We are extremely pleased to welcome back Magpie Wedding (formerly the National Vintage Wedding Fair) to London’s Excel and Manchester Central, who's once again curating the Vintage Village.
Their ethos would be to provide creative inspiration having a touch from the artisan and key trends for that free-thinking and design-led couple. So, whether it's boho, vintage, festival, ethical or minimal you're after for the big day, their shows, as well as their village at the National, are the type to visit.
Trousers/Jumpsuits
Bridal separates have grown to be a common alternative for one-piece dresses and brides are taking the non-traditional look a measure further by choosing trousers or jumpsuits. We love the thought of wearing a skirt around the trouser element for that ceremony, then dancing the night time away in comfort while developing a different look for that reception! Go
Florals
Florals were a large feature from the 2022 catwalks and three-dimensional textures are feeding into bridal boutiques for flower-loving brides. Applique flowers, floral laces and textured fabrics are set to be a large trend for 2022 beyond!
Capes
Who doesn’t want to become a superhero bride? Capes, whether as part of the dress or perhaps in place of a veil, are often asked for within the boutique and that we can understand why! There’s something great about wearing a cape on your special day and it adds amazing detail towards the back of the dress!
Low backs
What’s the old saying? Advance business, party behind? And, for brides-to-be in 2022, backs are simply as important as fronts! Remember, your friends and relatives spend rather considerable time admiring the back of the dress on your ceremony along with a low back is a superb way to add detail without too much on the show!
Colour
Colour has existed for a while now however the way it’s built into the dress is promoted massively during the last year or so. Dip-dye, ombre and vintage wedding dresses happen to be a huge hit within the boutique; brides love a choice of choosing any colour they would like to match their unique theme or style.
