Boho and beautiful

1/10

Romantic off-shoulder necklines and floral lace make for gowns that wouldn't look out of place at a Spring-inspired celebration.

For an outdoor soiree, airy layers of tulle might prove a little less cumbersome than a heavy or structured fabrics.

Fit for royalty

Structured fluid silhouettes and long sleeves are your ticket to a classic and regal wedding look - just think Grace Kelly's iconic wedding dress.

Off-shoulder necklines aren't just a great way to tastefully bare some skin (the collarbone's the erogenous zone to show off) but also creates a more proportionate look for those of you with wider hips. For a more trad look, the scoop neckline is a flattering option.

A touch of whimsy

4/10

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren’s take on bridal couture has always struck the perfect balance between unconventional and wearable. Just take this tiered confection for instance - there are plenty of frills and flounces but it resists looking too cupcake-like thanks to a clean, structured bodice and immaculate cut.

For the minimalist bride

If your bridal mantra's less is more, these tailored styles are just plain chic. Justin Alexander's classic approach features a long sleeved fitted bodice with an elegant bateau neck (very 50s inspired), while Gracy Accad gives it a modern spin with a sheer layer.

Tiers of joy

8/10

Tiered styles don't just add volume (sans the heavy layers), they also give your big day look modern intrigue. 

Fluttery tiers evoke feminine charm while a tulle peplum offers both softness and structure.

Modern florals

10/10

For fairytale-worthy dresses, Elie Saab is a go-to for many. For the bride who prefers her floral wedding dress (a perennial bridal favourite) a little more contemporary, this one with cascading 3D appliques, a nipped-in waist and a modern neckline gets our thumbs up.
