Now the beautiful bride can shop online for her dream dress we have been looking at the styles and choices made by the current Miss for the future Mrs. The fairy tale style dress has been trumped over the recent months by a more understated look such as separates, a jump suit or a slip dress, all proving popular and then being accessorised with a veil, jewellery or flowers in the hair.
For some couples, the Registry Office and other venues have replaced the traditional religious venue and brides may decide to purchase a more modern outfit rather than the traditional fairy tale dress.
For low-key weddings, slip dresses are a popular style as they are flattering on a lot of body types, exuding elegance. The slip dress is often available in a selection of colours to adapt to the wedding setting. It is important to remember that the wedding dress must make the bride-to-be feel special, this is her day and despite the push away from tradition, feeling stylish and beautiful is a right on her wedding day and a change in design does not mean a compromise in quality.
The midi length wrap dress still remains a firm favourite, under stated, yet flattering on most body shapes. This style of dress has the option of short, three quarter or long sleeves and again, the bride-to-be will look exquisite in this very popular wrap style.
The longer length dress is still favoured by some but again, we are seeing a more classical and elegant long dress with added detail such as a jewelled neckline or puff sleeves and then accessorised by a shorter veil and a court style shoe.
Dress designers have begun to evaluate the importance of fashion and it will be interesting to see how this affects the bridal choices of tomorrow.
Quality does not appear to have been compromised with brides-to-be recognising that their wedding dress and wedding rings are the two price points that are an investment for the future. Many brides will keep their dress to hand down to future generations or for a keep sake of their special day and why not! And the rings, well they will be worn every day from the date of the wedding.
We have seen accessories being utilised more in recent years to complete the bespoke individuality of the beautiful bride. Flowers in the hair are favoured to demonstrate a care-free and relaxed feel in some ceremonies, whilst for others, the flowers in the hair are designed to match the bridal bouquet. Jewellery is highlighting the specific colour combinations within her outfit, a necklace and bracelet often matching the bridal shoes or the groom’s tie or bow-tie, subtle but extremely classy.
The one commitment that will not change during these uncertain times is the love and devotion of two very special people, madly in love and committed to spending the rest of their lives together.
