18 Best Princess Wedding Dresses For The Bride Who Doesn't Do Things By Halves
The romantic and glamorous wedding dresses you've been dreaming of. Step this way for full skirts, embroidered bodices and feathers for days.
Yes, we understand the many appeals of a low-key micro wedding. Nuptials for which you're not obliged to invite every distant cousin and don't have to sell a spleen to afford are great. Even the bridalwear options for a pared back day are oh so cool - who doesn't want to pull off an ivory wedding suit, affordable but chic midi dress or sleek modern gown?
But - and we realise this could come off as a little spoilt - some of us still want the big day. A big day might include a bulging guest list, a not-so-small loan or a non-refundable wedding package in a stately home, but mainly, a big day means a big dress.
This wedding dress could be big in the literal sense, with its Princess-worthy skirt and train needing a small fleet of flower girls to hold it. Or it could be big in attitude, totally over-the-top complete with sequins, feathers and ruffles. Tulle, lace and bows are a big yes when it comes to the glamorous, romantic and unabashedly feminine wedding dresses we're dreaming of. And they're done best by the likes of Emilia Wickstead, Taller Marmo and Cecilie Bahnsen.
