Bridal separates are the perfect alternative for brides who want options and to share their own unique sense of style rather than wearing a traditional one-piece wedding gown.
Separates offer you freedom and the chance to mix and match tops, skirts, trousers, jackets and trains to create a completely custom look.
On the day you may want to have multiple looks, with bridal separates you can achieve this. You may transition from a more modest ceremony look to a party outfit in the evening. Separates offer a tailored fit as you can wear different sizes on the top and bottom which may cut down on alterations and the associated cost.
Today we’re delighted to share bridal separates from some of Ireland best boutiques and designers, we hope you enjoy:
