Autumn is officially upon us; as well as being a beautiful time of year in the natural world, autumn is a great alternative to the height of wedding season, which runs from May to October in the UK.
There are many reasons why you may have decided to tie the knot in autumn and we’ll let The Wedding Secret explain more about why autumn is one of the best times to say “I do”:
“Autumn weddings automatically conjure up images of beautiful crisp golden evenings, with colour perfect for creating an exquisite backdrop. If you are planning a wedding in a venue with a big garden, this is a fantastic season as you can make use of the setting to create some magnificent photos. Autumn weddings work wonderfully with dark rich colours such as deep purple, and will also be a great season for a rustic wedding.”
In addition to providing a fabulous backdrop for your wedding photos, the season also offers its fair share of wedding dress inspiration. In this blog post, we explore this season’s top bridalwear trends and designs.
Dare to bare with cut-outs
Cut-out wedding dresses are far from risqué. They can provide a modern twist on the classic gown and exude the femininity that will dress your shape to perfection.
Teaming a cut-out design with embellishment in just the right places can add glitz and glamour to your wedding day style. Many cut-out styles ensure tasteful looks that will remain modern even when you look back on this big fashion moment years later.
Add colour to your aisle style
Colourful wedding gowns don’t have to be bold or bright. Whilst choosing a coloured dress offers the break from a tradition many autumn brides crave, selecting an understated hue will keep your bridalwear choice truly timeless.
Beige and blush pink wedding dresses are particularly fitting for the autumn season. These dreamy, subtle, soft tones provide different looks for brides wanting to complement that delightfully rustic autumn backdrop.
Square up your dress neckline
As you’ll discover when shopping for your dress, there’s more than just the style and cut to ponder. The neckline of your wedding dress should also be considered carefully during your hunt for the perfect gown.
Whilst you’re certain to come across an abundance of scoop, v, bateau, strapless, sweetheart and cowl necklines, designs with square necks should be getting your attention this season.
Square necklines were featured up and down runways at Bridal Fashion Weeks around the world. They provide a sophisticated, stylish alternative when featured on embellished, minimalist, traditional and floral dress designs.
Bridal suits are back and chicer than ever
Who said your wedding outfit had to be a dress? Bridal suits and separates are huge news this autumn. As well as providing the coverage you need to do your autumn wedding your way, this bridalwear alternative is as chic as it gets.
When choosing a bridal suit or separates for your special day, remember, being unforgettably fabulous doesn’t mean saying goodbye to tradition completely.
Keep your suit or separates timeless with a cut and colour that reflects the bride inside. Whether going voluminous or figure-hugging, ensure the shape and style you choose work for your silhouette. Make sure your choice of fabric is just as elegant to add a touch of class to this non-traditional ensemble.
