When should I buy my wedding dress?
Brides who opt for bespoke wedding dress styles should order at least six months ahead of time. Wedding dresses are incredibly intricate work and this gives designers ample time to have it crafted for your special day. Brides are also called in at various stages of the design process to ensure your most perfect fit. With our CAMILLA Wedding Edit, there’s no need to have six months up your planning sleeve – a decadent option for our brides who want to tie the knot sooner rather than later. In such a case, purchase your dress a couple of months in advance to ensure that the fit is exactly how you like it. This way you have the option to have any alterations made before the big day.

Do you change outfits for the wedding reception?
Some brides choose to slip into something more reception-friendly after they’ve officially tied the knot. The beauty of our CAMILLA Wedding Edit lies not only in the creative lavishness but in the ease of heading from your ceremony to dancing the sweet night away. Naturally, beach wedding dresses, bohemian wedding dresses and satin wedding dresses possess a daintier quality, thus making them ideal for all-day comfort.
How to choose a wedding dress style
When taking the first steps into this exciting journey, you want to keep in mind the style of your wedding and the features of your silhouette that you’d like illuminated. For example, if you plan to say I do amidst the sun and sand, a boho wedding dress, or beach wedding dresses will melt effortlessly into the theme of your special day. Similarly, garden nuptials offer the opportunity for a softer style such as floral wedding dresses.
Once you have an idea of your wedding style, begin exploring the cut and shape of the gown. Consider the aspects of your silhouette that make you feel your most confident, and aim to bring them into the limelight through the cut of the dress. Styles such as fitted sheaths, trumpets or mermaids hug and accentuate the curves, while a classic A-line universally flatters by drawing in the waist and defining the bust.
For our brides who want to explore not-so-traditional styles, we have fallen head-over-heels for midi-tulles and slip dresses. These numbers are renowned for going against the grain and offer the creative space to be revived long after you say I do. Due to the minimalistic nature of slip wedding dresses, don’t be afraid to add your own touch in the way of the neckline or train detailing.
How to choose wedding jewellery
Weddings are defined by all that is dreamy and whimsical. Wedding jewellery should be considered subtle sparkles that catch the light as you walk down the aisle or as you cut the cake, a final complement to your opulence. Less is more in the case of nuptial dressing, ensure that you wear the jewellery and the jewellery doesn’t wear you.
What jewellery to wear with a strapless wedding dress
Strapless wedding dresses offer a unique opportunity to explore the décolletage and beyond. Invite a set of drop-down diamond earrings to the mix if you’re opting to leave your hair out. If you’re choosing an updo alongside your strapless wedding dress, welcome a necklace to the décolletage.
The nature of these gowns means there’s space to play with accessories. Less is more on your wedding day, so by having your hair down you want to avoid the extra busyness that a necklace would attract. Similarly, an updo accentuates the free space of the neckline so a string of pearls or a diamond necklace adds balance to the space.
How to do mismatched bridesmaid dresses
The best way to ace mismatched bridesmaid dresses is by keeping at least one aspect of the dresses the same. The trick lies in what the eye is naturally drawn towards, colour being the first, followed closely by length and material. So opt for the same colouration and fabrication for your bridesmaids, but differentiate the neckline. This subtle mismatch creates enough variation without losing cohesion.
Material, although not the most obvious factor to consider, is important in the way it defines the flow and movement of the silhouettes. Think of the softness that falls upon silk numbers versus the heaviness that comes with a structured polyester. If you’re leaning towards a blend of cuts, pair like-hemlines, so midi with maxi, or midi with mini. Pairing maxi silhouettes with mini dresses creates a bigger difference to the eye.
And the final touch lies in coupling up your bridesmaid’s silhouettes — i.e. for a group of four, consider choosing two different necklines and having your ladies choose which they feel most comfortable in. The same method applies to ladies of three or five, simply offer your maid of honour a variation to the rest.
