Modern
princess
From royal weddings that capture the world’s attention to sticking on a Disney movie when you
think no-one is watching, a girl’s longing to be a
princess never really goes away – you just learn
to hide it better. We don’t want to be spoilsports,
but your wedding is your last big chance to don
a tiara and beautiful ballgown (unless you find
Prince Harry on Tindr). Modern princesses look
for contemporary cuts or eye-catching
embellishments.

You can’t go wrong with a lace wedding dress,
after all, it’s been in fashion for hundreds of
years! For a 2015 take on this classic look,
we’re noticing lots of heavily embellished lace,
with pearls, beads, diamantés and sequins
taking this timeless fabric to the next level.
When it comes to accessorising this look, less
is definitely more – let the dress do the talking
because it can certainly hold the room’s
attention on its own.

They say opposites attract, so it’s no
wonder that the explosion of dare-to-bare
dresses has invoked a rival trend for
covered-up couture. Far from dowdy,
these dresses show you can still look
stunning without skintight cuts that
could leave you frightened to have all
three courses of your wedding meal. Keep
curves on the forefront if you’re covering
arms, while cowled necklines and floaty
skirts allow you to flash a hint of flesh.

Strappy
Not
Running
It’s no coincidence that thanks to the
biggest wedding of 2014, a deluge of brides are
now looking to recreate those famous eyekatching kurves. For maximum movement,
make sure the flare starts as high as possible –
the most form-fitting fishtails, breathtaking as
they may be, can be difficult to walk, move and
dance in as the day goes on. Nothing should
stop you from twerking (if you want to!), so go
for a gown with a bit of give.
