If you’re planning a destination wedding abroad – or even just a less formal ceremony on home soil – this pretty cream lace shift dress from Principles could be just the thing you’re looking for. At just £59 it’s significantly cheaper than a traditional wedding dress, and if you’d like to dress it up a little, a silk sash in either cream or a contrasting colour would be an easy way to bring it right up to date. That said, the shift dress is a pretty classic look all on it’s own, and the kind of thing that won’t date too easily either.
