5 new wedding dress trends for millennial brides, according to Jenny Packham
While outfit-planning for your wedding day - aka buying the dress - may be the one time you're entirely uninterested in trends, it's inevitable that when one of the world's most well-respected bridal designers showcases a new collection, there's a ripple effect within the industry.
So, when Jenny Packham unveiled her latest vision this week during a breathtaking presentation at The Ritz in front of a whole host of buyers, fashion editors and celebrities, all eyes - particularly those of the fiancées in the room - were focussed firmly on the collection.
We round up the stand-out trends that brides-to-be may begin to see everywhere next season...
SHOULDER DRAPING
A high-impact dress doesn't necessarily require a risqué cut. If you're keen to keep your décolletage or arms relatively under wraps, sheer drapes of fabric are an elegant, flattering way to conceal.
BLUE ACCENTS
If you've got 'something old', 'something new', and 'something borrowed' sorted but are struggling to find 'something blue', a ribbon belt or floral headband is a perfect way to subtly include the hue.
UNFUSSY DETAILS
If you're not into the glitz and glam of the high octane weddings on your Instagram feed, there's nothing wrong with a bit of simplicity. Elegant, sleek shapes with only the faintest hint of embellishment are sometimes all the more impactful for it.
SEQUIN & SPARKLE
...however, if you are into said glitz and glam then don't hold back. Even some of the chicest gowns go full-throttle on the embellishment.
JUMPSUITS
If you've shopped all the wedding dresses in the world and not found the one, there's no suggesting that trousers are out of the question. Or, more specifically, jumpsuits. Sleek silk or heavy embellishment work in equal measure.
