As a bride, your wedding dress is your choice. Many of today’s brides follow the ‘bigger is better’ motto. Gowns are glamorously adorned with beads, feathers, tulle and lace to create a dramatic and dynamic finish. But many others are more attracted to the simple side of life.

If you’re not one for flounces and fancies, a minimalist dress might just be the one for you. Clean lines and simplistic designs allow focus to be on the bride rather than the outfit.

Take inspiration from these understated yet bold gowns.

Accessories are the final cherry on top of the cake. From jewellery to hair accessories, there are a host of additions that can be made to complete your final bridal look.

Personalised bridal jackets have been trending for a few years now, most famously worn by Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West.

Wifey:

Till death:

Have a physical reminder of your vows by emblazoning ’til death” on your bridal jacket.

 

 

Babe:

Not one for official titles? Go with a cute nickname like ‘babe’.

 

Wife of the party:

Remind everyone that it’s your day with a jacket screaming ‘wife of the party’, or ‘bride’.

 

 

Get sappy:

Once you’ve found your person, everything falls into place. Let them know how you feel with a jacket with ‘it was always you’ written across it, or let them know you’ve found your happily ever after.

The month of October is spooky season because of the popular holiday Halloween, and some Halloween fans are taking their love for this spooky holiday to the next level.

If you’re a big Halloween fan, here is some inspiration to throw your own Halloween-themed wedding.

Fashion:
Black dresses go well with a Halloween wedding theme. Think black lace and tulle for an edgy yet romantic finish. Princess cuts give a traditional look, but the black fabric still makes it spooky. It’s a perfect juxtaposition for Halloween.

Decor:
Decor truly pulls a wedding together. Make use of lots of fabric like mesh, tulle and velvet, as well as candles and dried/dead flowers to create a dark and spooky yet elegant atmosphere. Gold finishes provide an antique look perfect for Halloween. Add fake skulls and dried twigs to complete the look.
