Would you wear high street on your big day?
For many brides, the perfect dress is high on the list of priorities.
We’ve all grown up with the montages of women trying on wedding gowns in films and back-to-back episodes of Say Yes To The Dress, so for many of us, a bridal boutique is the only place to pick up our dream big white dress.
But with the costs of weddings spiralling, many brides are looking at alternatives to avoid spending thousands on a dress.
Lots of high street stores have come out with bridal ranges that look anything but cheap.
One of our absolute favourite collections is by French Connection and this Palermo dress in particular has stolen our hearts.
The off-white colour and empire-line cut would suit just about anyone while the white thread work on the dress’s bodice make it look like a designer piece.
Its simplicity means the bride could go with as little or as much jewellery as she likes – we reckon some delicate drop earrings are all this dress needs.
It’s ideal for a boho bride who wants a timeless look and balks at the idea of fishtail and princess styles.
It’s available in sizes 6 to 16 and costs €385.
