways of social media.”
Along with the must-see modern wedding-day looks, this shoot also included fashion-forward details. Primary color blocking, unique headpieces paired with statement-making bridal makeup, bright and bold florals and must-have glassware are also seen throughout this stylish visual concept. Check out the posh shoot below to see what we mean!
