Cancelling, rescheduling and uncertainty has encouraged many couples to have an intimate wedding ceremony.

This is your chance to buy those shoes you dreamed of, wear that short dress that you aways wanted to but didn't feel fit the traditions and really push your creative boundaries.

STATEMENT SHOES AND SHORT DRESSES

While a typical bridal dress is floor length, this is not a typical situation and that calls for a new and imaginative dress style. Wearing a short style dress means that you will be comfortable throughout the day and not dragged down by the weight of a larger dress. If you want to opt for a playful style we cannot think of a better time. These dresses from Viktor and Rolf and Galia Lahav are perfect. 

Another positive of wearing a short dress is that your beautiful shoes can be seen every second. Choosing a statement style shoe such as our Gabriella or Bluebell is a great way of adding a bridal touch to a modern style. 

 

FUN AND FLIRTY FLORENCE 

Paired with a fun and playful mini dress our iconic Florence style is another great choice for a fabulous intimate wedding or civil ceremony. She is a romantic style, perfect for the modern bride who wants to add a touch of femininity to her look. Emmy describes Florence as a treat for your feet, the lustrous satin bows, like ribbons on a gift, can be adjusted and tied to suit your style. 

As Florence is such a beautiful and eye catching design and silhouette, she also compliments a more simpler style.

Our real bride Carlota is serving major bridal inspiration vibes as she paired her Florence Ivory heels with a super chic and modern suit for her London wedding. 

Many brides are choosing shoes that they know they will wear again for these smaller events. If you love the style but are worried about how many times in the future you will brave the ivory suede, you can use our bespoke service to choose a colour of your choice. 

Our fabulous real bride Madeleine created her dream Mustard suede Florence shoes for her London Civil Ceremony. She paired them here with chic white jeans and a floaty white blouse for a fun and modern look.  

TAILORING AND TROUSERS 

Due to the less traditional nature of these weddings and ceremonies, the types of outfit brides-to-be can choose from doesn't have to stop at gowns.

If you are looking for something cool but classic or dresses just really aren't your thing trousers are the perfect choice for you.

Whether they are relaxed and flared or tightly tailored, trousers are an ideal way to feel comfortable, stylish and powerful. We have paired our classic Rebecca Ivory court shoes with these gorgeous trousers from Viktor and Rolf for a sophisticated style. 

If dresses and heels are not to your taste do not panic, we have still got your back! Our Florence Flat pumps look effortlessly chic with these Lela Rose patterned trousers for a modern feminine feel. 

 

Our block heels are a great option for a civil ceremony. They are super sophisticated and oh-so-comfy. The perfect wear again style for brides-to-be.

You can style Mia with a short dress for a fashion forward modern style or with a beautiful tailored suit like this one from Lela Rose. Tailoring and powerful suits are increasingly popular for civil ceremonies as they are styles that you will feel comfortable and at ease in.
