The name says it all, folks. For this shoot, that first featured in Issue 26 of Hello May, we were channelling all the chickadees who can’t get enough tulle, ladies who lust over pearls and gals with boundless love for champagne tones. If you are enchanted by whimsical floral capes and peachy slingbacks then this is the roundup for you.
Those brides fond of coloured gowns will be pleased to discover a number of gem-toned beauties from burnt orange to gold and every delightful shade in between. We even have one lovely lilac number, sprinkled in polka dots, from Alca Line Bride.
For those brides considering a custom gown, we recommend scrolling down to Christie Nicole Bridal’s one-sleeved wonder to get a taste for couture. Prea James Bridal delivers sprinklings of sparkle whilst Goddess by Nature nails sheer. Those channelling femme, but after a more simple take, best check out Karen Willis Holmes’ Caroline Gown. Boasting the sweetheart neckline of your dreams, this babe is also feisty with one delightful front skirt split.
After some wedding day jewels? We have also included a range of sparkly goods from a selection of our faves including Krystle Knight Jewellery, Grew & Co, Meadowlark and Amelie George Bridal.
