Bridalwear
bridalwear from dresses to jumpsuits to tops, skirts, pants and separates
I was really interested to read a couple of weeks ago that Jenny Packham wouldn’t be launching her bridal collections via catwalk shows. Her decision makes so much sense to me: for years I’ve seen – and mostly rejected – bridal designers’ submissions where all I see is dress after dress photographed under harsh lighting, against a dull background, surrounded by the ankles and handbags of boutique owners and stockists (sat either side of the catwalk, but still in shot). It was all very meh, (even in the days when meh was a new word!).
If you want a wedding with a taste of tropical paradise then look no further than Amy Mair Couture’s 2018 collection La Selva.
Amy Mair is a designer known for taking inspiration from her love of nature and travel. La Selva, meaning tropical forest in Spanish, pays tribute to the discrete, subtle tropical and exotic influences that were the inspiration behind her third bridal collection for the Rachel Burgess Bridal Boutique.
Using colour, texture and cut she creates unique and subtly non-traditional gowns which still retain a luxurious glamour. Each gown prides itself of being something a little different, not to be seen anywhere else in the bridal market.
You won’t see sterile catwalk images of wedding dresses on the English Wedding Blog. I adore seeing bridalwear in a more natural environment; and the imagery from Anna Campbell‘s latest collection sings to my heart. The dresses are unapologetically feminine – with fascinatingly detailed lace and swooping necklines, delicate sleeve detailing and the most wonderful fabrics. These are wedding dresses for the modern girl who wants to feel like a real princess on her big day. They’re enchanting, beautiful – and available from these UK stockists.
Boho wedding styling is massively popular for 2018 and I’m a huge fan of the peacock chair / palm fronds / forehead jewellery look. Throw in an eastern rug and bare toes and you’ve stolen my heart completely. But for those of you who don’t want to go full boho – especially if you have your heart set on a traditional bridal gown – I have something very special to share with you today.
Hello, beautiful. I have something so special to share with you today – wedding gowns with a unique and intricate style you won’t have seen anywhere else. The story behind them is wonderful: designer Reuma Zohar‘s business started with a gallery of antique and vintage wedding dresses – over the years inspiring her very own collections. They’re the most enchanting combination of luxe, antique styling with relaxed silhouettes and exquisite fabrics – their look is as beautifully boho as it is regal and vintage.
