High Street Honey: Phase Eight Wedding Dress Collection 2013

January 23rd, 2013 | Brides Up North: UK Wedding Blog

.

Phase Eight Wedding Dress Collection 2013

.

.

Now you know that I’m a fan of the Great British High Street, particularly for it’s variety, fast fashions and amazing accessory options… but would I recommend buying your actual wedding dress from a high street label?  I’m not sure.  Its a total toss up between affordable, accessible designs and that whole once-in-a-lifetime boutique, bespoke experience.  Honestly?  If you can afford it, I’d generally opt for high end.

.

Then these pictures landed in my inbox. I may well be swayed

.

Coast and Monsoon are excellent at producing beautiful bridal collections that continue to fly off the pegs, and now I think they have found a major contender in Phase Eight, as they launch their stunning wedding collection (for brides and the bridal party) for 2013. 

.

My opinion? Dreamy, daring, sexy and cool.  I’m dying to get down the shops and see how these beauties look in real life.

.

(any excuse).

Phase Eight Wedding Dress Collection 2013

Phase Eight Wedding Dress Collection 2013

.

.

Phase Eight say: This season, Phase Eight’s enchanting wedding collection twists romantic, whimsical detailing with a modern silhouette, perfect for every fairytale romance.  Revisit a time when Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn were the style sweethearts of a nation, with vintage inspired full-length wedding dresses in duchesse satin and crepe de chine. Exquisite floral appliqué and pearl beading details adorn the bridal gowns adding a feminine elegance and delicate charm to the clean, fluid silhouettes.

.

Wedding accessories are designed to enhance and complement each look, from satin peep toe shoes and dainty clutch bags to pearl encrusted fascinators and silk corsages. Beautifully coordinating feather boleros in pretty neutrals add the perfect finishing touch to your bridal style.

It’s been a while since I’ve lauded a particular retailer as one of my high street honeys, but after a quick trolley dash when looking for something (or anything!) to wear for my recent Brides Up North Tweet Up events, French Connection really stood out amongst the other high street giants.  Their latest collections have been pretty and flippy, in sublime sunset shades, with just the right amount of sexy sparkle.  Plus with a real variety of lengths and cuts, there is a silhouette to suit every shape.

.

To be honest, they had me at the sequins.  I do love a bit of Summer sparkle, don’t you? 

.

Whether you are looking for a pretty hen party frock, last minute bargains that your bridesmaids will LOVE or something special for sundowners on your honeymoon, high street honey French Connection has got it covered.

.

Twinkle and twirl!

High Street Honey: Monsoon Bridal Spring/Summer 2012

April 9th, 2012 | Brides Up North: UK Wedding Blog

.

So.  We knew that Monsoon was a total bridal high street honey already right?  I mean: perfect shrugs, great bridesmaid options, darling flower girl frocks and the perfect honeymoon flips.  Duh!

.

But who knew that their Spring/ Summer 2012 bridal collection would be this good?  If you are looking for a pretty yet relaxed take on bridal style (perhaps with a dash of whimsy?) then Monsoon should be your first stop. 

.

The coolest chicks will rock their Wordsworth frock to their secret walled garden wedding, sip Caipharinias in their Blake gown following their oceanfront ceremony or say I do in Claire before throwing on a leather, hopping on the back of the new hubby’s motorbike and heading off into the sunset. 

.

What you save on the frock, spend on the party.

.

Oh and Etienne?  Get in my wardrobe.  Now!
