Your London Wedding - May/June 2023 (Issue 89)

DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY 39 TO IMPRESS Dress Top looks for your bridal party GIFT KENRICK, LOVE LANE LONDON www.lovelanelondon.com Statement sleeves have become a more prominent part of the bridal scene in recent years, along with cathedral veils and natural hair and make-up. It’s a modern and understated take on the princess look. Many brides have shunned the traditional princess ball gowns and opted for modern dresses with thighhigh slits paired with aisle-sweeping cathedral veils. It’s a great way to make a statement and show off your wedding shoes! JOSEPHINE PARKHILL, JOSEPHINE SCOTT LONDON www.josephinescott.co.uk Change your big-day style with flattering accessories that give the dramatic wow factor without changing your gown! Take your look from day to night with Eloise from the latest Josephine Scott London collection. Sumptuous satin is draped to flatter and cinch the waist over an inner couture corset, that falls generously into a full circle skirt with cleverly concealed pockets. The stylish sleeved body, belt and bow are detachable to create a versatile look, whatever your style.

Modern weddings are now featuring a host of events that are separate to the actual nuptials, meaning that whatever the bride’s wearing must be versatile. We’ve seen a rise in non-traditional styles such as mini dresses, two-piece suits and co-ords. Brides have been focussing more on distinct and trendy details including dramatic veils, hair accessories and statement jewellery.
