It’s about time that we acknowledged the joy of bridal attire that allows some serious carb consumption alongside solid sneaker pairing. Cue the casually glamorous bride. Think old skool vans, jumpsuits and free-flowing bobs. Friends, we don’t know about you but we are here for it.
The looks are clean and the sneakers even cleaner in this shoot that first featured in Issue 24. For those brides with bobs, this shoot offers up some serious inspo whilst the dewey make-up looks compliment the simplicity of each number. Shout out to Lei Tai at The Future Mrs for some stunning hair and makeup.
There is something for every bride here. If florals are your thing we have selected a few gowns that boast chic simplicity. Do yourself a favour and take a squiz at the Violet Gown by Karen Willis Holmes or the gorgeous Prea James strappy confection below. For those brides out there that are on the fence about pairing a gown with sneakers let this sassy shoot help you decide. Shot by the talented Jack Steel, the minimalist shoot speaks for itself.
For the no-fuss bride, scroll down to the Alyssa Kristin Amelia Gown that oozes sleek style. Those brides seeking to stun with a minimalist style would do well to take note of Alice Mcall’s silky beige number, which would make for a cracking reception dress. The backless Forever Gown (from The Bridal Atelier) makes for a sensual yet sophisticated look.
A seriously feisty jumpsuit by Moira Hughes has our hearts beating (and not just from the potential moves you could pull on the d-floor). And for the bride seeking structure with a side of floral glam the Darcy Dress by Alaca Line Bride is a winner. For something a little different, scroll down to the Jacinta James silky skirt and top combo that promises seriously comfortable digs.
