National Wedding Show 2011

Channel Grease at your retro wedding with Candy Anthony, be the blushing (but style-savvy) bride with Jonathan James, or keep your city-slicker cool with Sottero & Midgley; all as seen on the National Wedding Show catwalk 2011…

Candy Anthony

Make fun your motto at your quirky big day in this playful Fifties polka-dot wedding dress. Those offbeat dots will raise a smile from the minute you make your entrance, while that big frothy skirt and bow cover up your tum and slim your waist. Add a pop of cheeky colour with bright red heels and a shiny red side-worn hair flower; or rock super-girlie retro-cute with a cherry necklace or earrings.

Justin Alexander

Drama-queen brides, make your aisle your stage with this theatrical black-flooded, knee-high-split bridal gown. Stay city-chic with minimal accessories in glossy monochrome shades, or top with a side-worn, wide-brimmed black hat for a real scene-stealing entrance.

Sottero & Midgley

Go to town on the classic floral bridal gown with this ultra-modern, city-chic revamp. Ruffles and froth are slicked back into a bold, fresh graphic pattern – contemporary-cool for funky avant-garde venues – with just one frill left on the under-bust sash; keeping eyes up-top and off your tum. Ceramic, silver and mother-of-pearl accessories will keep the look sleek, while out-there angular bracelets and earrings up the edge.

Ellie & Charlotte

Make like an A-lister at your movie-inspired wedding in this red-carpet-worthy wedding dress; add instant height with that empire line and let the bodice twist enhance smaller busts. Channel Sex and the City with crystal-encrusted platforms and a cocktail-glass-pendant necklace; or go all-out Notting Hill and say ‘I do’ at the Savoy or the Ritz.

Jonathan James

Fashion-forward English-rose brides, quit your catwalk-trawling for this so-now blush pink, flowered wedding dress. Soft hues were hot news on the latest bridal runways, and those rosy neck and hip details are a girlie-girl’s best friend; wear it with long, flowing locks at your boho field reception, or with a loose half-up-do for semi-formal elegance.

Jenny Packham

Ooze laidback glamour on your far-flung beach aisle in this loose-yet-glitzy wedding dress. That classy cowl-neck will add detail to a smaller bust or elegantly celebrate a larger one, while that stunning gem-covered sash will both define and cinch your waist. Ramp up the sparkle with a side-worn crystal and pearl-encrusted Twenties headpiece, or work exotic wonder with gold chandelier earrings and stacks of spangly bangles.

Kosibah

Kick back in embellished flip-flops and layered-up gold charm bracelets for your farmland or luxe-tepee reception; relaxed Romany glamour is the mood of the moment in this one-shoulder, floor-sweeping wedding dress. That sheeny hip-sash draws eyes down from your tum but frames your waist, while a tousled half-up-do looks natural and effortless.
