Gorgeous wedding guest dresses from Pronovias
If you’ve got a wedding to attend this summer, look no further than the fabulous new collection from Pronovias for perfect wedding guest dresses
Choosing the perfect wedding look can be tricky! When shopping from the Highstreet there are so many options but perhaps none that are special enough, and of course you always run the risk of wearing the same dress as another guest – the ultimate wedding guest disaster!
Thankfully, leading global bridal brand Pronovias have launched their divine Cocktail collection for 2019, providing dreamy wedding guest dresses we just know you’ll adore as much as we do.
Whether you’re a guest or Mother-of-the-bride, these designs offer something that little bit special, offering the superb quality we’ve come to expect from Pronovias. Boasting an exclusive pastel palette, featuring lavender, dusty rose and turquoise, plus exquisite fabrics, it’s easy to create a luxurious look. And, with a range of lengths, necklines and stunning details to choose from, you’re sure to find something to suit your style.
We adore the lightweight chiffon and tulle fabrics used throughout the collection – perfect if the current heatwave continues! Plus, floral prints are seriously stunning.
Elegant and sophisticated, the cocktail collection is the perfect combination of fresh and romantic dresses, so that any guest can feel perfectly unique at the most special of celebrations.

Fashion focus: Bridal jumpsuits and separates
Fashionista brides will adore these chic and stylish bridal jumpsuits and separates. The modern alternative to the traditional wedding gown…
If bridal gowns aren’t really your thing, then one of these gorgeous outfits will be. Figure-flattering and modern, bridal jumpsuits and separates are everywhere right now and we can’t get enough of them. From chic city weddings and evening celebrations, to simply as a sleek fashion-forward alternative, these sets are a wonderful choice. Here are just a few of our favourites:
ELBETH GILLIS
This breathtaking ensemble is a combination of three beautiful pieces, which come together to create something spectacular! From the Milk & Honey collection by Elbeth Gillis, this look is made up of a corset-style bodice in stretch satin, a modern stretch satin skirt with a high-low hemline and hidden pockets, and an illusion top with embroidered motifs and button detailing (Chloe + Harper +Tara). Beautiful for a wedding abroad.
LILLIAN WEST
A modern twist on the traditional bridal silhouette, style 6519 from Lillian West is super stylish. With an illusion, off-the-shoulder crop top, figure-hugging skirt and illusion midriff this is one for the body confident! The corded lace detailing is stunning and did we mention it has hidden pockets? Could it get much more perfect?
MARTINA LIANA
From their dedicated separates collection, Martina Liana have nailed the two-piece trend with this sweet combination. The pairing of the ‘Peyton’ pants with the silk cami ‘Taye’ top proves you don’t need to wear a dress to look feminine. We love this cool ensemble.
HOUSE OF OLLICHON
If you’re not quite ready to ditch the skirt, this fun and flirty combo from House of Ollichon is ‘the one’. Not too far removed from a gown, but with a little midriff on show for a fashion-focused style. The Thomas skirt and top are sleek and simple, and that waterfall design is perfect for dancing!

Our favourite dress pictures…
We’ve seen some spectacular dress pictures in our time – all inspirational and from a variety of sources. Here, we showcase our all-time favourites…
We are fans of the heavily stylised bridal photoshoot. Big fans. (There, we said it). Not for us a lifeless shot of a disembodied dress, oh no. We like our gowns in a glorious sumptuous settings. We like our dress pictures to be decidedly different, curiously quirky, always utterly beautiful, and full of the promise of big-day drama. A bit like our favourite weddings, in fact (and indeed wedding dresses come to that). So here, in this visual bananza of bountiful beauty, we showcase our favourite could-be-a-campaign, bring-on-the-drama shots…

