The clean cut bridal trend is perfect for brides who like to keep things understated, with options that use exceptional materials and fine cut to present a sharp silhouette and timeless style credentials
The bridal trend for crisp and clean-cut gowns and separates is the natural antithesis of the current crop of gowns featuring bold texture and colour. This is a completely different look for the pared-back bride, relying on exceptional fabrics, a simple silhouette and fine, but understated, luxury details.
Bow belle – Carolina Herrera
Faye is a standout piece from Carolina Herrera’s collection. Cut to show off shoulders and waist, it has elegant shorter length bell sleeves featuring unstructured bows – a simple detail in a gown that focuses on form. thewedding-club.co.uk
Curve maker – Rosa Clará
With a high neckline and minimal detailing, Pesaro is all about cut and exceptional fabric. A body-hugging silhouette emphasises the waist, while the slimline skirt tapers to a train. The soft, shorter-length bell sleeves have a tapered hem to add just a touch of drama. rosaclara.es
Furry story – Marylise
Separates are a great option for a less formal look and this Infinity ensemble from Marylise combines soft pussy-bow blouse with sharp bridal pants and Folie fun-fur jacket – cool style credentials and great for after parties. marylisebridal.com
Fine line – Joyce Young
Camelia is a classic and refined sleeveless gown from Joyce Young Couture. It features wide-cut neckline and a simple flower detail to define the waist, while the fine train adds a touch of old-school glamour for the ceremony. joyceyoungcollections.co.uk
Smooth operator – Otaduy
Offering lace, but in a contemporary pattern and combined with a slick curvaceous gown with cutaway waist, Hildra is the perfect number for the modern boho bride from the Barcelona bridal house of Otaduy. otaduy.co/en
Smartie pants – Jenny Packham
While Jenny Packham’s Magic tulle top is boldly embellished with crystals, the pairing with a simple and beautifully cut pair of Clemence palazzo pants is perfect for cutting a contemporary dash. We love the soft caramel colourway, a chic alternative to whites and ivories. jennypackham.com
Flower bright – Charlie Brear
Lawton is a chic sleeveless number with wide neckline and soft tailoring to define the waist. The flower embellished belt detail is the perfect foil to such a simple gown, featuring large and small blooms decorated with crystals. charliebrear.com
Box clever – Andrea Hawkes
Perfect for the bride who wants a neat cover up to wear after the day, this boxy Anderson jacket is in butter soft leather and makes the perfect complement to Andrea Hawkes’ classic Demi slimline gown (pictured top). andreahawkes.co.uk
