Charlie Brear trunk show at Lovely

Diaries at the ready! One date you'll definitely not want to miss is the 24th and 25th April when Lovely Bridal in Honiton will be staging the Charlie Brear trunk show, giving you the chance to lavish in the luxury British label's latest must-have designs.

Evocatively named, Desert Dreamers, this year's hot-to-trot collection reimagines the idea of modern feminism but with a spiritual twist, taking its inspiration from Barbara Glowczewski's same-titled book that explores the desert paths known as 'The Dreamings' that connect it to the cosmos and are thought to serve as a response to the time's social climate.

"This year with our focus on sustainability and the finer details of our British based production we are navigating the balance of life with our love and joy for design and dresses of dreams. Glowczewski discusses two vastly different visions of the earth, contemporary Western culture and the ancient indigenous dreaming culture, exploring self-transformation and discovery. All these things resonated with us and a brides search for the perfect dress at the start of her journey of marriage," they explain.

Whether you opt for a beautiful bias cut dress as a stand-alone piece of minimal perfection, or layer it with multiple items of mixed textiles and textures for a self-styled look loaded with interest, the collection lends itself to individualisation of the most en vogue variety.

Luxe fabrics like feather tulle, flower jacquard crepe and an assortment of laces including laser cut flower lace, Lariette lace and Lattice lace adds a striking contemporary touch, with pearl flower sequins achieving a touch of sparkle. Clever multi-use features allow for maximum wearability and re-use, from tiered overskirts to reversible tops, as do minute detachable styling additions such as sleeves, sashes, belts and panels to ensure an adaptable ensemble as beautiful as it is bespoke.
