And, whether for glamorous ballroom receptions or intimate garden affairs, these charming confections will have all eyes on you, and have you feeling like a beautiful bride and more, on your big day.

Anne Barge
A modern update to the classic strapless gown: bucolic lace details, paired with a tiered skirt that adds visual interest.

 

Liz Martinez
We love the minimalist chic look for solemnisations, but the clever detailing on the waist and hem blew us away. See also: fuss-free dresses for your ROM if you want to skip the formal gown.

 

 

Romona Keveza
One gown, two looks – one for your ceremony, the other for your reception. Is it us, or does the one on the left resemble the late Princess Grace Kelly’s lace ballgown? Either way, it’s stunning.
