1. Lounge luxe – Cymbeline
Bridal trousers are finding a place in many designer collections and this pared-back ensemble from Cymbeline combines lightweight harem-style pants with a loosely knotted pure white shirt and bralet. With a touch of 1930s Hollywood, it’s perfect for a cool bride at a destination wedding. cymbeline.com
2. Ruffle up – Galia Lahav
Longline corset-style bodices are big news on the bridal runway, as are ruffles and high necks, and this Galia Lahav number combines all three in a show-stopping fitted gown with mermaid skirt and train. The handkerchief-effect sleeves and jewel detailing add a royal flourish. galialahav.com
3. Texture queen – Naeem Khan
Lace and 3D effects are being used to build texture and flow into simple silhouettes. This slimline Naeem Khan gown features sheer-effect panel on the skirt and cutaway-shoulders to add a sexy edge. UK exclusive stockist is The Wedding Club. thewedding-club.co.uk
4. Pure glamour – Sassi Holford
Luscious silk satin and clean cut create a standout style for the bride who wants to channel decadent glamour. While Sassi Holford has created a classic sheath gown with a 1930s flavour, clever shaping around the neckline and bodice flatters the waist and adds flow and movement. sassiholford.com
5. Take the plunge – Reem Acra
Plunge necks are much in evidence on the catwalks, but Reem Accra makes this a super- elegant affair with this beautifully structured gown featuring wide shoulders, flattering draping at the bodice and draped A-line skirt. reemacra.com
6. Eastern elegance – Anna Georgina
South African designer Kobus Dippenaar showed a two-piece-effect design at White Gallery London with an almost South Asian flavour. We love the combination of fluid panelled skirt and fitted long-sleeve top incorporating exquisite lace. annageorgina.co.za
