8 Unexpected Bridal Trends Worth Getting Your Head Around

Figuring out the perfect wedding formula is basically impossible, so taking tips whenever you can is important. Cue: shopping platform Lyst. Rounding up exactly what brides are searching for in the lead up to their big day, Lyst has released its 2019 Wedding Report, detailing every up and coming bridal trend to know this year. As always, it’s a bit more fashion focused than say, Pinterest, and gives insight into the next big things. This year, it’s all about suiting up, breaking gender norms and baroque pearls. Read on for eight of the most unexpected trends to take out of the report — because no one wants to be a traditional bride, right?

Vintage wedding dresses

Brides are thinking sustainable and searching for vintage wedding dresses. Up 93 per cent, searches for vintage and second hand dresses have seen huge increases, no doubt due to brides wanting that extra unique element to their big day.

Hair bands

They were seen all over the street style set in February, but now it seems hair bands are making their way into bridalwear, with searches up 94 per cent.
