29 Real Brides who Looked Phenomenal in Trousers and Jumpsuits

Not sold on the idea of a big white dress? No problem!

Whether it's a figure-hugging jumpsuit, a fashion-forward top-and-trouser combo, or a sharp two-piece suit, there's something effortlessly cool about bridal trousers. That's why, today, we're delighted to be delivering some swoon-worthy bridal inspiration, via some real brides who dared to think a little outside the box. From super-feminine jumpsuits with dramatic lace overskirts, to neat suits that let the accessories do the talking, these are our favourite looks in the bridal trousers department. Hey, if it's good enough for Solange Knowles, Amal Clooney, and Bianca Jagger, it's good enough for us!
