There's been a distinct return to glamour among the wedding dress designers of late, as we've seen gorgeous beading, intricate embellishment and detailing to die for, and the wedding dress collection we feature today epitomises all of that gorgeousness. Eliza Jane Howell's wedding gowns is inspired by by-gone eras of utter glamour and vintage style. Each beautifully draped dress shimmers with embellishment.  Think 1930s slinky evening gowns with a dose of extra glamour.  These are wedding dresses to make a statement and we LOVE them...

While all of the designs carry more than a hint of old school glamour, the beauty of the Eliza Jane Howell designs is that they could be styled to be more modern glam or era-inspired depending on the bride's individual tastes. So if you're dying to break out the Art Deco jewellery and finger waved hair, then these would be perfect, while equally for ladies thinking more classic bridal with an edge, the chignon and subtle accessories of a modern bride would work perfectly too.

The embellishment is intricate and varying from subtle pale beading to more opulent gold and silver. What many brides will love about these dresses are the ultra flattering neck lines and use of dainty sleeves. It's no secret strapless dresses aren't for everyone and these are just some of the beautiful alternative options.

How pretty and elegant is this deep V necked dress with glittering details and a perfectly romantic soft skirt? It's a personal favourite of mine.