Dreams Martin Thornburg
Oh Martin Thornburg, you’ve done it again. There is not a single thing we’re not IN LOVE WITH about this picture. Ornate cornicing, rose petals underfoot, a wistful child, and is that a unicorn…? This picture entitled ‘Dreams’ has, and says, it all. And how we all have ever since…
Emily Victoria White
Now usually, a white background to showcase a stunning gown leaves us a little ‘meh’. But not so here in this distinctly ‘let’s all move to Cuba’ vibe shot. You won: we are seduced.
ELBETH GILLIS
It’s not just that the dress is gorgeous (feathers: just say yes); it’s that the colour is so vivid, vibrant and gloriously unexpected. We love this picture and cannot now pass a pier without having our pics taken mimicking this pose. We like to think we look a little similar. Sadly, this is obviously not the case.
Eliza Jane Howell
No better way to showcase a decadent 1920s-style vintage gown than in this statement pose…
Eliza Jane Howell
… and proving that it wasn’t just a one off, Eliza Jane Howell surprised us with this space-inspired, electro-techno bit of brilliance. (Is anyone else thinking David Bowie?)
Muse Bridal
Eat your heart out Dolce & Gabbana. Old broom, check, washing drying, check, topless older gentleman, check… unbelievably breathtaking wedding gown? Check. We love the juxtaposed genius of this shot.
Modeca
For those who remember the Met Ball’s ‘Dress like a Catholic’ theme, religious iconography and high fashion go together like love and marriage. We love the dove. It’s all very Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. And who can ever get enough of that?
Bridal accessories from Enzoani
Final finishing flourishes that make your outfit complete. We love these brilliant bridal accessories from top designer Enzoani…
If we had a pound for every time a bride thanked her lucky stars for that one perfect finishing touch that brought her whole look together, well, we could open up that library-slash-cookie-shop we’ve always dreamed of. Stepping in to the dress of your dreams is quite something; it’s an experience like no other, in fact. But occasionally, and whilst you know the dress is ‘the one’ without question, still something remains. Some nagging doubt persists that it needs just that little something extra. And here’s where the geniuses at Enzoani step in. We’ve always loved the sheer romance of their dresses but have you checked out their bridal accessories? Get ready to be dazzled…
Kendra
A mermaid skirt with stunning layers of soft tulle adds the perfect amount of drama and sophistication to this stylish, full-length Alencon lace and Chantilly lace gown. Complete with an ultra-flattering sweetheart neckline and an incredible train with embroidered lace appliqués and scalloped hem lace, this dream dress also features an invisible zipper back closure sprinkled with delicate crystal buttons.
Jasmine
Timeless elegance and vintage glamour are epitomized in an off-the-shoulder neckline with delicate sheer lace overlay, paired with gorgeous beaded appliqués over a soft charmeuse sheath skirt.
Kacey
Adorned with beaded, embroidered lace appliqués, the 3/4-sleeved tulle jacket features a delicate button back closure. Draped over the full-length, soft satin gown with sweetheart neckline, the jacket completes a sophisticated look perfect for any era and occasion, from an Old Hollywood red carpet to a modern day trip down the aisle.
Jacket-T
Bring an extra dose of gorgeous vintage glamour to your bridal style with this beaded embroidery and tulle jacket adorned with exquisite crystal stones, opal stones, beads, bugles and pearls. The jeweled neckline and short sleeves perfectly pair with a crystal button back closure.

Theme your day Parisian chic…
Full of charm and always uber-cool, add a certain je ne sais quoi to your day with a simply stunning Parisian chic theme…
Parisian chic will never go out of fashion. Achieve that effortlessly cool yet eternally romantic big-day look with these inspirational ideas for your wedding day…
The bridal gown
Breathtakingly sumptuous, we love this heavily structured corset and bodice and its perfectly complementary decadent fishtail skirt. The seductive take on the sweetheart neckline adds a note of intrigue, and the slight iridescent design on the skirt is truly the stuff statements are made of. Wear with your hair loose for a more bohemian way to rock this elegant design.
If shimmery sensation is the look you’re after, this glorious gown could be just the ticket. Dare to bare with a plunging V, and check out that intricate design across the bodice!
Parisian chic at its best featuring polka dots and whimsical flights-of-fancy sleeves: we love this look!
The Flowers
Parisian chic is all about capturing subtle, muted tones in a pastel palette. Choose cream and pale-pink roses interspersed with sprigs and green foliage. And don’t scrimp on the size or be overly concerned with a perfectly symmetrical look; these buds are meant to bloom and are best in a hand-tied array letting nature do its own thing!
The Stationery
Make like Monet and think watercolours in pale blues on a cream canvas. Seal with an old-school stamp of wax in a touch of gold and tie with string to complete the look.
The Food: Let them eat cake!
Parisian chic food comes in miniature size but is always deliciously decadent and indulgent. Think brightly coloured macaroons, fresh clementines and of course, a selection of cheeses.

