It's no secret that two-piece wedding dresses took their time to win us over - as many brides would never want their mid-drift showing on their big day. However, as budgets shrunk and relaxed affairs began topping the wedding trends due to the coronavirus pandemic, two-piece wedding dresses offered brides the chance to create a unique wedding look without breaking the bank.
By mix and matching their tops to skirts - or even trousers - usually at the cheaper cost of buying a full gown, brides can find their perfect style for whatever type of day they are hosting; from an intimate ceremony with a lace sleeve top and midi skirt, or a full boho themed garden party with tassles and a high split skirt.
With the likes of Dakota Johnson and Rihanna showcasing two-piece white dresses on the red carpet, the trend has translated from couture collections to bridal designs - with Jesus Peiro, Claire Pettibone and Charlie Brear to name a few including separates in their 2021 collections.
