‘MY HIGH STREET

PICKS’

As H&M launches a wedding dress for

less than £60 (we know!), we unveil

the best nds for brides on a budget

WITH ITS GENTLY DRAPING SKIRT and pleated illusion neckline,

this is a lightweight Grecian-goddess-style dress. e gathering at

the waist gives the simple silhouette denition, while the sheer

neckline is lightly embellished with trailing oral beading, which

is simple enough to suit the fabric’s lightness; £59.99, hm.com

ALLOVER EMBELLISHMENT can look cheap but the good

standard of this gown is amazing value for money. e beading

consists of seed pearls and tiny sequins on metallic-embroidered

tulle, giving the dress real shape and form, while the plunging

neckline and back add a bit of va-va voom; £499, monsoon.co.uk

TASSELS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE but this surprising mix of

embellished tulle panels and diagonal fringing is fashion forward

and daring. Bias-cut can be hard to wear for even the slimmest

gure but the amount of detail and seamless joining makes the

lines of this dress smooth, long and lean; £395, phase-eight.co.uk

FED UP OF STRAPLESS? A well-cut sweetheart bodice gives

a good amount of support, with the light and sheer lace overlay

and uttery sleeves just long enough to cover upper arms and add

a touch of demure Downton style. A great dress for those brides

with curves, the crystal embellishment cinches in the waist,

accentuating an hourglass silhouette; £395, coast-stores.com
