You may be engaged but your search for your dream dress is only just beginning. Finding that one exquisite gown, that fits you like a glove and quite literally takes your grooms breath away, is a magnificent moment.
Winter Wedding Inspiration
With over ten years of experience behind us, here at The Bride, we know what it takes to unite every stylish bride-to-be with her perfect match. Here’s our first guest blog for Presents, we hope it’s one of many before herself walks down the aisle (28th May 2024, note for your diaries!)
We believe there is something magical about the colder months of the year, and these three winter bridal trends will help you embrace the romance of it all.
Sparkle in a Jenny Packham masterpiece
Sparkle this winter in a gown encrusted with Swarovski crystals. Jenny Packham’s 2023 bridal collection is the ultimate in luxury and decadence.
One of our favourite designs is Bardot. You will exude opulence as you come glittering down the aisle in this spectacular gown.
Jenny Packham is globally recognized as one of Britain’s most successful fashion designers. Red carpets the world over are graced with Jenny’s designs worn by the most iconic women of our generation, such as the Duchess of Cambridge Angelina Jolie and Kate Winslet.
Jenny’s latest collection is a beautiful choice for the elegant bride-to-be, reminiscent of Jane Austen heroines and mythical Grecian princesses. And we hear that herself is a fan.. could this be the one?
Suzanne Neville – master of the fitted sleeve
Don’t let the cold get to you. Embody Grace Kelly with a stunning lace sleeve. This heavenly design feature will create an elegant and graceful silhouette.
We particularly adore the Grosvenor by Suzanne Neville.
Suzanne is proud to be entirely British made, with all design and production undertaken in her London studios. Renowned for beautifully constructed wedding gowns with signature-structured bodices, her collections are incredibly diverse.
For Grosvenor, Suzanne has added an extra touch of opulence to the timeless sleeve look by decorating the intricate lace with a row of satin-covered buttons.
The delicate sleeves are contrasted by the dramatic layered skirt, a striking design that is impossible not to fall in love with.
Sassi Holford’s soft and feminine illusion neckline
Another winter trend we love this year is the illusion neckline. A soft, barely-there look decorated with delicate detailing. Sassi Holford’s Marianne gown is a stunning example.
Sassi is an internationally celebrated British bridal design talent. She is famous for her ability to enhance the female shape whilst emphasising each bride’s individual personality so that she may truly shine and feel her most beautiful.
Sassi’s Marianne is a sensational ballgown featuring a knotted tulle overlay with a ruched duchess satin sash and diamante bow motif. The fluidity and lightness of the dress gives it an aura of true romance.
