Bridal designers you need to know
As bridal fashion continues to grow outside the realms of the classic white structured dress, we love the no boundaries and more creative styles gracing catwalks and aisles this year. With so many brides opting for multiple looks on the wedding day itself, not forgetting the welcome and post-wedding recovery day bring an opportunity to continue to rock the bridal white or curate an entirely different look.
FOR THE BRIDE: who unconforms but still wants femininity
Bringing the effortlessly chic ‘Je ne sais quoi’ energy to the bridal runway, French brand Rime Arodaky has only been around since 2012 but in our opinion they can do no wrong. Think soft fabrics, silhouette shapes and fashion-forward dresses. With a Couture collection, Ready-to-wear and even Preloved dresses from as little as 1,200 euro, we have died and gone to dress heaven!
PRICE: guideline 1,200-16,890 euro

Pockets, sheer panelling and separates are iconic in this era of bride.
FOR THE BRIDE: who wants romance and drama (the good kind!)
Think vintage romance with modern details. Los Angeles-based designer Macye Wysner has got us going wild for their Spring collection. Each dress has an element of theatre woven into its design - metaphorically speaking. We are in love with the Shakespearean-inspired ruffled fabric and the surprising asymmetry which we didn't know we needed in a dress til now!
PRICE: £5,000-£8,000 guideline
