Temperley Bridal unveiled a stunning range of fantasy wedding gowns at New York Bridal Market last month. We sighed and swooned as soon as we clapped eyes on these chic, folksy and fabulous creations, where silhouettes pay tribute to the female form. ‘Titania’ showcases soft and dreamy a-lines (very much Temperley Bridal’s signature shape), delicate Chantilly lace and delicious details, which combine to produce elegant, ethereal, and more importantly timeless wedding gowns for a chic and contemporary bride. Intricate embellishments appear throughout the London designer’s 2013/1014 collection, with hand-applied crystals, hand stitched embroidery and hand folded flower and ribbon detailing.
Temperley London
Alice Temperley’s Temperley London is a fashion power house defining contemporary British design. Known as the modern ‘Cool Britannia’, Temperley is famed for its painstakingly detailed, contemporary structures which, through modern, feminine silhouettes and off-tempo embellishments, embody that illustrious British eccentricity.

Heather
Heather has to be one of our picks of the bunch for its distinctive style and wholesome beauty. While we adore the House on the Prairie-esque modesty, achieved with an almost Amish style blouse (complete with buttons, high neck and ribbon bow tie) and debutante skirt, we are more impressed with the balance between reserved and racey that is achieved with elegant, sheer fluted sleeves, and lush lace and embroidery detail.

Orchid with Amatha lace jacket
For the ultimate in bridal cover ups next spring, our eyes are on Temperley’s cropped Chantilly lace Amantha jacket. Delicate and divine, Amantha looks as soft as butter and as light as whipped cream. We could just eat it up.
Amantha is shown here over Orchid, a chantilly lace, silk tulle and satin ribbon tiered gown which, with its wrapped v-neckline, will flatter any figure as it floats down the aisle…
Crystal Mirage
Dorothy with Mantilla Veil
Silk satin Dorothy rides the perfect wave between elegant and sexy, with its slinky lines and chic detailing. The intricate hand beading an embroidery cascading down the front of the skirt is only nearly outdone by the trendy, classy statement cowel draped back. Scrumptuous!

“Each dress has to be the perfect blend of functionality and fantasy; a bride must never feel overwhelmed by her dress but allow them tobe the ultimate version of themselves. All embroidery and fabric manipulation in my bridal collection are applied and crafted by hand andwe only use the highest quality fabrics and French lace.” – Alice Temperley
