Wedding

Every dress purchase deserves careful consideration, but none to the same degree as your wedding dress. You’ll wear it for just one day (unless you plan to rework it later on), yet it will probably be the most photographed item you ever wear. And if 1980s brides and their taffeta popcorn-sleeve dresses have taught us anything, it’s that some trends can wind up feeling a little outdated. There’s something to be said for embracing the trends of an era, and you might enjoy looking back with fondness for fashion gone by. But if you’re fearful of one day cringing at the dress in your wedding pictures, stick to a classic design.

Is it just me or does it feel like you receive another wedding invitation in the mail every week? Thankfully, I love weddings, but they involve a bit of planning. How will I get there? Where will I stay? What will I get the happy couple as a gift? And, my favourite thing; what will I wear? Over the years, I’ve assembled quite the collection of wedding guest dresses, however, upon raking my rails for a dress for a wedding I have in late October, I soon realised that my current wedding guest-dress selection very summery. I’ve been to two autumn weddings in my time, but I was a bridesmaid with a dress provided to me at both, so I’ve never had to find myself a seasonally-appropriate outfit for an autumn wedding.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When yo...

Summer might be largely considered peak wedding season, but if you’re anything like me, you’ll have a few nuptials to attend before the year is out: some couples prefer to say ‘I do’ while shrouded in beautiful autumnal light, for example, or surrounded by a romantic winter wonderland. And if you’ve scored an invite to such an occasion, you’re probably starting to think about what you should wear.  With a whole new season comes a whole new set of trends. This autumn/winter, there’s a refreshing focus on colour—all things bright and cheerful are in the spotlight, but we’re also seeing a lot of rich neutrals that are ideal for upcoming weddings.  To make your event dressing easier, we’ve scoured our f...

There’s a reason so many jewellery designers look to the past for guidance. From 1930s Art Deco diamonds to ’70s-esque chunky bands, each era comes with its distinctive take on the engagement ring. And all these years later, we can decipher which have stood the test of time and still feel classic today. This brings us here, to our edit of the very best vintage-style engagement rings. The term vintage is broad, so there’s a good chance a design below will be The One for you or will at least help steer you in a certain direction. Whether it’s a cluster of stones arranged in a flower or a single emerald set into gold, scroll to see which old-school engagement ring captures your heart.

I’m a firm believer that autumn is the most romantic season. It’s my favorite season in general, so I might be a little biased, but surely you agree that browning leaves and crisp, cosy evenings form a fairytale backdrop for blossoming love. Yes, this theory is inspired by Nora Ephron, and I’m all for it. So it makes sense that many couples would schedule their nuptials during this special time of year. May to August might be peak wedding season, but September and October are also popular months to tie the knot. We often spend this season adjusting to colder weather and stocking up on the layers it necessitates, so the question of what to wear to an autumn wedding can often be difficult to answer. Certain fabrics, silhouettes and colourways are far better suited to an aut...

Building a winter wedding outfit is a process rife with problems. You want to be warm, but you don’t want to feel so bundled up that you can’t show off your outfit. Then there’s the issue of accidentally wearing all black and looking rather sombre for a lovely occasion. Indeed, it’s a sartorial minefield.  But fear not, as there is no shortage of solutions to the cold-weather outfit dilemma. I’ve worked tirelessly to hunt down a few looks that are super easy to copy and will work for not only someone’s chilly nuptials but also any other occasion you might have coming up that you want to dress up for. And yes, they just might help you get some use out of pieces you already own. What can I say? I’ve always been partial to a bit of m...

Park the pressure of finding the wedding dress, and for now, focus on what to wear for your engagement do. If there’s a dress you adore that doesn’t feel quite special enough for the ceremony, this is a good opportunity to still include it in your bridal identity. Depending on the venue, time of day, and the guest list (grandma probably won’t appreciate a super-sexy mini), you can opt for a silky white slip dress, romantic ruffle-adorned maxi, or something in between the two. We’ve done the hard work for you and whittled down the very best engagement party dresses out there, from designer, semi-affordable and high street brands. Plus, there are a few rental and secondhand options in the mix for those reluctant to splash out for one even...

Normally, I say to hell with fashion “rules,” but a wedding is certainly one place where I’ll happily abide by tradition as a guest—after all, it’s not my day to shine. The unspoken guidelines include not wearing white and not upstaging the couple, and they’re easy enough to follow for one evening. That said, when the groom specifically asks you to wear white and dresses you in his own designs, that’s a whole different story. This was clearly the case at the wedding of designer Simon Porte Jacquemus and Marco Maestri in Charleval, France. Nearly all of the attendees wore white to the celebrity-packed event, and the lucky ones, including Dua Lipa, were dressed by Jacquemus himself. Her completely sheer, underwear-exposing dress tr...

So, once you’ve found the shop, scheduled the appointment and assembled the bridal party, before you start looking through the rails, Ally Voss, Founder and Designer at contemporary wedding wear Clover London has three key things you should bear in mind while you shop. 1. Budget: “Everyone has a budget. Stick to yours and I promise it will help it guide your search. Also, always ask how much alterations are in all appointments. these can be hefty add ons so its always good to budget.”   2. Venue & Environment: “Narrow your search by eliminating gowns that won’t work for your venue and or the environment/weather. For instance if you are getting married in an English garden in July, don’t try on gowns with long fitted...
