The Bridal Checklist

Planning a wedding isn't the most... relaxing activity, right? With a million thoughts flooding your mind, a simple checklist can be a blessing. Here, we help you to tick off the essentials, so you can focus on the smaller details in the lead-up to the big day.

The Dress

There's no dispute - choosing your wedding dress is a decision you can't rush. Luckily for you, we've got beautiful styles to suit every taste, from traditional cuts to boho details and modern city aesthetics. Soft satins meet delicate lace, and intricate embroidery comes into its own through these coveted ready-to-wear designs.

The Accessories

They may be small, but your wedding accessories can have the biggest effect. For the shoes, discover pairs to match your outfit, from the fabrics to the embellishments. Choose a heel height you feel comfortable in and be ready to walk into the next chapter in style. Add some sparkle with jewellery accents you can cherish after the wedding day, from bracelets to earrings and necklaces (we'd assume the rings are covered).

The Beauty

Stay true to you and don't stray too far from makeup you know works for you. Layers are key, so start with glow-inducing skincare and follow with a long-lasting base, accompanied by trusty concealer. Awaken your eyes with fanned lashes and add a soft shade of colour to your cheeks, so you can look picture-perfect throughout the day. Finish it off with a fragrance, selecting notes you love to surround yourself in.

The Décor

If you're going down the DIY route when setting the scene, look no further than these additions. These flowers will last a lifetime, so choose a bunch to match your colour theme and fill your home, garden and beyond with these blooms. For the celebrations, select glassware and tableware to keep the festivities going well into the evening.
