Romantic Elegance

Traditionally in the past most white weddings were the same. The dress and veil, the something blue, complete with a church and not forgetting the reception afterwards, with the ham and cucumber triangle sandwiches. Over the years prospective bride’s views have broadened on different wedding ideas ranging from locations to themes. Brides have slowly started to step away from the traditional white dress and wedding, exploring other ideas and themes to incorporate into their own individual day.

The blushing bride ‘all dressed in white’ over recent years has become more of a rarity. Though many brides do still favour this traditional, elegant look others have stepped out in more daring colours and styles, which might suit their theme; or perhaps choose something more subtle; in keeping with their skin tone or desired look.

These striking dresses would make magnificent alternatives to the traditional dress if you are looking for something diverse and different.
