It’s the 21st century and thankful for us, brides are no longer held to traditional standards or even silhouettes. Gone are the days of puffy oversized gowns and tiers of frilly fabric and overly modest shapes. In light of the recent shift in our society due to COVID, we’re seeing a huge move towards the more unconventional ways of tying the knot - from elopements to cyber weddings. We’re altering our perspective on what a “traditional” wedding should be and we’re thrilled to see the rise in popularity of the bridal jumpsuit - the perfect option for the nontraditional, bohemian bride! In this post, we discuss the 5 W’s of bridal jumpsuit etiquette and answer all of your burning questions about whether or not this option is the right fit for you - literally! Read on for inspo, BLUSH Brides:

WHO?
ANYONE! Anyone can wear a jumpsuit. That’s the beauty of this trend, it’s a flattering shape for all body types (it slims and elongates - helloooo legs!) and there’s a style for every bride. From the contemporary chic to the hopeless romantic - there’s a jumpsuit that’s the perfect fit for YOU! For those that have chosen a more modern aesthetic, say, for a classic courthouse elopement we love the sleek sophistication and shape of our Short Sleeved Bridal Jumpsuit. For the more free-spirited bohemian, that’s opted for a more romantic micro-wedding at a local vineyard, for example, we love our Ivory Wedding Lace Jumpsuit.

WHAT?
A jumpsuit is a slim-fitting, one-piece garment that covers both the arms and legs and was created in 1919 as a functional garment for parachuters! The style gained popularity for women in the 1930’s when a designer by the name of Elsa Schiaparelli created a look for elegant socialites; however, the look didn’t peak in popularity until the ‘60s and 70’s thanks in large part to style icons such as Cher. The jumpsuit is for the STRONG and EMPOWERED woman, the woman who doesn’t conform to societal ideals and prefers to walk to the beat of her own drum. Is that YOU, BLUSH Bride!? If so, then the jumpsuit may be just the ensemble you’ve been looking for on your big day and beyond.
WHEN/WHERE?
Engagement parties, engagement photoshoots, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, honeymoons, and even the aisle -- jumpsuits are an appropriate option for every 21st-century bridal occasion! It’s just a matter of personal preference and your comfort level with trying something a little more alternative.

WHY?
Jumpsuits are flattering for many silhouettes and can be styled up or down. There’s a certain effortless elegance to them that is both timeless and fashion-forward.
Are you brave enough to try the bridal jumpsuit for your big day? Or maybe you prefer to take baby-steps and prefer to try this look for your bridal shower or engagement photos? The choice is yours, but we absolutely conquer that this look is here to stay and we couldn’t be happier.
