Effortless Elegance: Bridal Styling Tips from Head to Heels

Wedding outfit shopping can be one of the most exciting parts of your wedding, but it can also be rather daunting. There are so many aspects to think about. Matching your style to your theme and location, what shape heels to choose, diamond or pearl hair accessories….. and that’s before you have even thought about bridesmaids! 

This season we have made it simple - We have teamed up with our friends at PS Styling to help you style your bridal outfit from head to toe. Taking inspiration from New York Bridal Week and upcoming trends, we are here to help you choose the perfect looks for your wedding. 

THE GARDEN WEDDING

Dress- Hermoine De Paula, Shoes - Josie Misty Rose, Hair Pins - Crystal Star Hair Pins, Clutch Bag - Natasha Misty Rose, Earrings - Noor Fares, Hair Crown - Hermoine D'Paula, Veil - Hermoine DePaula

Hermione De Paula’s 2022 Bridal collection has to be one of our favourites yet! The collection centres around the idea of transformation and renewal which could not be more relevant given the past couple of years.
We are crushing hard on this beautiful satin-bustier column gown and 'open heart' removable bodice. This season we have seen designers creating more removable items to their bridal collections such as sleeves, capes, and skirts. The perfect answer to a transformational look from ceremony to reception!

In keeping with the whimsical theme, Hermione De Paula also creates hand-embroidered and personalised veils and bridal crowns. Keep the jewellery minimal to avoid overshadowing the beautiful intricate detailing.

If you’re getting married in a garden it's important you are comfortable on multiple surfaces. We have paired this blush-toned gown with the Emmy London 'Josie Misty Rose' block heels. Pretty and practical without losing elegance. 

Dress- Alexandra Grecco, Shoes - Zoe Ivory, Hair Pins - Luna Pearl Pin Set, Bag - Shrimps, Jewellery - HSamuels

Alexandra Grecco has become synonymous with timeless and refined silhouettes. Catering to the less traditional bride who wants to feel like her most authentic self on her wedding day, this ethereal A-line dress is effortless and so flattering for almost all body types!

Shoes do not have to be high to be chic, so we have paired this gown with the ‘Zoe Ivory' flats. With its beautifully hand embroidered and appliqué botanical details, this dress is showcasing a top trend for 2022 . Keeping your accessories simplistic is key, add in some silver 'Luna pearl' hairpins and dainty Emmy London jewellery to pull your look together.

 

THE DESTINATION WEDDING

 

Dress- Dana Harel, Shoes - Florence Ivory, Bag - Florence Ivory Clutch, Jewellery - Shay, Veil - Harriette Gordon

Getting married in an Italian villa? Who better to embody than world-renowned actress Sophia Loren. Dana Harel’s latest collection inspired by this Italian actress’ effortless confidence and beauty, is feminine and poised with a modern and contemporary feel.

This season we have seen a huge trend towards “off the shoulder” designs. This gown's effortless drapery paired with minimum accessories is the perfect destination show stopper. Add in some aquamarine earrings as your “something blue”. The iconic 'Florence Ivory' heels and matching clutch bag is the perfect way to tie in the bow on the waist. Keep your veil short and minimal for a truly Sophia Loren experience!

 

 

 

Dress- Jenny Yoo, Shoes - Ruby Mule, Jewellery - Aligheiri, Veil - Britten

Looking for a bridal brand that offers options for both intimate and grand settings? Look no further than Jenny Yoo! This modern and simplistic silk gown with trending thigh slit detail is ideal for a hot summer’s wedding, at home or abroad. The fabric is lightweight and airy, plus the figure-hugging silhouette offers the perfect balance of sun-kissed skin and elegance.

Pair this look with the super on-trend accessories brand; Alighieri. Layer up with their warm rustic golds, which will mirror and reflect the Mediterranean landscape. A mule heel is also having a moment and will keep your look contemporary. The 'Ruby Mule' is perfect for this sophisticated style. Sometimes less is more so go for a lace-trimmed veil or a delicate polka dot option.

 

THE CITY WEDDING 

Dress- Half Penny London, Shoes -Anna Ivory, Earrings - Sophie Bille Brahe, Hair Pins -  Lotus Cluster Pin Set, Bag - Rosantica

With their fashion-forward sculpted gowns, Half Penny’s beautiful 2022 collection ‘3’ is your answer to a city wedding. This Hyacinth dress is styled with the Dahlia Detachable bow. Bows are everywhere at the moment and our brides are loving it!
Pearls are also very on-trend this season and compliment this gown beautifully. Choose a contemporary design when selecting your pearls, like these Sophie Billie Brahe’s multi-drop earrings and the Rosantica top handle bag to keep your look feeling simplistic and modern. We have opted for the 'Lotus Cluster' hair accessories rather than a veil to not distract from the statement bow. The 'Anna Ivory' heels are a perfect match for this column skirt, elongating your legs and helping to create a sculpted silhouette.

 

 

 

 

Suit - Yolancris , Shoes - Gigi Ivory Boots, Bag - Natasha Ivory & Gold, Hat - Emily London, Headband - Jane Taylor London,  Rings - HSamuels, Earrings - Dinny Hall

Tailoring has had a big movement in bridal over the past year with more people opting for stripped-back ceremonies or a more practical look. And it doesn’t seem to be fading, with this Bianca Jagger-inspired 2 piece from Yolancris’ 2022 collection.  

The 'Gigi Ivory boots' are in keeping with your vintage-inspired look and the bows will add a further bridal edge. When selecting your accessories think ‘Saint Laurent’. These dinny hall gold drop earrings add a delicate and effortlessly cool touch to your bridal look. This look also lends itself well to a hat or headpiece. This Jane Taylor Milliner headband with veil is super chic, or if you’re feeling really brave Emily London have incredible wide brim hats that will create a real show-stopping look.

We hope this has given you some inspiration for your wedding style and you are ready to start curating your dream bridal outfit.
