Festival Wedding dress trends advice from Surrey Bridalwear Boutique owner, Hannah.

 Written by: Hannah Mac Lennan,  BRIDE by Aster – Bridal Boutique,  Dorking, Surrey

Festival brides are in for a treat with designers 2019 collections of gowns being released ready for the next wave of trends so delicious, they must be fattening!

Bridal fashion week was somewhat of an obvious nod to the upcoming royal wedding with tiaras galore and Victorian high necks and long sleeves (blended with the super sexy trend of plunging necklines and sheer bodices and backs).

Never fear bohemian beauties; we have three sure fire ways to interpret next years hottest trends into your gorgeous gowns and accessories that are less Viva La Royals and more Va Va Voom!

Forget the Tiara – Wear a Crown of Flowers

Floral crowns are a gorgeous way to incorporate a regal feel to your bridal style. Opt for pretty pastel daisy chains to weave amongst your locks, or over the top crowns of full blooms to perch atop your royal head.

High Necks – Low Backs

Victorian era inspiration is creeping in to next years’ Surrey Bridalwear Boutique gown inspo so watch out for high necks and fitted long sleeves with emblems and pattern fit for a royal. Forget that rigid ‘queenly’ approach to your bridal search and look for flowing sleeves that float and billow in the wind. A beautiful and ethereal play on fashionable fitted sleeves.

High necks – sure….but high backs too? Far too covered for an ‘au natural’ celebration! Stick with a high neck to maintain the boho vibe but why not opt for a dress that exposes your gorgeous back? A nod to the new princess-to-be with a cheeky wink to the prince! 😉

Clean, Simple…with a Splash of Colour

Hot off the runway are slinky silhouettes and super feminine fits. Think elegant bridal nightgowns! Ultra stripped back and unfussy. Then mix in pink or lavender…

Colour is making a come back next season and in a big way. Blush, champagne, lavender and smoky oyster are all on the menu, so be bold with your colour choices.

If you think a simple and elegant gown won’t work with your ‘weddington’ boots, bring in colour and add applique florals to add a splash of nature to your dress. Not brave enough to wear a coloured frock? Decorate your attire with a Surrey Bridalwear Boutique stunning veil – think Joseph and his technicolour dreamcoat as a veil designer – the sky is truly the limit!
