Luxe wedding dresses you’ll lust after for life

26th April 2011 2:30 pm

With the royal wedding just three days away, it’s fair to say we’ve got wedding fever good and proper. But hey, if there’s one thing we’ve heard enough of, it’s Kate Middleton’s dress – who’s designing it? (no, really, do spill); what will it be like? Will she actually wear one?

We think it’s high time we paid a little attention to all the other beautiful brides to be out there, and as such, we’ve scoured the rails of the best bridal boutiques, high street stores and high end hot spots to bring you our edited selection of the best bridalwear out there.

From luxe designer dresses to show-stopping alternatives and pretty purse-friendly frocks, we’ll be delivering our must-see guide to wedding dresses throughout this week so you can all indulge in a little wedding fever of your own.

If you’re a bride-to-be, take inspiration from our picks, and if you’re not, hell, indulge a little.

See below for our round-up of the luxe wedding dresses you’ll be lusting after for life…

Temperley Long Twinkle Dress

Scattered with hundreds of three-dimensional silk flowers and embellished with Swarovski crystals, Temperley’s long twinkle dress is every bit the fairytale gown. And to seal the deal, embroidery alone takes four days. Feeling special now, right?

If it’s pouffe you’re after, Monique Lhuillier’s rose gown will satisfy your sartorial needs. With a fitted ruched bodice and a full, appliqued floral skirt, this wedding dress is nothing short of a sweet statement.
