When the ball dropped on January 1, 2020, I think everyone was super excited. Not only was it the start of a new year, it was the start of a new millennium. But now that we’re more than three months into it, 2020 is just not looking lucky - especially for the brides and grooms who were planning on saying ‘I Do’ this year. COVID-19 has us all wishing it was 2019 again… or, better yet, looking forward to 2021. Despite the rocky times, some key players in the wedding retail universe, like Anthropologie’s sister brand, BHLDN, are staying the course and continuing to provide expert advice and serious style for the aisle. The brand understands that these unprecedented times have led to shifted wedding plans and delayed orders, and, as such, they have compiled a list of ready-to-ship styles curated for the bride, her maids, MOH, and more. Help is on the way!
BHLDN’s talented online stylists are at the ready, so you can still get dress and accessories suggestions and support for yourself, your bridesmaids, and your mama during store closures and/or shipping delays that would otherwise leave you without your something stunning for the big day.
Whether you’re eloping, postponing, or scaling back to a more intimate union, you and your bridal party are evermore deserving of special looks that you’ll cherish for years and years to come. So, however your celebration shapes up, be it big or small, you can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief knowing that BHLDN has your back. ((Beautifully, if we might add, too… these get-there-fast dresses are breathtaking, P.S. you might want to take some notes from BHLDN’s stylist, Cassandra, she can put together perfect ensemble combinations like it ain’t no thing)).
Along with a few next-level wardrobe opts for your wedding officiant or witness.
