Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - October/November (Issue 97)

THE BRIDAL DRESS COMPANY UNVEIL A NEW DESIGNER The Bridal Dress Company located in Newbury, Berkshire has welcomed a new designer into the store. Dreamy dresses by Justin Alexander are now available at this popular bridal boutique. Owner Charlotte Proctor tells us, “A couple of bridal trends for 2023 have already started to emerge after many major bridal fashion houses revealed their new spring collections. My favourite is the clean lines trend which is all about making a statement through simplicity. A daring side slit, an asymmetric neckline, beautiful tailoring and exquisite fabrics all make up this modern take on bridal fashion.” Charlotte continues, “The neckline of the moment is a fashionable off-the-shoulder style. This is combined with 3D florals because many designers have reworked the more traditional lace fabrics into oversized lace and floral motifs, switching the aesthetic to a more current one.” Ultra-feminine design details such as pearls and bows have been popular over the last year and will remain so in 2023. Charlotte tells us, “These can be as part of a dress, accessories or jewellery. When it comes to bridesmaids, we’ve seen the colour green dominate the industry. In 2023, Bridgerton-inspired Regency blues and lavender will become the colours of the year. We’re seeing brides make a statement with their wedding dress choices, truly expressing themselves through fashion. Where better to start the wedding dress search than with the Justin Alexander ‘Be You’ collection, one that encourages brides to feel confident in a wedding dress that evokes their personality.
