The two-piece wedding dress (or two-piece pants-and-top set) is perfect for the bride who's looking to break tradition. After all, isn't two better than one—especially when it comes to your wedding day? Brides-to-be can't seem to get enough of the look, and designers have embraced the trend the past few seasons, sending both sexy and modest renditions down the runways.
From crop tops paired with waist-high skirts and super-cool wedding suits, top and bottom duos (take this David's Bridal Spring 2020 ensemble, for example!) are having a moment in the world of bridal fashion. But these creations are unique beyond just the number of components the outfit requires. It's also about the trends that designers incorporate into the wedding sets, including the use of illusion lace, floral designs, or sequins, and every type of neckline, from low V-necks to a popped high collar.
With all the different elements they contain, it's easy to see why brides who want to be different go with two instead of one-pieces for their wedding. Some of our favorite sets play with the amount of skin that shows between pieces, allowing the bride to customize based on her personality and preference: All she needs to do is layer up—or take it off! From cropped tops to chic overlays to pantsuits, take inspiration from these twice-as-nice wedding-day separates.
