A year of no gatherings, and therefore, no weddings got us thinking: What would our celebrations look like when they return? Now that things are opening up again, we have our answer. It seems they're joyful—and infinitely more personalized. Guest experience is paramount, rules are being broken, and getting dressed for the aisle is that much more fun and free of expectations. Ahead, we've assembled the BAZAAR Bride take on this year and next year's weddings—from the best planning advice to must-have fashion, registry, beauty, and more. We hope you feel inspired to plan a safe, chic, happy, thoughtful event that you'll never forget. Welcome to the issue.
