You’ve seen the designer dresses on catwalks and in magazines, but the question on everyone’s lips is  “how will that look on real women?”  This is why we’ve created a collection of our favourite real brides wearing your favourite designers. Take a peek and be inspired!

Sam wore Justin Alexander

Sam says: “I spotted ‘my dress’ hanging shorter than all the others. My Mum wasn’t too sure about the length as I think she imagined a BIG white wedding dress. I had to try it on just to see, as soon as I came out of the changing room everyone turned and “aww’d”.

Stylist: We love Sam’s Justin Alexander dress, the feminine floral lace detail with beads working its way from the bodice to the skirt is beautiful and the full circle tea-length skirt compliments her personality. The delicate pearl accessories add the perfect final touch. 

Lucy wore Jenny Packham

Her figure compliments the style of the dress, you don’t need to heavily accessories a Jenny Packham dress which is exactly what our bride did, a simple art deco bracelet and vintage brooch bouquet did the trick.

Lynn says: ” I tried on this Ian Stuart design and it was amazing. I felt like one of the fairytale princesses I had on my wallpaper as a little girl, ones I used to gaze at while falling into a dreamy sleep. I tried a few others, but went back to my Ian Stuart a month later.”

Stylist:  This amazing vintage inspired dress is undoubtedly Ian Stuart. The fitted bodice with lace embellished with sequins and beads flatters Lynn’s beautiful figure. The perfect choice for our bride.

Laura wore Justin Alexandra

Laura says: The one I chose stood out from the start.  I tried on about 5 or 6 other dresses but none compared to the Justin Alexandra dress I had already chosen.  My mum, auntie, cousin and sisters were all moved when I came out in my dress. They were all in agreement that it was ‘the one’.

Stylist: From the first picture you can see why our Laura fell in love with this dress. This figure hugging gown demands attention and makes our bride look every inch a glamour goddess.
