We can’t get enough of this absolute beauty of a ballgown!

May we present Julian by Pronovias, crafted from luxurious classic mikado with a stunning jacquard effect and a detachable floral detail detail at the waist.

That voluminous princess-style skirt and a square neckline lend a traditional ballgown appeal making the wearer feel as if they have stepped into their own fairytale.

We may need to try this on for ourselves, it’s just too beautiful!

The super feminine, elegant Hart dress by Pronovias is a lace and embroidered tulle mermaid-style dress.

The cut perfectly defines the bride’s silhouette and fans into the most gorgeous train.

The sweetheart neckline bodice can be beautifully complemented with detachable sleeves for added detail.

Whether you are looking for a dress for a bohemian-style wedding, or a classical romantic look, Hart is a versatile classic that can be styled in many ways.

We simply adored working with Topaz Gilmore helping her create this stunning bridal look for her wedding this summer.

Topaz chose to wear Hamptons by Pronovias and complemented the dress’s long train with a beautiful cathedral veil.

She looked absolutely stunning and we wish Topaz and her husband all our best wishes for their future as husband and wife.

They have been popping up everywhere this year, in all shapes and sizes and we just can’t get enough of the big bow trend in bridal this season! 🎀

Bows are timeless, decidedly feminine and incredibly versatile.

Bows can be added to hair pieces, sleeves, or fastened to the back of dresses with long cascading trains to transform your bridal look.

We love the drama of a big statement bow on the back of a dress, especially if this is detachable allowing you room to move freely and adapt your dress for the evening reception.

If you are thinking about including bows into your bridal style, give some thought to how this can transcend to your bridesmaids outfits or accessories or even the table decorations and stationary.

We are always happy to help you style your dress to match your decor and wedding style.

We get asked many questions about how to care for and store your dress after your wedding day.

Here are our top tips:
🧺Get your dress professionally cleaned as soon as possible after your wedding day. We have recommended cleaners who will take the utmost care with your dress. If you’re heading straight off on your honeymoon, why not ask your maid of honour to take care of this task for you?

🎁Acid-free tissue paper and storage materials are a must. Stuff the bodice and sleeves of your dress to help it maintain its shape. We recommend flat storage in an acid-free archival box.

🙏Make regular checks on your stored dress and refold it periodically and always with clean hands.

Lace and satin, THE wedding dress materials. But how to choose which one is for you?
Here is a quick guide for each:

Lace ✨
• Timeless and romantic -
perfect for vintage- and boho-styled weddings
• Carries detail and patterns without the need for heavy embellishments
• A lighter and more breathable material, easier to wear in warmer conditions
• Lace can be layered or added in accessories such as sleeves, adding detail without needing to make up the whole dress
• Remember that lace is fragile - be careful of snagging and tearing!

Satin 💫
• The smooth, gloss finish of satin delivers a sense of luxury, making it perfect for modern and formal weddings
• A heavier fabric, satin is often used for dresses that have stong structure and clean lines.
• Whether you are looking for simple or standout, the versatility of satin means it can be used in a variety of designs and styles
• Satin showcases colour incredibly well. If you’re keen to explore beyond the traditional white for your wedding day, this might be the fabric for you
• Satin is prone to wrinkling, make sure you hang your dress well and have steamer instructions to look your best on your wedding day

For bespoke guidance and advice, as ever, make sure you book in with our bridal consultants.

Your wedding day will be a beautiful but long day on your feet, so choose your footwear with careful consideration! 👠

Over the years we have seen every type of shoe and even the odd barefoot bride (perfect for a long dress at a beach wedding!) and we’ve heard many-a-tale of sore and swollen feet from poor choices😮‍💨

What should you look for?

⭐️ Always start with finding your
dress first, this will dictate your style and what options are then available to you.

⭐️ Prioritise comfort. Sounds boring to be sensible, but you’ll thank yourself for this. This is especially important if you have flat feet or high arches and this will change the placement of pressure on your feet throughout the day.

⭐️ Account for your venue. Will you be on grass, sand, flagstones? If you are in an older venue check their restrictions on heels. Some venues with old wooden flooring are keen to prevent damage to their buildings.

⭐️ Love to dance? Consider an evening shoe to change into that allows you to let your dance moves loose whilst keeping in the style of your dress.

⭐️ Always try shoes on first. Always wear them in for a few days ahead of your big day (we like to give them a gentle stretch with some fluffy socks for a couple of hours around the house a few days before an event!).

⭐️ Give yourself enough time to shop for shoes before your big day so you have the time to try on with your dress and really commit to your choice.

⭐️ Remember to bring them to your final dress fitting!

A practical yet still pretty choice, the elbow-length veil is a great option if you want to keep with tradition but find a long trailing veil too heavy or distracting.

You’ll know when you try on the veil options whether you enjoy the longer veil types that we’ve covered before. As it’s described, the elbow length veil should sit roughly at the tips of your elbows, or meet with your lower back.

Depending on whether or not you want a face covering veil for the start of your ceremony will determine the tiers and positioning of your veil. Let our consultants guide your through the options and considerations so you can make an informed choice that feels right for you.