Niche necklines for your maids!
Dare to be different and choose bridesmaids’ dresses that showcase a gorgeous décolletage! We love these fabulously fierce niche necklines…
Meghan may have made the world sit up and take notice, but as far as we’re concerned, the collarbone has always ruled big time! Showing off a dreamy décolletage is our idea of a must (oh we do love a good clavicle here at Love Our Wedding). Always on the lookout for the curiously quirky and decidedly different, we showcase our favourite niche necklines for your bridesmaids’ dresses…

Dessy
Well hello beautiful! Ethereal, dreamy, whimsical and utterly magical, we love this floor-length maxi in soft pastel hues. Delicate spaghetti straps perfectly complement the shoulder cut-outs to show off beautifully sun-kissed shoulders.
Maids to Measure
There’s something about dressing everyone in white, and this deceptively simple gown packs a huge punch on the style front. We love this neckline for its carefree nod to the capped sleeves; its bohemian take on a structured corset, and its tiny row of satin buttons. Gorgeous!
Perfectly pastel in pale pink, for a flightier way to rock the sweetheart neckline, we love this tulle addition with subtle sparkle.
Katya Katya Shehurina
Still on the pastel theme but definitely decidedly different, check out this lemon and lime with spearmint-blue gown from Katya Katya Shehurina. We’re loving the cute ruffles at the shoulders!
Morilee
For an entirely grown-up way to shine, if you’ve opted for a black tie wedding occasion, dress your maids in this sumptuous and seductive gown from Morilee. The Bardot-neckline is bang on trend; the thigh-high split adds a note of intrigue, and the pretty diamanté belt creates a sensational silhouette.
Grecian-inspired goddesses, step this way! Travelling exceptionally well for a holiday abroad (and just as cooling to wear), this peachier shade of pink will show off your bridesmaids’ beautiful décolletages. Go all out and team with oversized costume jewellery or a statement cuff bracelet.
Mix and match from Modeca Jazz 2018…
A mix and match philosophy makes for a perfectly personalised bride! We love the Modeca Jazz 2018 stunning collection for the modern bride…
Perfectly in tune with the modern bride’s quest for authenticity, we showcase the Modeca Jazz 2018 collection. Full of flair and creativity, this collection gives brides the freedom to create a statement look perfectly tailored to their personality and overarching theme…

Tantalising Tops
Cadiz body top
The Cadiz top in tulle and lace is available in ivory and sand for a contrasting tulle and lace look, or both in ivory as seen here. This classic V-neck look is a guaranteed silhouette-enhancer and sure to show off those curves. Perfectly versatile, combine with either a skirt or trousers (see below) to create a modern, romantic, vintage or even bohemian big-day look.
Cancun Body Top
We suspect halter necks will sweep the bridal world by storm after Meghan’s statement simplicity in the Stella McCartney gown she wore for her wedding’s reception. Recreate the look with the Cancun Top and either pair with a structured skirt or opt for a more ethereal note with a fuller tulle skirt.
Cannes top
The trend for this neckline is sure to continue (oh we do love a good clavicle in the bridal world!). Pretty as a picture, the Cannes top is a vision in lace embroidered flowers with capped sleeves. Keep this look light with minimal accessories and wear hair in soft waves as seen here for a boho-inspired look.
Beautiful bottoms!
Chambort Pants
For the uber-chic and city-dwelling goddess, these wide-legged Chambort Pants could be just the ticket. Keeping you cool and comfortable all day long, team with a statement pair of wedges to complete the ’70s vibe!
Charleston skirt
Chicago-A skirt
If you’ve got a gorgeous pair of shoes (and legs!) to show off, the Chicago-A skirt is streets ahead. The perfect choice if you’re looking to make a statement.
