Summertime means a few things: Outdoor happy hour, so much sunscreen, and wedding season. While some bridal fashion trends from last year have come and gone, some are here to stay.
According to Who What Wear's associate director of special projects, Kristen Nichols, "last year, some of the biggest trends we saw were a lot of drop waists this return to timeless elegance and also the resurrection of a lot of archival looks, as brides wanted to source these unique, rare vintage pieces."
While this return to elegance has continued into the current season, Nichols is also seeing some newness, specifically around silhouettes. "I think one of the things that made the biggest impact during bridal fashion week, specifically, were these very grand gowns with voluminous skirts," Nichols said.
For the latest episode of The Who What Wear Podcast, Nichols and Who What Wear's senior editor, Anna LaPlaca, discuss the latest bridal trends—and which trends are on the way out. Check out the full Wedding Issue here.

Anna LaPlaca: Remind me what we're seeing in terms of bridal fashion trends this time last year, and then I'm curious if those trends have endured or if they've evolved or maybe even disappeared?
