Your Herts and Beds Wedding - December/January 2023/2024 (Issue 101)

52 AMY RICHARDSON AT WHAT ALICE WORE We’re seeing two distinct bride tribes next year: a swathe of those who love minimalist, tailored designs that create impact and those who love a maximalist approach in the form of modern beading, dramatic shapes and deep champagne tones. We love catering to both brides at What Alice Wore, and our collections reflect these aesthetics. But the common thread that runs through all gown choices is that they must be modern, dancefloor-proof and have just that touch different from collections you’ll see elsewhere. Our gowns are also highly customisable so that we can truly deliver what brides desire. Are you searching for luminous ivory and clean lines? Our designers, Cizzy Bridal, Miss Scarlett and our newest signing, Luna Novias, may be for you. Dreaming of luxury shimmer and a dress you’ve never seen before? Zavana Couture, Zavana Bridal and Monreal will be the perfect fit. We look forward to welcoming you to our breezy St Albans boutique soon to help you find that dream gown.

The bridal fashion landscape is ever-evolving, and 2024 is set to be a game-changer. Forget tradition; it’s all about personal flair and jaw-dropping styles. Say hello to statement sleeves! Puff or fitted, it’s all about romantic drama. Designers like Sarah Alouche lead the way with styles like Antoinette and Juliette, as well as Love & Liberty’s Anthea. Make your ‘I do’ a fashion statement! The less is more trend continues from this year. Think crisp, clean lines on effortless silhouettes. We love simple dresses, but not plain, with unique details like extra delicate draping around the bodice like the Love & Liberty’s Savannah dress – its understated elegance at its finest. Our Sarah Alouche dress Kiss is also minimalist perfection. Get ready to turn heads! Bridal fashion continues to get more daring with sexy slits, statement cutouts and bare backs. Styles like Cassey by Sarah Alouche and Ruth by Love & Liberty are redefining bridal allure – it’s glam reimagined. From statement sleeves to minimalist chic and daring glamour, 2024 is all set to redefine bridal fashion, and that’s not all! Keep an eye out for pastels and bold floral prints too.
