👰 recently published the 6 wedding dress trends to expect for 2022 and lucky for us these on-trend gowns are all available from bridal boutiques on our website!

💕So if you are still looking for the perfect dress or know someone that is, tag, share, save this post and let us know which one you would choose!

💖Here are your Top 6 trends to look out for…

✨‘Larger Than Life’ Sleeves – Add drama to any classic wedding dress. Make them detachable for a variety of looks!

👑Princess Silhouette – Feel like royalty during your ceremony with a detachable overskirt that can be removed when you’re ready to hit the dance floor!

❄Capes – Step out of a fairy tale with a touch of romance and warmth during chilly winter months. See our recent post for more inspo!

💍Big Veils – You don’t have to ditch the traditional look completely! Accessorise with a long, flowing veil that is intricate and lacy or simple and sleek.

💚Sustainability – Wedding dresses no longer need to feel like a single-use item. From fabric choice to style, many brides are now considering how their dresses can be worn again in future.

💕Interchangeable Separates – Wearing separates is another way to be sustainable, especially if you are having a nontraditional or smaller wedding. Consider how you can wear them long after your wedding day!

🤵🏽👰🏽A TOP TABLE FOR TWO

🍽 Deciding on who will be sitting on your top table can become stressful, so why not keep things simple and have the top table just for the two of you!

❤️ Enjoy your wedding breakfast as newly weds and the rest of your wedding party can be seated with other guests. You can then mingle around the tables and speak with everyone once you have finished!

👍So if opinions are divided on the seating plan, it’s causing upset or you just want it to be the two of you then this really is the perfect solution!

Wedding day scent

Many brides and grooms choose a new scent for their wedding day.

A scent, perfume or smell can trigger a certain feeling or memory. This is because scents and essential oils stimulate the olfactory nerve, sending a signal to the limbic system which is responsible for processing emotion and memory.

The relationship between a scent and emotion is a wonderful thing. By choosing a entirely new fragrance for your wedding day means every time you smell that scent you will remember your special day!

💐The bride’s bouquet 💐

🌸 Choosing your bouquet and wedding flowers can be overwhelming but most of the time the flowers you choose comes down to three things:

🌷Your personal preference

🌷The colour theme and style of your wedding

🌷The time of year your wedding will be taking place as you will need to ensure that the flowers are readily available.

🌸 So use all of the above as a starting point and don’t forgot that your chosen florist will be able to offer advice and guidance too to ensure that you are walking down the aisle with a beautiful bouquet.

💐 Here are some gorgeous wedding bouquets to give some you inspo!
