THE WEDDING DRESS TRENDS ON OUR RADAR
By BRIDAL EDITOR
Are you a fashion-forward bride driven by wedding dress trends? Or simply just happy to know you’ve hit some serious style notes on your way to finding ‘the one’? Either way, our new guest blogger and industry expert, Sarah Tippett (Founder of Bridal Editor) picks apart the wedding dress trends threaded throughout UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s debut collection.
Regardless of whether you were swept up in the industry’s love affair with pearls, developed an acute obsession with organza or allowed for a rather intense preoccupation with shorter hemlines to flourish, this 2023 saw a flurry of wedding dress trends wield their way onto our radar and, consequently, into our wedding wardrobes. If it was all three (and I can unabashedly confirm that I certainly was), I don’t blame you. Luckily for you, the arrival of UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s hard-working, beautifully crafted, multi-functional debut collection rolls onto the scene with a tasteful smattering of all three of those coveted wedding dress trends (and more) rising tantalisingly throughout.
#1 The Square Neckline
The emergence of the sharply executed square neckline is a wedding dress trend I felt modern brides immediately fell for - hook, line and sinker. And, with the arrival of UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s beautifully structured design, CORA, it’s a trend that proves itself to be not only stylishly alluring, but rather timeless too. Paired with CORA’s elegant, tiered waist design, this clean, simple neckline works sublimely against the fullness of her hourglass silhouette.
#2 The Bridal Bow
The flourish that comes with a bow, be it big or small, is something many a bride covets. So, why not pair the sublime lines of UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s CORA gown with the label’s detachable statement double satin shoulder bow? Not only will the CORA BOW immediately elevate your look, whilst simultaneously bringing a softer, more playful vibe to the table, it can also be paired with the label’s other double satin gowns, MILA and LYRA.
#3 Sheer Delight
There’s just something rather mesmerising and beautifully romantic about a sheer layer and, especially so, when it comes to UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s CLARA BRIDAL GOWN and EMMIE ORGANZA TOP . Not only is this pairing a match made in bridal heaven, it’s a combination that brings a truly dynamic silhouette to the floor for the modern bride. My love for dramatic sleeves also falls into the trend mix here, with EMMIE’s gathered organza sleeves softly ballooning into a gorgeous frilled elbow-length cuff. And, the fact that you’ve got two bridal looks in one, is no accident. It’s a key part of UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s brand DNA.
#4 Make It A Mini
2023’s love affair with the bridal mini isn’t going anywhere, and luckily for you, UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s elegant short wedding dress, LYRA effortlessly taps into this wedding dress trend. Created from a truly dreamy double satin with a gorgeous dropwaist, not only does she boast a playful spirit but a removable neck tie for multiple styling options. Genius! And, that shorter hemline? Why, it’s perfect for showing off your dream wedding shoes..
#5 Pearls Pearls Pearls!
The shimmering allure of the pearl continues to bewitch many a bride, and UNBRIDLED STUDIO’s unique LILY PEARL COLLAR is no different. Hand-crafted utilising a traditional macrame-style embroidery technique, this hardworking, covetable accessory will not only bring an inspired twist to your bridal look on the big day itself, but to your everyday wardrobe post-wedding too. The ideal layering piece, it can be added to any ensemble, instantly transforming it into something many a bride will adore.
