Getting married soon? You’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re after a traditional wedding dress, a party dress, something a bit more alternative or bridal accessories, you’ll find everything you need – and more – on Oxford Street.
Traditional wedding dresses
Shopping for a wedding dress can be overwhelming, there is just so much choice these days. But when in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a traditional wedding dress, and the good news is you don’t have to have a £2k budget to own one. You’ll look striking and timeless in this fishtail gown from Reiss, lace dress or embellished gown from John Lewis, and tulle gown or satin dress from Selfridges.
Civil ceremony dresses
More and more couples opt for a low-key civil ceremony at their local Town Hall, before jetting off to a second, bigger wedding abroad. With that in mind, brides often look for a more casual or fun dress that still feels bridal but doesn’t take away from the main event. Think vintage-inspired slip dresses, mini dresses or jumpsuits. Don’t feel like you need to stick to white either, variations of cream or blush are great too.
Wedding party dresses
If you can’t go all out on the dance floor at your own wedding, when can you? This is the opportunity to have fun with sequins, feathers, bows and everything in between. Length is key as well, a mini or knee-length style with a wide skirt will ensure your legs are free to bust out your best dance moves.
Alternative wedding dresses
You don’t need to go down the traditional route to look the part when you walk down the aisle. If ballgowns aren’t your thing, you could opt for a chic jumpsuit or suit, and in the same vein, if you aren’t into white dresses, you can try pale blushes, or even a pop of colour. We love this wide-leg jumpsuit from Reiss’ premium line, Atelier, this embellished pink wrap dress from M&S, this mini suit dress from Selfridges, cream 3D floral dress from River Island and white suit from Reserved.
Bridal accessories
The devil’s in the detail when it comes to your bridal wear, and in this case, the devil’s the accessories. Think lingerie, bags, veils, headbands, bags, jewellery and anything else that will add that special finishing touch. Try Pandora’s baroque pearl necklace, House of CB’s tulle and satin veil, Boux Avenue’s lace bra, Matalan’s silver bow clutch and crystal floral headband from Selfridges.
Wedding shoes
Don’t underestimate the power of a good shoe. You might not see it all the time if you’re wearing a long wedding dress, but you still want to be comfortable and stylish. You can opt for classic white satin pumps, though they may be harder to rewear down the line, so why not go for something silver or gold instead, which will go with most bridal gowns? You might also want to consider some pretty flats for the dance floor too. No one wants to end their wedding day with blisters!
