If you’re after a wedding dress with a twist you’ll love this eco handmade gown that is made from vintage re-purposed fabrics – the key to being a green bride.
The blue hand-dyed linen that make up the corset is from vintage French and German mail bags, adorned with vintage lace, chains and old clock parts. The dress closes at the back with white off-white sateen ribbon. The skirt is made from vintage castle curtains – a novel way of being a fairytale princess!
If you like what you see, you best hurry as there is only one dress like it! The UK size 12 dress is available from Malam’s Etsy shop for €1.400,00 EUR (around £1,242.35).

If you have or haven’t seen the latest instalment of the Twilight films in which Bella Swan’s Carolina Herrera bridal gown is finally revealed it doesn’t really matter now (unless you’re a bit Twilight fan).
Bridal designer Alfred Angelo has revealed a replica of the much talked about dress worn by Kristin Stewart in her on-screen wedding to real-life boyfriend Robert Pattinson.
The dress is made of lace and satin with over 100 covered buttons down the back, comes in sizes 6 to 34W and retails at £549.

The Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress that Kate Middleton wore at her royal wedding to Prince Williams has been copied numerous times since the April wedding. And now fans of the gown Pippa Middleton wore as she stepped into the spotlight as chief bridesmaid at the royal shindig seven months ago.
The beautifully cut, elegant and timeless Alexander McQueen silk-crepe gown is an almost identical copy of Pippa’s dress and is now being sold on net-a-porter.com for £1,995.
Despite being designed as a bridesmaid gown, I’m sure many British brides will be rushing to secure this particular gown as it offers a simple silhouette compared to more elaborate designs. And at just shy of £2k it is comes at a fraction of the price! Pippa’s gown is said to have cost around £20,000, but did include bespoke lace panels around the sleeves and neck as well as silk button detailing on the back. Hey, it was a royal wedding after all!
Can’t promise you’ll get a derrière like Pippa by wearing the Sarah Burton design, but it sure is a pretty choice for your wedding day.

Also new of this year is the Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Jewels, which is a stunning collection of Disney Princess inspired jewellery that is designed to complement each bridal gown and maiden dress.

I love the new Temperley London wedding dress collection which was shown at the Luxury Wedding Show back in October.
With an emphasis on embroidery and lace, the collection is stunning and will be perfect for an English Rose on her wedding day.
Favourites? Honeysuckle and Goddess.

While other bridal design superstar Vera Wang has opted for a series of nude and black wedding dresses for her autumn 2012 collection, celebrity favourite Monique Lhuillier has kept to a more traditional white. I personally loved the Gothic feel of Vera’s range, but Monique’s – even if less dark and twisted – Fall 2012 bridal collection is stunning nonetheless with an abundance of lace, tulle and oodles of draping chiffons. Everything you need to feel like a Princess Bride.
The best of the lot? Bouquet with its high split, Lili for its cuteness and Monroe for its Old Hollywood glamour.

We love it when new bridal collections are revealed, so of course we were delighted when these images of Sarah Houston’s spring 2012 designs. Below are some of the wedding dresses available for next year’s spring brides that are looking for timeless romanticism and elegance. We particularly like Sabrina for utter 1940s glamour.

Marchesa Bridal Autumn 2012
Marchesa is one of our favourite dress designers, and the Autumn 2012 Bridal Collection doesn’t disappoint. With an ethereal fantasy feel, the latest range by Georgina Chapman offers draped tulle, voluminous skirts, delicate lace and a couple of short dresses for a less formal wedding ceremony. Personally I love the short dress with a feathery skirt.

This sophisticated A-line, full circle gown oozes glamour with its delicate layers of satin and organza. The asymmetric, one shoulder neckline gives this classic dress a hot-off-the-catwalk modern edge.

I know we’re almost at the end of 2011, but this rather small but stunning autumn wedding dress collection from Claire Pettibone was too pretty not to share with you. Who would you have as your best friend on your wedding day: Constance, Norah, Frances or Louisa?

Badgley Mischka was one of our favourites at New York Bridal Week. Innovative high fashion was on the menu as models cascaded down the catwalk in avant-garde wedding dresses and dramatic veils. We love the champagne coloured gown with feathers on the shoulders; this collection definitely sets the trend for spring 2012!
