With weddings still being postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions, we’ve seen many couples get creative with their nuptials by opting for virtual or at-home ceremonies. Zoom and other online platforms are on the rise for couples marrying during the pandemic thanks to marriage licenses being available remotely. These virtual weddings are especially popular for couples who still want to honor their original wedding date and exchange vows, but have pushed back their bigger celebration to either later this year or next. Our tip: Get double the use out of your purchase by saving your less formal, at-home or elopement look to re-wear at your rehearsal dinner, post-wedding brunch, or as an outfit change to dance the night away at your reception later. If you’re among those changing plans for their big day but getting married now, here are some of our favorite at-home wedding dresses that are perfect for a Zoom ceremony with your nearest and dearest.
