20 Wedding-Ready White Dresses 

If you’re inspired by Caroline Bassette Kennedy’s legendary gown, then look no further than a silky number with a minimalist touch. For a maxi-slip dress with delicate straps consider Third Form and Shona Joy. If you are looking for a more enveloping silhouette, Tussah’s long-sleeved silhouettes are as timeless as they are flattering. Where you simplify with the gown, compensate in the shoe department with a glittering pair of Harlo heels.

Put your hands up if you’re never one to do anything by halves? Romantic ruffles, floor-sweeping hems and vintage-inspired lace can be effortless too. Channel that old-world glamour with RTW labels like Self Portrait and Whistles for a dose of white taffeta and ivory crepe with a contemporary spin. These confident styles when complemented by modern jewellery like a pair of Oroton pearl earrings or gold huggies are 21st century glamour at its finest.

For a sun-dappled love ritual with a close circle of friends opt for light, breezy with a hint of fun. We love fairy-tale puffed sleeves and flounced hems from Ownley to spruce up the low-key event or Australian label Montique’s delicate floral embroidery to elevate a party gown that will be loved beyond the bouquet. Dial up the outfit with standout mules with textured details and a modern block heel for easy grooving or switch out post ceremony into a pair of crisp white sneakers to really get the party started.  

If you have a penchant to dress to your own beat you’ll love combining separates for a strikingly fresh look. Choose a pop piece for your bridal outfit like a Ginger & Smart blazer with its cinched waist or Rebecca Vallance’s feathers and bows. Match subtle shapes to your standout element like voluminous top, slip skirts or a form-hugging midi dress underneath. If you’re wishing to modernise the wedding gown your way - look to conversation-starting accents from Auteur, Chancery and BY JOHNNY. When in doubt, a champagne hue is just the right balance between understated cool and eccentric.
