From Dresses To Diamonds, Fall In Love With These Beautiful Bridal Looks

Don’t discount the mini dress as a chic bridal option. Perfect for those getting married in balmy temperatures, it makes for a cool, contemporary choice on your big day. Cut from white silk faille, this strapless Carolina Herrera style is decorated with a pretty, floral, beaded design and has a classic sweetheart neckline. This versatile style will look equally elegant with pointed kitten heels, sleek stilettos or fabulous flats.

London-based designer Erdem is a master of romantic gowns, and this exquisite ‘Celestina’ dress from the brand’s bridal collection is no exception. Crafted from silk organza with undulating cap sleeves and a waist-defining grosgrain belt, it delivers an enduringly elegant, vintage aesthetic. Pair it with equally timeless strappy sandals, such as these beauties by Bottega Veneta.

Brides who favor understated style will fall head over heels for Octavia Elizabeth’s ‘Olivia’ engagement ring. Made from hammered 18-karat gold and an oval-cut diamond, layer it with the label’s handmade eternity ring, ‘Ivy’, for the most dazzling of wedding stacks, then complete your look with the LA-based brand’s drop baroque pearl or diamond-dusted hoop earrings.

For timeless elegance, consider this languid silk and wool-blend gown by Danielle Frankel. Bias-cut so it falls and drapes beautifully, it features a demure neckline and a sensual open back – cue divine cowl detailing and a floor-sweeping train that will waft behind you as you walk down the aisle. Wear it with heels to accentuate its column-esque shape.

For a unique wedding band design, look to Spinelli Kilcollin, whose diamond and mixed metal ‘Marigold’ ring is an eye-catching piece that is sure to become a future heirloom – as will the brand’s delicate 18-karat gold and pearl ‘Gravity’ necklace.

Uncomplicated but impactful designs are what Emilia Wickstead does best. This ‘Oceania’ gown – part of the designer’s exclusive bridal collection for NET-A-PORTER – is the epitome of sophistication. Cut from a luxe wool-crepe, its slim spaghetti straps flow into a gorgeous full skirt that swishes beautifully as you glide down the aisle. With just a peep of your shoes visible beneath, opt for a pretty, pointed pair that will offset its precision-cut silhouette.

Looking for something more pared-back than a traditional veil? Headbands are a cool and minimalist option. Modern milliner Maison Michel has a variety of styles, from those with micro veils to more voluminous versions in lustrous finishes that you’ll wear again and again.

Galvan has long been a go-to for contemporary bridalwear. Beloved for its clean lines and fluid fabrics, those who favor modern designs or are seeking a stylish dress to slip into for the evening section of their big day will adore this ‘Sienna’ midi. Its length is ideal for showing off your shoes, so choose a pair you love – these crystal-embellished Jimmy Choos lend an opulent finish to your look.

When it comes to wedding jewels, layers of scintillating chains will beautifully offset a modern square neckline – look to Jade Trau for diamond embellished necklaces of varying lengths. Meanwhile, high necklines are best paired with drop earrings, and Jade Trau’s jaw-grazing pair are handcrafted from 18-karat gold and dazzling, pear-cut diamonds. Indeed, inspired by the keepsake nature of Victorian-era jewelry, the designer creates her collections to be treasured forever, which is the perfect sentiment for your wedding day and beyond.
