Dress for your venue

City chic hotel
If you’ve chosen a sophisticated city setting, your bridal fashion needs to work with your contemporary location. Look to the catwalks for the latest bridal ideas, and pick out key trends to keep your look modern and elegant.

Glamorous locations lend themselves to bold style moves – why not wow in a short wedding dress? Alternatively, try a longer style, but look for unusual details like a belt in a contrasting colour, or asymmetric detailing. Plus, a statement setting deserves statement heels – opt for towering stilettos, and a pair of chic flats for hitting the dancefloor!

Fairytale Castle
If you’ve always pictured yourself getting married in a dramatic castle setting, chances are you’ve imagined a full, fabulous dress to match! Think big when choosing your gown – often castle locations are full of statement features, and you want to stand out and make an impact!

Full gowns don’t have to be heavy though – look for tulle skirts for a bold look that’s still easy to move around in.
Team your dress with delicate heels and pretty pastel lips for a bridal style that’s high on romance, and add embellishments and beading to inject that all-important touch of glamour!

Rustic Barn
A romantic converted barn is the perfect setting for laid-back, nature-loving brides, and you want to capture that same relaxed feeling with your bridal fashion!

Think delicate fabrics, and incorporate pretty details such as lace and embroidery to add a vintage-inspired feel. Intricate jewellery is a great way to personalise your style, and go for low-heeled shoes you can move freely in – there are plenty of styles that still feature lots of feminine details! A colourful bouquet will complete your look perfectly – choose seasonal English blooms for a touch of country garden chic.

Stately Home
Grand and glamorous, a stately home setting is perfect for brides looking for wow-factor. Your fashion choices need to reflect the grandeur of your setting while nodding to current bridal trends – we love the idea of sleek, satin gowns with trains which will sweep along those long corridors!

Keep your accessories elegant and understated, and give a nod to the era of your setting with some antique-look earrings or hair accessories. If you can’t resist some bling though, go for ultra-glamorous heels – they’ll look amazing peeking out from underneath your dress!

Village Hall
If you’re going for a fun, relaxed setting like a village hall, your big day look needs to reflect the quirky-cool atmosphere you’ll be creating with your venue styling! Draw inspiration from ‘40s and ’50s-style fashions – we love the trend for calf-length prom-style dress for a pretty, romantic look.

Accessorize with bold hair flowers for a girly look, or add a vintage-look headband with delicate beading. You can go to town with elegant T-bar heels and retro-fabulous jewellery, and finish off the look with a big bunch of beautiful wild flowers in pretty pastel shades.
