Bridalwear
bridalwear from dresses to jumpsuits to tops, skirts, pants and separates
For those of you who love sparkle and glamour but aren’t keen on a mass produced “Maggie” for your wedding dress, perhaps we can tempt you to discover a designer you will only find in a handful of the UK’s loveliest boutiques?
Anna Campbell creates breathtakingly beautiful dresses that enhance the natural beauty of her bohemian, romantic and free-spirited brides. Featuring decadent, sparkling embellishments, intricately hand-beaded laces, soft pretty tulles and floating silk organza, every sparkling Anna Campbell gown is handmade with love in her Melbourne studio.

Something on top bridal designer Suzanne Neville‘s website caught my eye the other day – a little comment from lovely Suzanne herself that social media has inspired brides to be more adventurous. I love this! Browsing Instagram and Pinterest for unique wedding inspo – from designers all over the world – has changed us and is even inspiring those designers to create dresses which are more show-stopping than ever before!
Dreamy, swirling Italian tulle skirts and heavenly lace appliqué in the prettiest contemporary shades set Naomi Neoh‘s 2018 wedding dress collection aside in a world of its very own.
I adore the name: Celestial means ‘of the heavens’ – and this truly is an exquisite collection inspired by the natural beauty of the universe. The softest dusky mauve, silver blues, blush and pinks evoke that wonderful inbetween time as dusk falls; and delicate beading hints at distant constellations twinkling under early moonlight.
I’ve fallen hard for the Venus gown, for its gentle colouring and tumbling, cloudlike skirts.
Thank you again to Claire for having me on the English Wedding Blog. For those of you not following this monthly piece, I’m Jenna (Weddings by Jenna Hewitt) and I plan and style weddings for couples looking for a laid back luxury feel across the UK. This time I’m talking the dress! How exciting! In fact surely this is the most fun part? The dress shopping is at least billed as fun, a lovely experience, but are you feeling a little overwhelmed at the prospect? Are you feeling the pressure to find something perfect? Back in July I had the pleasure of dress shopping with my lovely bride-to-be, Hannah and I thought I’d share a little bit about the experience and some advice on where on earth to start when searching for that dress!
Sleek, clean lines and beautiful fabrics are where Otaduy really comes into its own. I just adore this label – and I know so many of you 2018 brides will fall in love with the wonderfully minimal styling of Otaduy gowns.

I love the way these dresses combine the simplest of lines with a touch of sass and modern, geometric patterns in the side panels and sleeves. They’re exquisite – truly different from any other dresses I see. The lingerie… just so, so beautifully feminine and delicate. Otaduy, you’ve won our hearts!
