Not every bride has the luxury of time; but every bride deserves the luxury of fresh designer wedding looks. Brides getting married in 2021 or 2022, say goodbye to waiting nine months for your wedding dress.
Bridal pantsuits are replacing the white wedding dress, and they’re also tossing traditional wedding timelines out the door. Pantsuits are finding themselves in ready-to-wear collections, civil ceremony collections, and just about anywhere that designers are making waves for the spontaneous modern bride.

Annika Maria
We present to you a pantsuit, but make it short. It’s structured but drapey; it’s bold but beautifully charming. The ebb and flow of design allows for a draped jacket with the feeling of a blouse. The shorts are tailored in the waist, complete with pleats and pockets, and flow to match the overall light-as-air quality of this look.
