Wedding Dress
Congratulations, you found that dream person you want to spend the rest of your life with! Now it's time to find your dream wedding dress - and say yes to the dress.
In this blog, we'll help you discover everything you need to know to ensure you find the perfect wedding dress for your big day, from dreamy destination wedding dresses and classic styles for second weddings to the best choices for celebrating curvy brides and everything in between. After all, we've been dressing brides for over 70 years.
The best place to start…
Regardless of age, wedding location, season or body shape, every bride-to-be needs to know her silhouettes to understand which is the best fit for her. So, if you don't know your fishtail dress from your fit and flare, our comprehensive guide to wedding dress silhouettes will help to bring you up to speed. Discover what each silhouette looks like and, most importantly, which will suit your body shape before you take a trip to the bridal boutiques. From here on you can start to consider necklines, sleeves and fabrics.
For the older bride, or even second weddings where you want a more demure look, be sure to read our blog on dresses for the older bride and why feedback tells us she loves our Ronald Joyce Bridalwear collection's classic tailoring, longer sleeves and quality linings.
In a hurry?
If you need to find a wedding dress quickly, our blog features on our quick delivery wedding dresses will have you feel at ease about finding your dream dress at short notice.
Small and intimate
With small and intimate ceremonies becoming more and more popular, we also give you a rundown of our most popular wedding dresses for small and intimate ceremonies, whether it be a church, town hall or garden wedding.
Day and night
If you're looking to take your wedding dress from day to night, we have just the blog for you on simple ways to create two looks for your big day without the need for an awkward (and expensive) outfit change using overskirts, accessories and make up.
Steal their style
If you're anything like us, you'll love seeing dresses on real brides to get a feel of what they could look like on you. Thankfully, we've scoured our archives to bring you a wide selection of stories on our beautiful real brides.
And, if you choose to get married abroad, there's a blog on destination wedding dresses, detailing why you want to avoid layers and heavy fabrics and what wedding dresses are perfect for packing.
You can also find advice on choosing the perfect bridal shoes and why it's important to consider the venue to avoid any mishaps - we've all witnessed someone trying to walk on grass and sand in stilettos.
We've even teamed up to bring you our list of things to consider before you go wedding dress shopping to ensure you get the most of your trip to the bridal stores.
In fact, we love wedding dresses so much that we've written a blog on the evolution of the wedding dress over the past 100 years so you can see how it's evolved over the decades and where the fashion for the long white dress originates.
Let's find the one!
