Victorian and Edwardian references are appearing in many of this season’s most striking gowns and accessories, the perfect way to be heroine of your own romantic period drama
Words Libby Norman
This season there are all sorts of references to the styles of yesteryear appearing on the catwalk and in bridal accessories. Perhaps it’s the Downton or Victoria effect, but we can’t resist an old-world swoon when we see a neatly buttoned longline jacket or modest high-necked blouse. If the gowns offer too much coverage for your taste, then do at least consider classic pearl earrings. Your grandmother would most certainly approve and they will add a touch of period glamour to a contemporary wedding day.
