From the Runway to the Aisle: How Pants are Redefining Bridal Attire

As wedding videographers in the San Francisco Bay Area, we've seen a lot of wedding trends come and go. But one trend that we're particularly excited about is the emerging trend of integrating pants into a bride's reception attire. We love this trend because it's bold, modern, and empowering for brides. The photos in this post are from a 2022 bride at Stanly Ranch in Napa.

In the past, bridal attire has been dominated by dresses. While dresses are certainly beautiful and elegant, they're not always practical. Brides who wear dresses often have to worry about tripping over their hem, getting their dress dirty, or simply feeling uncomfortable. That's where the pant-wearing bride comes in.

Pantsuits and jumpsuits have become increasingly popular among brides in recent years, and for good reason. They're comfortable, practical, and stylish all at once. And while some brides may worry that wearing pants on their wedding day is too unconventional, we think it's a perfect way to make a statement and stand out.

As videographers, we love filming brides who wear pants because it adds an extra layer of personality and uniqueness to their wedding day. Seeing a bride confidently rock a pantsuit or jumpsuit is truly inspiring, and it makes for some incredible footage.

Plus, there are so many different ways to integrate pants into a bride's reception attire. Some brides opt for a classic white pantsuit, while others choose a colorful jumpsuit or even a sequined two-piece. The possibilities are truly endless, and it's exciting to see each bride's unique take on this trend.

For inspiration, check out the video below, which features one of our recent brides from the San Francisco Asian Art Museum. The bride, Kai, started the day in a custom blush dress and transitioned during the ceremony into an all-white paint suit that was completely fabulous.
