Glorious sunshine, a gentle breeze and a garden in full bloom — everything a bride hopes for when planning her English summer wedding. It’s a combination that will create stunning memories and photos to fondly look back on for years to come! However, there are elements that cannot be ‘ordered’ by the bride — the unpredictable Great British weather.
All Weather Dresses
With summer wedding dresses I recommend choosing a style that will work for you whatever the weather. A soft chiffon skirt with a delicate lace bodice is a style that never fails to look feminine and beautiful, rain or shine.
Perfect for a summer garden wedding, another look I love is Bella. Created with tiny 3D flowers that have been re-embroidered onto a lace bodice and flowing ball gown skirt, for me this wedding dress truly captures the essence of an English summer!
Accessorise to Personalise
Many brides love styling a simple wedding dress with a selection of accessories. This gives brides the opportunity to truly reflect their style and personality. When accessorising summer wedding dresses, why not add a light illusion tulle jacket for the day and then restyle with a sequin belt after the reception, ready to dance the night away? To retain a summer garden theme, ensure the accessories have floral elements in their design.
A summer wedding without doubt sets the tone for the bride’s wedding dress. However, summer wedding dresses should still reflect a bride’s personality and style, and be the dress of her dreams. There is nothing more beautiful than a happy, smiling bride!
