I have a feeling myself and Australian designer Rachel Gilbert would get along. Every one of her bridal designs are so good damn good, whether short and slick or long and embellished it's (almost) impossible to chose a favourite. Rachel Gilbert's 2014 Fall Bridal Collection is consistently slick, modern and simply stylish yet every dress has it's own distinct style and each one would flatter a large range.

Keeping to a tailored silhouette Rachel Gilbert adds depth and interest with modern detailing with heavy use of peplums, sheer accents and contemporary use of embellishment. The combination of opalescent glitter and hexagonal sheer on the Liberty Gown below is  so pretty in a clean and subtle way.

These dresses would work beauitfully as a wedding dress or if your keen to emulate the current bridesmaids in white trend lots of Rachel Gilbert's collection could be an option, and if your lucky enough to don the red carpet (or swanky ball) a Rachel Gilbert design won't fail to get you all the right attention.

Designing high end dresses since 2007 Rachel Gilbert's style is refreshing with elements you might not naturally associate with bridal, such as sheer skirt overlays, high necklines and almost sporty vibes in the structured Sansa wedding dress -  once again bang on trend.

Love Rachel's designs as much as me? They're available to order online from www.rachelgilbert.com or if you're one of those emigres living in Australia you'll have no problem getting your hands on them. Over this side of the world some of Rachel Gilbert's designs are for rental in Dublin at Covet as well as Frock N Fabulous and The Ivory Closet in Limerick, or to buy in Harrods and Fenwick in London.
