Bridal Trends

Art Deco designs continue to influence bridal fashion – notably the geometric Deco wave pattern which appeared in various forms and interpretations on the catwalks.Delicate, dainty accessories tend to be overwhelmed by this style – real Deco Darlings should go for confident, bold, stand out pieces that reflect their inner 1920s goddess!

No longer enough to look good from the front, many designers have now placed a greater emphasis on how brides look from behind – thanks to a multitude of transparent lace appliques, draping necklines and backless numbers.A delicate backdrop necklace adds the perfect final touch to this sensuous bridal look.

Frou frou feathers added drama to many designer gowns – think languid trails of floating peacock feathers – the must have embellishment of the moment. Continue the theme with one of our many feathered hair accessories to add a little drama.

Slashed-to-the-navel necklines give plenty of room for long 30s styles pendants or lariat necklaces.More daring brides could just simply use the decollete as the canvas for a sparkling show stopper (Old Hollywood styles are great for added pizzazz!)

Hints of blush and antique gold continue to add a warm glow to new designs. Check out our new range of rose gold accessories (here) along with classic yellow gold sparklies.

Soft tonal pastel shades of taupe, gold and palest pink continue to gather favour on the international bridal catwalks. Gilt or gold accessories will complement the warmth in these shades beautifully.
