From hi-lo hemlines and bustle effects to clubland style and flower power, here are seven runway looks to love from the new season’s bridal fashion
Sexy Separates
The separates look, with top and skirt or waistband detailing, is bang on trend, and played out beautifully in this sleek design. It features bold appliqué, beading and just a hint of midriff. Design by YolanCris; London stockists include Mirror Mirror. mirrormirror.uk.com
Hi-lo hemlines
Super contemporary and capable of transitioning from ceremony to party, the best hi-lo shapes give you a train effect so you can sashay when you walk and show off those shapely legs. This design is by London couturier Lucy Tammam. tammam.co.uk
Bling bows
Bows are cropping up on the catwalk on belts and waistbands. Supersize versions are even being incorporated into necklines, as with this fabulously slinky mermaid-style ballgown by The Couture Gallery, London. thecouturegallery.com
Bustle effects
Emphasising the waist and hips, clever bustle effects add swing and may even be incorporated into trains. This slimline Savin London gown has the addition of both a frothy overskirt for volume and an elegant train. savinlondon.com
Smooth line
A new smooth line is much in evidence, pure movie glamour with plunge necklines and flowing, A-line skirts. This elegant Jenny Packham gown, with fashion-forward texture and sequin detailing, features deep v-neck and bow detailing at the waist. jennypackham.com
Flower bursts
Cottage-garden blooms are springing up on everything from appliqué and faux buttonhole flowers to fabrics. This sweet and feminine summer design by London designer Alan Hannah features a blowsy pink gardenia print midway down the gown. alanhannah.co.uk
Clubland chic
Plunge necklines and gossamer-light skirts – even bridal pants – are conjuring 1970s clubland chic, with daring cuts, layering and long, transparent jackets and coats. This dare-to-bare design is by Spanish fashion house YolanCris. London stockists include Mirror Mirror. yolancris.com
