Your Kent Wedding -September/October 2020 (Issue 92)

 THE TREND REPORT We talked to the county’s boutique owners to discover this season’s most popular styles S o, it’s time to say “yes” to the dress, and it’s likely you’ve already got a firm idea of the silhouette you’re looking for. However, do try to keep an open mind, as you may be surprised when the one calls to you and isn’t at all what you anticipated. To give you a head start, we asked some of Kent’s wonderful bridal boutique owners to tell us their top trends for this season and beyond. “We’re excited about the new levels of sparkle designers are delivering. We’re seeing them opt for sequins and other sparkly fabrics, rather than embellishments with jewels and bling, for a more modern option. Eddy K is a designer who’s ahead of the game with style numbers Sky181 and CT274. Sequins have been used in different ways to ensure these gowns twinkle from every angle.” – Victoria Walton, Victoria Elaine Bridal “There’s definitely a love for intricate lace detail that we’re see - ing from our designers this season, as well as satin and Mikado fabrics, which are also popular this season.” – Hayley Freeman-Revell, Victoria Grace Bridal “More than ever brides are looking for something different, dresses that nobody else has seen. So individuality is key. This means looking to designers for inspiration, think lace dresses, sleeves, low backs, and exclusive styles.” – Zoe Dowle, Brides by Zoe  THE ONE AND ONLY La Sposa by Pronovias, available at Brides by Zoe THE GL I TTERAT I Sky181 by Eddy K, available at Victoria Elaine Bridal MATER I AL GI RL Style 1775 by Kenneth Winston, available at Victoria Grace Bridal BRIDAL BOUTIQUES 85
