The Knot Spring 2021 issue focuses on planning with purpose so you and your partner can celebrate with nuptials that align with your values. The cover story features wedding dress designer Andrea Pitter, owner of Pantora Bridal. In an exclusive interview with The Knot, she shares how she noticed a lack of wedding gowns and stores created with Black women in mind—so she created her own. The designer and salon owner shares her journey from one custom dress to a bridal empire, why representation matters, and how the wedding industry can do better.
The issue also covers other topics, like how to celebrate safely amid the pandemic without sacrificing style. Check out our roundup of this season's hottest wedding dress trends—from slip dresses to ruffles and puff sleeves— and get need-to-know tips for DIYing your makeup (a must with all the Zoom planning meetings you're scheduling). Additionally, we debunk six menswear myths and let grooms know which style myths they're totally allowed to break. This season's issue is also completely shoppable, which means every single item (clothing, accessories, beauty products and more) is all one click away. As you peruse the magazine via Issuu, simply click on the products that catch your eye and you'll be directed to a link to shop the items—it's as simple as that!
As the pandemic continues, The Knot is here every step of the way to help you plan your wedding, your way. Even in a pandemic, love is not cancelled. We're here to help you live your truth, in and through your nuptials. Take a look at some of our favorite stories in this season's magazine, below.
Planning with Purpose
As conscious consumerism becomes mainstream, more and more couples are approaching their weddings (and all the choices that come with it!) with intention, whether that's to show support, tell a story or make a statement. We share the stories of statement-making real couples who brought their values into their nuptials—from a vegan wedding with reusable decor and cruelty-free beauty products to a duo who planned a food drive when the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to postpone their wedding. Plus, industry insiders share advice and insights on everything from making your vendor team more inclusive to need-to-know information about sustainable jewelry. As you begin to plan your wedding, we encourage you to take these tips to heart to create a celebration that reflects your values.
21 Things We're Loving Right Now
A new year means new "I dos." To kick off the year, we're taking a look at 21 trends that are having a moment in weddings. As couples have reimagined their weddings as a result of the pandemic, trends towards weekday weddings, virtual guests and nanomoons have taken off. Bold color palettes, coordinated guest attire, Grandmillennial vibes and an air of nostalgia are also on the rise. We layer in plenty of tips to help you bring these of-the-moment ideas into your own wedding.
Larger Than Life
If you think the days of statement gowns are over, think again. This year's most coveted wedding dresses are all about daring details, standout silhouettes and making the most of your fashion moment. Instagram phenom Kihmberlie models the maximalist dresses we're double tapping.
Abroad at Home
Even while safety-guidelines mandate limited travel, there are pockets of the US that showcase strong international influences. The distinctive tastes and experiences of these six domestic honeymoon escapes will make you feel miles from home, even if you can't travel to the far-flung locales they resemble.
Real Weddings
If you're searching for more inspiration, consider looking to other couples. In each issue, we select five real couples who make their wedding completely their own. In our Spring 2021 issue, we have everything from an equine-themed wedding with model horse escort cards and a glam pink-and-teal pandemic minimony to a sophisticated black-tie celebration with the dining chairs of your dreams, a Hawaiian destination wedding with acai bowls and rattan chandeliers and a jewel-tone event with a cigar and bourbon bar.
