One thing we have learned over the years is that there are no rules in the world of weddings! You can do and wear whatever you like, and do not let anyone tell you otherwise, especially when it comes to your look. You want to feel and look like the best version of yourself, in an ensemble that celebrates your own personal bridal style. With this in mind lots of brides are, in fact, saying 'no' to the dress, and instead opting for a slick bridal suit, if not for the main event, then at least for one of the many happy ancillary dos. Your civil ceremony, rehearsal dinner, day two celebrations, hen party... all ideal opportunities to don a chic two-piece. Of course Bianca Jagger was the first to break the mould in 1971 when she wed Mick Jagger in a white Yves Saint Laurent bridal suit complete with an oversized veiled bridal hat - an accessory trend that has become the go-to headpiece for fashion-forward brides. Since then other celebrities have followed in white tailored suits, including Laura Whitmore, Millie Mackintosh, and Bonnie Ryan. Here you'll find where you can buy a fabulous bridal suit for yourself or your bridesmaids, off-the-peg or made by a bridal designer, as well as inspiration as to how to style yours! A wedding more often than not, involves multiple events, which means multiple bridal looks. A white suit is a stylish way to change things up. Whether you wish to go all out with embellishments, or stay sharp and low-key, a bridal wedding suit can be a timeless, or mega fun, outfit for any wedding event, from the big day itself, to engagement parties, a menu tasting, hen party, registry office, honeymoon and even your rehearsal dinner or day two. The choice is endless, and best of all, a bridal suit is a sustainable option as you will wear it for years to come, either together or as separates. Just like a wedding dress, your bridal suit budget really is up to you. There are plenty of high street and high-end, ready-to-wear options from ASOS to Alexander McQueen, that you can order online or in-store and wear immediately. Alternatively you can visit a bridal store for an appointment, just like you would for a wedding dress, and order from a bridal designer. You could also get a bespoke suit made.
