Inspired by Resilience: Our Favorites from BHLDN's Spring 2021 Wedding Gown Collection

While 2020 has devastatingly altered the wedding world as we know it, we are still full of optimism and hope that it's only temporary. We can't ignore the fact that all couples have had to shift their original plans and still continue to do so for whatever 2021 brings us. When our friends at BHLDN sent over their upcoming Spring 2021 bridal collection, we couldn't help get a little emotional that they have designed this new set of wedding gowns with the COVID-affected bride in mind. From uncertainty and disappointment, resilience rises, and we are reminded that love is never canceled. And that's what matters. Versatility, affordable price points, and emotive details are all behind the inspiration of this breathtaking collection, and we had to share our favorites to help inspire you for whatever your wedding day looks like in the days to come!
