Matches Fashion have dropped a party edit and it’s every modern bride’s dream

Congrats! You’re engaged. But what the hell next? Well - once your venue is sorted and your bridal party chosen, selecting a wedding dress is probably a good place to start.

That said, traipsing around bridal boutiques can be a bit of a minefield. Said boutiques are often missing unique, trend-led pieces which the modern bride would actually want to wear. And if your wedding extends to a two or three-day celebration (as many do, these days), it can be a struggle to find a plethora of outfits to suit. Where are the wedding jumpsuits and the bridal separates at???

Luckily for all you brides-to-be, matchesfashion.com has come to the rescue just in time for your big day. Well, the brand’s fashion and buying director Natalie Kingham has, to be exact. She wanted the modern bride to be able to shop pieces which weren’t exactly traditional, but that appealed to her love of fashion and that could be worn again after the wedding. In short, she wanted to create a bridal fashion collection where the emphasis is on fashion.

With that in mind, she worked to create "The Wedding Edit”: a capsule collection of all-white bespoke pieces commissioned from Kingham’s favourite designers. It transpires that the modern bride is now after feathers, puffed-tulle sleeves, crystal-embellished satin and silhouettes with serious structure. And we’re here for it. Oh, and it’s also worth mentioning that most of these pieces actually work out cheaper than the dresses found in traditional designer bridal boutiques, do, so are worth some serious consideration.
