Bridal Collective
Olani from Blue by Enzoani

Olani, from Blue by Enozani, holds a delicate and sexy illusion lace back and V-neckline, adorned with beautiful floral embroidered lace which flows down to the organza, glitter tulle and tulle skirt. The gown sparkles and shines at every turn, creating the most heavenly effect that is sure to turn heads on the big day. The floral lace appliques that are visible throughout the A-line skirt add a playful beauty to this gorgeous gown.
Justin Alexander
Estelle 88261

A clean and crisp design; Estelle is a fashionable take on the minimalistic dress trend. This luxurious Mikado A-line wedding gown features a stylised strapless neckline that is accentuated with asymmetric pleating. A matching bow on the train adds a unique design detail that instantly creates a perfect bustle. The bow conceals buttons that attach at the waist which allow the dress to fold in on itself to eliminate the train meaning the bride can seamlessly adapt her dress throughout the day and night for comfort and style. The gown is finished with pockets and Mikado covered buttons that run to the end of the chapel length train. This dress perfectly captures the idea behind both the Fall/Winter 2022 collection and the brand as a whole. It’s the perfect balance between classic and modern, timeless and contemporary- both elevated and fresh, it is where Old Hollywood meets 2022.
Pronovias
Hopkins by Pronovias Privée

Inspired by blooming flower fields, Hopkins is the essence of feminine sensuality. This youthful wedding dress is made of soft and summery field-of-flowers embroidered tulle, and features a strapless sweetheart neckline and a court train. The fine beading detail around the neckline and fixed belt provide a real wow factor. This dress has been designed to provide support and comfort in the most romantic style with the princess sillouette, inner boning construction and fitted cups. Hopkins is such a popular style that it is offered in three customisations to the original design: with an extended train of 20 inches, with a V-neck and backline, and with a closed front with detachable straps. This stunning dress is available in UK sizes 2-34, and in multiple colours.

Harlem, by Maggie Sottero, is an ultra-lightweight, off-the-shoulder fairytale wedding gown, with personalization options to truly make your dream dress a reality. To make this style your own, you can change a layer of plain tulle in the skirt to sparkle tulle for a little more glam, or opt to have the bodice lined if you want the dress to be a little more modest.
