Читать книгу The High-Street Bride’s Guide: How to Plan Your Perfect Wedding On A Budget - Samantha Birch - Страница 55

If you’re dreaming of a white wedding, walk away now – Viv’s statement, out-there Anglomania collection is for high-fashion brides with a kink in their style. I’ve seen a short-sleeved, knee-length purple number for £435 at Net-a-Porter, while a brocade-print piece with deceptively structured slouchy collar was £345. The collection can also be good for brides who favour the two-piece look – there was a time when you could supply the skirt and Westwood did a romantic red off-the-shoulder top to go with it for £300.

Diane von Furstenberg and Temperley occasionally have the odd short, white, lacy number for under £500, but for the most part the gorgeous gowns outside their out-of-reach bridal collection aren’t so aisle-friendly.

Best for: Laidback, fashion-forward registry office dos. However gorgeous, these looks will get lost in a massive, high-ceilinged or cathedral-type venue, but they’re just right in a more intimate setting, where they’ll let your natural beauty do the talking.
