I know shotgun weddings are essentially out of the window in the developed world but I’ve certainly met more than a few ‘emergency weddings’ when it was decided that the bride/mother-to-be would don a white dress at the 11th hour. There’s no need to be unstylish though, just check out these gowns! Left, featuring one of the oddest shaped bumps ever (is it real I wonder?) is an empire waisted shirred bust dress with sweetheart neckline, ‘Samantha’ from Maternity Bride and right, crepe floor length gown with chiffon sash to swathe around the bump, ‘Danielle’ £599 from Brides’n'Bumps.
