The winter wedding dress edit

Whether you're planning on getting married during wintertime and are on the hunt for a top trending look - or simply fancy donning something uber glamorous - these latest fresh-from-the-runway styles ensure a head-turning ensemble, whatever the season.

Layering is key. Light-as-air skirts, bridal separates and sleek shifts work fabulously with capes, long-sleeved tops, and detachable overskirts and trains, which can be combined to create a beautifully bespoke and all-weather ensemble.

And winter doesn't automatically mean cover-up styles either. The latest collections are awash with demure and even daring confections, with deep V plunge necklines, sultry sweetheart bodices and stunning off-the-shoulder dresses paired with elegant long sleeves, floor-sweeping feather capes, and couture bridal wraps and jackets.

There's also a wonderful intricacy of detail that captures the magic of the season. Spectacular star motifs, gorgeous dotted tulle, glamorous art deco inspired beadwork and floral embroidery are some of the au courant features on offer, while minimalist alternatives including understated A-lines and long and short satin ballgowns smack of old school romance.

Add a dash of sparkle with sequins, silver accents and metallic embellishment - and brides will be upping the glam factor during the spotlight-stealing seasons to come.
