Bridalwear
bridalwear from dresses to jumpsuits to tops, skirts, pants and separates
With cloudless blue sunny skies today feels perfect for sharing this Indian summer wedding inspiration with you. With bridal wear by English Wedding member Felicity Westmacott, gorgeous photography by Fleur Challis and vibrant florals from lovely Mimi Fleur, it’s a breathtaking blast of wedding loveliness I just know you’ll adore! It’s a wonderful thing to be able to showcase Felicity’s bespoke bridal designs with you: not only is her work beautiful, choosing bespoke for your wedding dress or outfit will bring you so much choice in what you wear for your big day, from fabrics to style and silhouette to the tiniest little details.
Hearts like Wildflowers
I hope you are blessed with a heart like a wildflower.
Strong enough to rise again
after being trampled upon,
tough enough to weather
the worst of the summer storms,
and able to grow and flourish
even in the most broken places.
By Nikita Gill
This poem by Nikita Gill inspired Jessica’s bridal collection, incorporating floral laces, and floaty fabrics, just like Wildflowers. It also implies the destruction of mankind on nature by ‘being trampled upon’. Jessica believes that we all must play a part to be more sustainable.
Good morning lovelies! Today we’re looking at a breathtaking bridal collection by Amsterdam-based designer Karin Rom. The Florentine collection taps into our need for escapism during the pandemic. While the Netherlands was in lockdown, Karin Rom was inspired by fairy stories of princesses locked away in castles; tales of hidden gardens and grand ballrooms and romantic dreams from days gone by. “It’s funny how so many of our ideas about romance were shaped by times when ‘social distancing’ between a woman and her suitor was the only option until marriage. Social distancing used to be romantic!” she laughs.
Since forever, we’ve been in LOVE with alternative bridal style. If wearing a big white dress isn’t for you, there are plenty of alternatives: our fave right now is the bridal jumpsuit. I’m thrilled to be sharing Lola Tara‘s collection of bridal jumpsuits with you today: in ivory silk, they’re exquisitely beautiful and more than perfect for the chic modern bride.
Forgive me, lovelies, for having no words to share with you this morning. For every bride and groom left in limbo by this weekend’s announcement, and for every supplier in our beautiful industry – I am so, so very sorry. While I’m lost for words, I’d like to remind everyone about the #whataboutweddings movement. If you haven’t already seen it (and I know 58,000 of you already have) – their A Million Moments video is a heartwrenching watch. You can find it here.
