Something Old, Something new - the vintage wedding theme is set to continue

The vintage wedding theme is set to continue, especially as a certain royal bride chose a lace gown for her big day earlier this year

Kate Sherford’s ‘Grace’ is a beautiful fishtail lace gown with halter neck and rose corsage detail, £1,795

‘Fleur De Lis Pearl’ bridal necklace and earrings set £69.99 from Olivier Laudus Design

Charisse’ is a satin and lace gown from Suzanne Neville’s 2011/12 collection, £3,290

‘Bridal fashion for 2012 has definitely taken some influence from Kate’s bridal gown: lace featured in many collections, as did detailed straps and sleeves. However, skirt shapes are varied from large full skirts to sleek fitted styles.

Silk chiffon also features for those brides wanting a less structured style.’
