26 Jun 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.

Net-A-Porter

The item you didn’t think you needed for your big day, but now you are going to really want. This could add a wow moment to a simple streamlined look and is so elegant.

Class and sass combined.

Seriously gorgeous vintage vibes. Pair with a slinky slip underneath or with tonal underwear if you want to turn the victorian vibe on its head.

Pure romance.

So simple and so effective. The subtle cut out adds just the right amount of detail to this slinky number. Stunning whichever way you turn.

I mean if your vibe is go big or go home for your big day, here is the perfect number to ensure all eyes are on you. How fun would this be to wear?

A flowing 70’s dream jumpsuit. Simple but impactful.

For a chic city bride.

I don’t know which is more beautiful on this ethereal gown, the back or the front.

If you want to slip into something simple but sexy, say hello to your gown.

And by the way if simple but sexy is your thing, Michael Lo Sordo might be your go to.

How perfect would this be barefoot on a beach?

If you want to show some skin, this short but sweet dress has serious wow factor. It is a little bit 90’s/00’s and I like it.

Seriously elegant, with a showstopping back

This dress is serving up some old school elegance and Audrey Hepburn vibes.

So chic and modern.

Seriously elevate your outerwear.

Hasn’t this got some Carrie Bradshaw vibes? This one is destined to make it to the vows though.

This beautiful top is refreshingly different paired with elegant trousers.

This dress is brings the kind of drama you want at your wedding.

Seriously cool 60’s vibes. This is a low-key stunner.

This is definitely something for shimmying under the stars at your balmy beach wedding with gold jewellery and a holiday glow.

Be seriously extra and wear a cotton twill voluminous gown with rainbow stitching. Unzip and rewear it later over jeans.

MyTheresa

Bridal, but make it fashion with this Jacquemus number. You will definitely be able to rewear later which is a huge bonus.

How to find the balance between sleek lines and seriously good sleeve drama. It’s the modern way to do a train and if its good enough for Solange.

Hello retro vibes. This is calling out for a little posie bouquet and a hairband, or a Yoko style wide hat.

Speaking of hairbands….

If you want to work the Victorian vibe but also work your figure, this dress allows for both and doesn’t scrimp on detail.

This has such flowing, seventie’s feel, but with the flattering silhouette of a structured waist and shoulders. The overall look has a very cool touch of Bianca jagger to it.

If you are a fan of Khaite’s signature contemporary style and structured fluidity, this is a beautiful choice and its currently in sale.

While we are it, how gorgeous would this Khaite top be paired with some tailored, floor-skimming wide pants.

What is more iconic than a white wedding suit?

This dress is woven with tiny daisies and has a beautiful summery Jane Birken feel to it.

This layered, ethereal, organza beauty feels classic and modern all at once.

What could be more perfect for a day of romance than a Simone Rocha tulle dream? This could slip right into your wardrobe after your big day.

The signature dramatic silhouette of A Maticevski gown makes for a striking choice for your big day.

Isn’t there something so romantically simple about getting married in a rustic linen/cotton sun dress? This would be perfect for a countryside wedding in the sun.

Yes to feather trimmed sleeves. Imagine the movement for the photos.

Stunningly simple.

On the other end of the scale, what could be more unconventional than hot off the catwalk McQueen with a billowing high low skirt and dramatic sleeves? Switch out the boots for some gorgeous sandals and keep the rest of your look simple.

Oh hi. This would be so fun to glide around in on your big day.

Matches

I think The Vampires Wife would be my go to if I hadn’t already gone for it.

I mean.

Let’s just go for the hat trick with The Vampires Wife.

Cecilie Bahnsen’s romantic ruffles and volume make for a perfect whimsical choice.

For example….. Also how perfect is this bag for the occasion?

A white floral in an impactful shape can be a really striking and slightly different choice.

Ok, just one more Cecilie Bahnsen. If you are going short, how adorable is this?

This is somehow romantic, sexy and directional all at once.

It’s another Carrie Bradshaw moment. So classic.

16Arlington’s capsule collection for Matches is seriously worth checking out for high octane, out of the box glamour for your big day.

.The shirt dress could be worn alone or with the trousers for a totally different look. Why not wear the set and whip off the feather-trim satin trousers later for a new take on the second look party change.

Full. On. Glamour.

If you are looking for gorgeous simplicity, this lets your glowing bride beauty and accessories do the talking.

The hand beaded diamond cut-outs add a level of detail to this beautifully simple floor-sweeping silhouette.

The devil is in the detail with this gorgeous pearl and crystal encrusted, off shoulder gown. The black bows add a contemporary twist to the look too.

Maybe it’s the name, but wouldn’t this actually be perfect for a beachside Ibiza wedding?

So Grecian and so ethereal. Check out the back too, I don’t know which viewpoint is more gorgeous.

This dress is fire. Plus you could rewear it.

I love the mix of the off-the-shoulder dramatic bow with the short hemline. This would look so good with slicked back hair and minimal but gorgeous accessories.

This is so cool. Apparently the design references Caroline Herrera’s 1968 wedding look.

I feel like we can’t not mention this coat. Just in case you are getting married somewhere cold / rainy and plan on really featuring your outerwear, how amazing is this?
