What is the Anti-Bride Movement?
Anti-Bride is a movement that has taken the wedding industry by storm, and with good reason. This trend could very well become the new “normal,” and we are excited about the future of weddings. Modern couples are embracing this trend and renouncing traditional expectations. Every detail is customized, from their marriage size and fashion choices to reflect their unique personalities. Tradition has been left behind.
How to Incorporate the anti-bride trend into your wedding
Everyone will have a different idea of what an anti-bride wedding looks like. You could opt for an elopement in a distant location instead of a big local party. Maybe you will ditch the traditional wedding trends you don’t like. Perhaps it’ll include rocking a colorful suit or wedding dress.
Anti-Bride is about showing your true colors and doing things the way you want. While the options are limitless, let’s look at a few of the most popular ways to host an anti-bride wedding.
Wedding Size
Couples can choose the size of their wedding according to what they feel is right. No longer are you obligated by tradition to invite every single person in your family. You can now limit your guest list to only those who you cannot imagine your wedding without. You could choose a small wedding for a couple or an elopement. It’s your wedding, so you can decide how big or small it is.
Wedding Venue
Finding a venue for a wedding is more fun when you’re not thinking of yourself as a bride. It’s up to you to choose the space where you say ‘I do’ rather than being forced to. What’s the best part? The best part? You don’t have to stay in the traditional venue if you do not want to. You can be more creative and transform unconventional spaces into beautiful wedding venues. You can choose from local bars, restaurants, or arcades.
Wedding Dress

There are many options available for the anti-bride style. Online boutiques and designers offer a wide range of styles. Think of short wedding dresses, pantsuits, colorful tuxes, etc.
