If you’re getting married in 2023 without a doubt, you have already been busy researching and mood-boarding the dress. One of the most exciting aspects of planning for the big day is pouring over the many outfits you could stun your guests (and delighted partner) in. For this very same reason, it’s also one of the more potentially daunting aspects. With the myriad of amazing options on offer, it can be tricky to avoid a decision overwhelm. Luckily for you 2023 brides, the options are better than ever. Especially if you prefer to turn to your favourite designers, rather than trying to ascertain which bridal brand is your bride vibe.
