Featuring six laid-back, easy-to- wear designs, it’s a must-see for free-spirited brides-to-be looking for a dress that reflects their personality. Made from heavenly laces, tulles and silks, all of these creations are beautiful, but my personal favourite is Agatha , which features this season’s key detail: statement sleeves.