There is so much choice with necklaces for your wedding day, but you may already have something borrowed or sentimental that you’ve chosen for your special day 👰‍♀️

The most important thing is that it feels right for you. If you have special accessories we’d love you to bring these to your first consultation and the shape and type can inform the neckline and other elements of your overall bridal look 💫

Most brides however opt to go with dress first, accessories second. We stock a beautiful range of necklaces from the classical sweetheart drop necklaces to match a sweetheart neckline gown, to choker styles and even those with a backdrop to show off a beautiful backless gown.

Ultimately, your necklace should enhance your dress and work with your face shape. With our years of experience and carefully curated line of jewellery, we will help you find the perfect piece

Strapless and backless gowns are in high demand, particularly in the warmer months ☀️

With many neckline styles and shapes, a gown of this nature will draw attention to your face and decolletage.

This offers you the choice to wear a piece of statement jewellery with more prominence than a high neckline can offer.

Our bridal consultants can offer great advice on the best choice of necklaces and necklines to ensure a seamless look.

Some brides enjoy a long veil with a strapless or backless gown, adding a sheer layer that provides a hint of modesty. Our range of veils can be tried on during your consultation for you to discover what your preference is.

If weather and temperature is an uncertainty, many of our strapless gowns have add-on features such as cuffs or removable sleeves that can give you added coverage if you choose on the day, or simply switch up your style between day and night celebrations ✨

Nothing but elegance. The Morissette by Pronovias gives us Audrey Hepburn in Monaco vibes.

Full flowing satin with exceptional detail, the lustrous finish on this dress gives a gorgeous glowing effect, with a simple trailing train and simple back detail defining this simple but simply devine gown.

This dress can lend itself to any setting, and works with the simplest of styling but can also carry the effect of a detailed chapel veil.

Timeless sophistication from Pronovias. Available from Windsor and Eton Brides.

How happy and utterly beautiful does Hannah look? 😍

Hannah Clifford chose the Tiffany gown by Alan Hannah and styled it so perfectly, from the veil to the bouquet. Everything in her bridal look is just perfect 💫

We loved being part of your special day Hannah, thank you so much for sharing these images with us and for your kind words.

The Hampton’s by Pronovias has been a popular choice this year and it’s so easy to see why.

Every one of our brides who has chosen this beautiful gown looks incredible yet still individual, despite it being the same dress.

A well chosen dress should fit the character of the bride and theme for the day, allowing her (not the dress) to take centre stage.

This high-cut lace bodice with full sleeves is entirely romantic; of a touch of classic design with a sophisticated, contemporary twist.

We don’t like to choose favourites from our collections, but if we did, this one would be up there!

Possibly the most popular of the veil lengths, a chapel veil is the second longest after the cathedral and extends beyond the train on many wedding dresses.

The long fall of a sheer veil gives a romantic softness and elegance to your look, and allows the back detail of your dress more exposure.

As we described in our previous post about veils, the addition of a veil provides a beautiful accessory that enhances photos and perfects the bridal look.

Make sure your bridesmaids are on hand to position it in a trail for your walk up the aisle and in your photos!

We stock many veils and accessories, which your bridal consultant can take you through in your consultation.

Book in using the link in our bio, we love to talk veils!

“Nobody tells you quite how nervous you might be as you wait for your daughter on her wedding day, ready to walk her up the aisle to her husband-to-be. Truthfully, the moment I saw her, the nerves disappeared and my heart filled with pride. My beautiful girl, in the most stunning wedding dress. That is a moment I shall cherish forever.”

And this is why we love the tradition of keeping the dress a secret apart from a select few.

You won’t have many of these moments in life - enjoy them!

11/07/2024

If you’re looking to create maximum impact and dramatic effect with your look, then may we recommend you look no further than the cathedral length veil.

The cathedral length veil is the longest traditional veil, typically 3m from comb to tip, so unless you have a very long train, this will be the longest trailing point of your bridal outfit.

The dramatic trailing length requires little else to create a stunning effect, however, there are many cathedral veils with added detail to lift this accessory to even greater heights, particularly on the trailing quarter of the veil.

Simply stunning and suited to almost any look, a cathedral length veil is the ultimate in bridal attire.

Indulge and try one during your bridal consultation and tell us just how fabulous it feels!

“Dear Carla and the wonderful team at the Modiste,

I just wanted to write and say thank you for helping me find and fit my wedding dress.
We truly had the most wonderful day and everyone remarked at how beautiful both dresses were especially the Alan Hannah design.

I’ve attached a few pictures for you so you can see the dress in action and I’m really grateful for your kindness as I was so very nervous about it all.
Best wishes
Katherine xx”

Seeing our brides captured in moments of joy on their special day means so much to us, as do their kind words.

Thank you Katherine, it was an absolute pleasure to be such an important part of your special day!

Classic with a twist, the Hamptons collection from Pronovias delivers an unusual take on the classical A-line sillhouette.

This modern, stunning floral lace will wow (think Bridgerton vibes) but remain classic and elegant beyond any trend.

With the lace offering a high neckline and sleeves, rather than a heavy material, you’ll find even a summer heatwave comfortable in this beautiful gown.

The long cathedral train is accentuated by the keyhole design at the back, giving this dress a sophisticated yet sensual appeal.

Utterly divine and complete with or without a train. You simply must try it on!
