Your wedding dress is the centrepiece of your whole celebration so it has to work with your theme. So we asked the experts at Impression Bridal to pick 8 of their best new gowns to complement 2014’s hottest wedding looks and here’s what they’ve come up with…
Best for… Blush theme
Statement wedding dresses don’t come much better than this! Style 10211 from the latest Impression collection has a dramatic laser cut swirl and flower design and the tulle overlay can be ivory or rose gold as pictured here. The latter shade would be perfect for a blush theme – this year’s hottest bridal shade.
Best for… Vintage theme
Style 10230 is a beautiful trumpet-shaped slipper satin dress with beaded illusion, sweetheart neckline – one of the most flattering styles around. Your natural curves and waistline will be accentuated by the clever pleats and ruching here, with further shape dramatized at the knee with a fabric pinch.
Best for… Fairytale theme
A romantic ballgown perfect for a fairytale theme, style 10234 from Impression is easy to wear and flattering for any bride. Dramatic embroidery can stand out in rich Antique Gold as pictured here or in all ivory for the more conventional bride. This colour is also ideal for an autumnal celebration.
Best for… Glamorous theme
For brides who want to make a statement in lace, Amanda by Cristiano Lucci is the perfect choice. The dramatic fit-and-flare shape and the flattering sweetheart neckline work perfectly together to create the ultimate bridal silhouette. Intricately beaded straps and an illusion back amp up the glamour even further!
Best for… Floral theme
Vanessa by Cristiano Lucci is a sophisticated wedding dress with lots of modern, floral-inspired touches. Elegantly shaped with beading encrusted cap sleeves and a sultry open back,. this design would work well at a high-summer celebration.
Best for… Traditional theme
Cristiano Lucci’s Gwyneth design is a vintage lace fit and flare gown with keyhole back and three-quarter length sleeves, making it perfect for a traditional church celebration or a classic bridal theme. For brides looking for romance and tradition in the form of lace and sleeves, this gown has it but with added sex appeal in the form of plunging illusion neckline and exposed back.
Best for… Country Garden theme
Style 50241 by Davinci is a real box ticker for modern brides. This lace trumpet gown boasts a sheer illusion top and back plus a feminine chapel length train. This is a dress that epitomises what real brides are asking for right now and works wonderfully for a country garden theme.
