By: Rachel CapoEach season, we await our favorite designers' wedding gown collections with baited breath. This year is no different, except that we are attending virtual fashion events instead of in person. The debut of the Spring 2021 gowns at Chicago Bridal Fashion Week blew us away. Check out a few of our favorite trends below, and you'll see why.
Versatile Detachable Sleeves

This stunning ball gown features a French lace bodice, a dupioni silk skirt, and gorgeous detachable three-quarter sleeves.
Exposed boning, soft tulle, and off-the-shoulder detachable tulle sleeves, make us wish it was August all year long.
This gorgeous lace mermaid gown gets a serious upgrade with detachable off-the-shoulder cape sleeves. Trust us, this accessory will make for magical photos.
Daring Cutouts
Whether completely open or covered with illusion lace, cutouts make a great statement. From sexy side cutouts to keyhole necklines, and even open-back cutouts, this eye-catching detail gets the party started.
