Bridesmaid dress and wedding dress trends are ever-changing. But there’s no question that the bow is having a major moment.
Bows are undeniably feminine. And women everywhere are embracing their femininity and expressing it through fashion choices.
We can’t help but wonder:
Did the Barbie movie have a longer-lasting effect on us than we imagined it would?
Bows add a sense of whimsy, romance, and girly charm to everything. And they’re trending across the board as accents on dresses, jewelry, hair accessories, footwear, and handbags. Small and delicate, big and bold — there’s no right or wrong way to embrace the bow trend.
