Looks For The Fashion-Forward Bride
Recently engaged? Congratulations! Have you thought of what type of wedding you might like? Chic civil ceremony or destination do? Well, whatever your plans, we've got you covered.
Introducing our edit of what the fashion-girl wants to wear to her wedding. We're talking Victoria Beckham, Jimmy Choo and more. These are the style-forward looks to take you down the aisle and beyond. Plus, we've got some can't-miss beauty picks you'll want to incorporate into your look.
Your Engagement Party
Your first outing into the world of bridal dressing! For the engagement party, you'll be excited to start your series of white looks, but we recommend an off-white or a baby blue if you're not quite ready to dive into that yet.
Reach for something timeless and sophisticated that you'll always look back on with pride. We love Bite Studios or Khaite for an effortless cool-girl look that will stand the test of time. Keep your makeup look glowy and fresh; the fun is only just beginning!
Your Hen Party
Shop Modern Bride Edit
SHOP MAKEUP
Ah, the famous, or infamous, hen party look! To avoid any fashion faux-pas, we suggest investing in something you would wear again rather than a gimmick or one-off piece, and having some fun with the accessories instead.
On our wishlist? A mini from Acler, Aje or Simkhai. Pair it with a fun Cult Gaia bag, sky-high heels and don't forget setting spray! We recommend Charlotte Tilbury iconic Flawless Filter Setting Spray for all-day and all-night coverage.
Get Ready!
Any bride knows that the morning of her wedding day will be one of the most memorable of her life. Gather your nearest and dearest, hair and makeup at the ready, and make sure someone is capturing special reminders of this momentous time.
Maybe you're not the monogrammed pyjamas type. For the fashion-forward girl, we recommend a silk robe or two-piece from Simone Pérèle. Framed with lace, Pérèle's designs simply exude French romanticism. And after all, it is the nation of love! Pair this with some skin-prep from some of our beloved K-Beauty brands and you'll be ready to go.
Your Civil Ceremony
Shop Modern Bride Edit
SHOP BRIDAL BEAUTY
Many brides these days are opting for chic civil ceremonies. While for some, this is simply a stop along the way before their destination wedding, for others, it is a low-key, suitably sophisticated alternative to a large wedding. Either way, you deserve to enjoy your moment in the spotlight.
You’ll want something suitably bridal, of course, but not necessarily traditional. We suggest a crisp white or cream tailored two-piece from a brand like Victoria Beckham or Dolce & Gabbana, paired with chic heels and a beautiful clutch. And, of course, the perfect manicure.
Your Big White Wedding
Whether you're opting for a destination setting after your civil ceremony is complete, or prefer something a little more extra, you deserve to do it in style. The fashion-forward bride will know to reach for names such as Victoria Beckham, Aje and Roland Mouret when it comes to alternative bridal fashion.
Choose a signature lip colour or fragrance that when you wear it again will remind you of this special day.
The Afterparty

SHOP BRIDAL BEAUTY
Come on, you didn't think you were just going to wear one dress for the whole day, did you? Well, when the opportunity arises to dress up, we think you should rise to the occasion.
For the afterparty, you're going to want to think about comfort as well as style. Many brides opt for pretty flats, shorter skirts and more playful finishes. Think Cult Gaia, Staud and more. Refresh your makeup with a bolder lip or some shimmery shadow for a point of difference.
Day 2
Day 2 is often a much more relaxed affair; the pre-wedding jitters are gone, and everyone is just excited to celebrate the bride and groom. Our tip: savour your moments in white, and continue the trend with a comfortable yet stylish co-ord moment.
We love a fresh-faced look for Day 2, but we know that you may be feeling a little worse for wear. Reach for no-makeup-makeup from Victoria Beckham and you'll look like you got 8 hours of sleep, trust us.
Your Honeymoon
Shop Holiday Dressing Edit
SHOP FRAGRANCE
Don't let the post-wedding blues hit just yet! You're about to jet off on your honeymoon. Continue your fashionable moments and stretch out that theme of white as long as you can. Accessorise with basket bags from LOEWE, a summery scent from Tom Ford and more.
