French Connection has just launched wedding dresses and they are FAB
Perfect for brides on a budget
Perfect for brides on a budget
Forget designer dresses, these days, it's all about high street wedding dresses, thanks to the likes of ASOS, Whistles and Needle & Thread bringing the A game to the bridal party.
Now French Connection is the latest store to offer a wedding collection, and it was worth the wait. The Spring ‘18 line is a capsule of delicate gowns with a modern twist, for brides who don't necessarily want a traditional ballgown.
Think full length boho-inspired gowns with romantic voluminous sleeves, timeless designs featuring intricately hand-embellished bodices and flowing full length skirts.
For the contemporary bride or perhaps an evening outfit change, the brand has designed two alternative looks; the full length lace trouser worn with feminine pussy-bow blouse is particularly cool, whilst the lace twinset top and culottes is perfect for a city wedding.
There are also some fab bridesmaids dresses to complement the bride, from colourful floral embroidery to ethereal beaded blossoms that add a subtle touch of sparkle to the day. We're in love.
The collection is available to pre-order now, with prices starting at just £65 for the patched shirt. Shop it below...
