We’re quite partial to the classic elegance of embroidered wedding dresses, but if you’re longing for drama for your big day, there’s a truly fabulous way to step this look up a notch. Enter multicoloured floral embroidery, an ever-so-slightly flamboyant trend that sees bright florals applied to white, ivory, nude or blush fabrics. This look is perfect for brides who are tempted by the idea of wearing colour, but don’t want to stray too far from tradition. It’s also really well-suited to boho dressers who want to channel their laid-back everyday style but still want to feel show-stoppingly special in their wedding outfit!
Embroidered Wedding Dresses
Brands known for this kind of intricate embroidery include Temperley, Hermione de Paula, Claire Pettibone Couture, Needle and Thread and Temperley, but the look can really be as subtle or as outrageous as you like, and doesn't have to cost a fortune if you find the right label! And as always, our recommended boutiques are able to guide you toward the right trends for you, and even give tips on how to style them! In the meantime, we couldn’t resist rounding up a few of our favourite embellished wedding dresses, which will hopefully spark some ideas for your search...
