The editorial team are constantly picking up on bridal fashion designs, but we’ve also noticed how incredibly different each design is, and most importantly, how personal it becomes to the bride. Because let’s face it, your wedding dress will live on as a part of your love story, forever. It’ll be captured in photos, reminisced over by friends, and potentially handed down to the next generation. It’s no light decision. The bridal fashion world is vast, choices are endless, and in a society dictated by trends, it can be hard to tell what you actually like, and what’s just temporary influence. So, I’ve gathered our editorial teams’ favourite wedding dresses and asked them why they love it.

INTRODUCING STEF GRINBERG AND THE HAILEY BIEBER WEDDING DRESS

Please welcome to the stage the first editorial team member: Stef Grinberg. Known for her love of highly refined coffee, matching silver jewellery and quick with a quip, Stef knew almost instantly the wedding dress which spoke to her: Hailey Bieber’s wedding dress. Hailey married Justin Bieber in 2019, and the pair quickly became one of the most famous wedded couples within the pop culture world. Hailey Biebers’ Wedding Dress: Designed by the late Virgil Abloh, Hailey wore a custom Off White gown with a low v-neck back and an asymmetrical off the shoulder design. To perfectly adorn the poised model, the dress had mermaid shaping and was covered in delicate interwoven lace. The corseted gown was paired with long sleeves and a train blending seamlessly with her veil; the true statement of this dress.
“I think the veil is a modern take on a classic sentiment and adds an uncommon aspect to the outfit and overall aesthetic,” Stef said.
For those unaware, the sentiment Stef is referring to is the words ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ embroidered into the bottom of Haileys veil in capital letters and a blocky font.
“I think that seeing such customisation has definitely influenced me … I can put more of my personality into my own wedding outfit design in the future,” Stef said.

INTRODUCING BELINDA COLEMAN AND THE AMAL CLOONEY WEDDING DRESS

In true Belinda style, she chose an elegant wedding dress donned by the equally classy Amal Clooney. As the editorial teams resident refined fashionista, Belinda took time to carefully consider a true wedding dress reflection of herself. The wedded couple of Amal and George Clooney is arguably the physical embodiment of timeless sophistication, and this was no different on their wedding day more than ten years ago. Amal Clooney’s’ Wedding Dress: Amal wore a gown designed by Oscar de la Renta. He was eighty-two years old when he created the flawless dress, and it became his last before he passed. With a cream-coloured silk combination of tulle, organza and taffeta, this off-the-shoulder gown was a French ivory dream. A combination of pearls, caviar beads, and rhinestones sewn into the bodice created a captivating floral pattern.
“What stood out to me was the lace and the shaping of the gown … it also looked good in ALL the pictures rather than just some,” Belinda said.
Consideration of how a wedding dress will photograph is vital, as these are the images that will become framed for forever, or as close to forever as humanly possible.
“Ooo and I just loved the dramatic cathedral train on her dress!” Belinda said.
Belinda might even blend a cathedral train into her OWN wedding dress in November later this year. Yes, that’s right; we have an editorial team member from a wedding magazine getting married! If she does include the train, don’t worry, we’ll make sure to snap a pic.
