Unbridled – The Best New Season Looks for Fashion Brides

LET’S GET WHIMSICAL

Getting married as we know, is not all about the wedding, and of course a wedding is not all about the outfit. But let’s face it, it is a little bit (or even a lot) about the outfit. There is no shame in channelling most of your wedding attention into your dream look, whether your vibe is all-out fabulous or super low-key. These days if you are not into the idea of a traditional bridal store experience (the Prosecco though…), the options are still endless. Maybe you are hunting down a vintage dream (may the vintage goddesses be with you), hitting the high street for more affordable options, or looking to rent something special. You also need not look far from your favourite online stores, with many of your go to brands offering up big day ready looks. You can still crack open the bubbly (not too close to the purchases), but enjoy taking it all in at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home. From hot off the catwalk pieces to more contemporary looks, be prepared to drool over the most dreamy of offerings from Net-A-Porter, MyTheresa and Matches. Even if some of these options are not quite in your budget, they are sure to get your creative visions flying for your own look. Stay tuned for a more budget friendly edit soon, in the meantime make a cup of tea and enjoy this rather extensive list.
