Keep it Civil Sister …

For some the idea of their ‘Dream Wedding’ has dramatically changed over the last 18 months. Whether you’ve always envisioned a small and intimate celebration or you’ve been forced to downsize your big day due to the pandemic, there’s no reason you need to skimp on style.

A rise in elopement style weddings has lead to an expansion in many designers collections. Not only are we seeing ‘Civil’ collections but Midi dresses, Jumpsuits and silk slips are becoming staple pieces in designers’ current repertoire. With the abundance of quality Bridal wear being released you can certainly ‘have your cake and eat it too’.

Bold accessories paired with sophisticated, modern everyday wear turned bridal wear is leading to more brides choosing pieces that potentially can be worn again after the big day. Take the Bardot Jumpsuit from Karen Willis Holmes, you’ll be able to dance the night away in this number! If the weather is chilly pair with a faux fur coat and some killer heels for a truly iconic bridal look.

The Eleventh silk slip gown from Oui the label is what Balmy summer night dreams are made of. Proving that brides can go from cocktails by the pool to barefoot down the aisle in a split second. If festival vibes are more your style the stunning Bridget Topper from Anna Campbell Bridal has us swooning. This Chic embellished piece still has a bohemian feel that allows a bride full versatility. Pair it with one of Anna Campbell’s stunning skirts, or for a relaxed post wedding celebration a pair of flowing pants.

Elopements and Civil wedding celebrations don’t have to be ‘casual’ as a couple you have the power to make it as dramatic or as laid back as your heart desires. One things for sure Style certainly doesn’t have to be cancelled.
