House of Savin established its brand in 2010 and has since become globally recognised as both an influential and progressive bridal atelier. Head designer Andrey is known for his intricate hand painted gowns, delicate shaping and stunning floral embellishment.

The introduction of the luxury Savin Prive collection in 2022 heralded a collection that embraced extremes, crisp and graphic lines in Italian crepe cosying up to the drama of 3d florals and exaggerated volume.

All of our pieces are crafted, designed and produced in London using techniques associated with contemporary couture. At House of Savin, we pride ourselves on our incredible team of embroiderers, seamstresses and finishers.

We adore the modern mermaid vibe and gorgeous 3D floral details - a show stopper!

ADORE BY JUSTIN ALEXANDER 

The simple drama of this gown is mesmerising, she can be anything you want her to be at an amazing price too.

ADORE BY JUSTIN ALEXANDER 

The soft flowing pleated detailing and hint of bold print delicately showing through makes this a beautiful romantic gown with a hint of sparkle. 

ADORE BY JUSTIN ALEXANDER 

Our whole team love this gown, her beadwork is incredible, and she looks so elegant with 2 different looks for your big day. 

STELLA YORK 7940 

We are dreaming of this soft flowing ball gown.  The blush pink hues and lustrous pearl organza bring a real modern princess vibe 

JUSTIN ALEXANDER ISELIN 

It’s all about the bow on this beauty! This modern classic truly has it all. 

VENI INFANTINO FOR RONALD JOYCE 

The bold lace design and statement bow detail are definitely a head turner.

Everything about this gown is just beautiful! The clean lines and exposed boned bodice - less is more with this gown.

This runway worthy gown is one of my new season faves, love a halter at the moment but this one brings so much more.

Without Milla Nova’s iconic signature transformer styles, no collection is complete, which effortlessly switches between looks using detachable accessories to create versatile 2-in-1 designs. Speaking of accessories, most of the gowns have matching veils to complete the ensemble.

Milla Nova’s approach for the campaigns focuses on capturing the authentic essence of weddings to craft an entourage that serves as a source of inspiration for brides as they plan their special day. This year is no different. Milla Nova invites you to immerse in the cinematographic-like experience of Italian-inspired weddings, each with its own storyline and wedding theme, yet all centered around the main focus: the bride, who becomes the focal point of the entire wedding journey.

Chapter Bride collection was exclusively presented at BBFW and is already available at selected retailers in the UK, Turkey, Spain.

The post Сhapter Bride: Meet the newest collection by Milla Nova appeared first on Belle Bridal Magazine.

The Cool Britannia spirit of the 90s is very much alive in 2024’s UK bridal offering, from Savannah Miller’s deceptively simple selection of slinky showstoppers to Sassi Holford’s parade of super-luxe nostalgic silhouettes and Sanyukta Shrestha’s cruelty-free vegan silk confections.

On the subject of modern elegance, we’re living for Halfpenny London’s Balance Chapter Two collection, which debuted at NYBW 2023. This latest instalment from one of the industry’s most curve-friendly designers embraced extremes, from crisp tailoring and graphic lines to decadent 3D florals and exaggerated volume. The label’s signature structured bodices pair beautifully with playfully proportioned add-ons for a thoroughly fresh sartorial alchemy.

Channelling a similar sense of whimsy, Rita Colson’s all-new Resurgence bridal wear range is a study in main-character dressing. From forward-thinking flourishes (the frothy Aurora top is the ultimate extra) and exquisite tailoring (there’s a trouser suit to die for) to classic cuts with a 21^st century twist and plenty of sparkle, the designer’s high fashion credentials are clear in this technically breathtaking collection of big-day styles, with a look to suit every style of 2024 bride, from femme fatales and disco divas to festival babes.

Kindling’s modern take on romance is evident in the new Move Mountains range, which comprises an array of super-fresh gowns and separates. Clean lines and sheer layers pair with soft frills and intricate details to great ethereal effect. Made-to-order at the independent brand’s Yorkshire HQ, the collection embodies a woman-led, free-spirited feel that puts the bride at the core of everything, from its high-quality fabrics and slow fashion approach to bespoke styling and customisable options. It’s an authentic, heartfelt approach that resonates with tomorrow’s brides-to-be, and that we predict will be an Instagram sensation.

Modernity was also on Katy Britton’s mood board for 2024. With an array of eco and GOTS-certified silks used, the designer’s commitment to responsible production makes her new collection, which exudes a retro-modern bohemian glamour, even more impressive. We love the sexy cut-outs, filmy chiffon and Mikado ruffles.

Also flying the flag for ethical fabrics and inclusivity, E&W Couture’s showroom rack features an array of vegan-friendly samples in sizes 4 to 28, with unlimited made-to-order sizing available upon consultation. 2024’s State of Mind line features a dizzying array of edgy crop tops, flowing skirts and glitzy overlay gowns, however, the Welsh label’s earlier ranges remain evergreen, with effortless slips, separates and shimmery embellishments. If timeless pixie dream girl is your aesthetic, this label should be on your radar.

SO CATHERINE...

Tell us about your journey into becoming a designer at Eliza Jane Howell and your relationship with the late Gill Harvey.

I was fortunate enough to start working will Gill straight out of university and for over 25 years we developed a really close friendship. As well as working with Gill I also worked with other UK occasion wear brands such as Bernshaw. Around 10 years ago I went freelance and started my own business, making bespoke garments (including bridal) for private clients while also studying an MA in Fashion Illustration.

Gill was always thinking and planning ahead and had decided she wanted me to take over as the designer of Eliza Jane Howell. So in a lovely way, it felt so right for me. I had come full circle, back to where it began, to be taking over the label that Gill had created and getting to work with the fabulous team at Eliza Jane Howell.

Tell us about the new Legacy of Love collection and how this embodies the signature styling and craftsmanship of an Eliza Jane Howell piece?

Legacy of Love was my vision of continuing what Gill and the team had created, so every dress is individual, every beaded design is hand-drawn in-house and then hand-beaded by skilled craftsmen in our ateliers.

EVERY PEICE TAKES MONTHS TO PRODUCE, AND THIS CRAFTSMANSHIP COMBINED WITH THE ELEGANCE OF OUR DRESSES EMBODIES EVERYTHING AN ELIZA JANE HOWELL PIECE IS.

ANDREA CUTTS, ELIZA JANE HOWELL BRIDAL

What new accents and flourishes can we expect to see?

There is a real feeling of lightness and playfulness in the new collection; statement sleeves, soft feathers and touches of colour all mixed with new shorter lengths – which add a real point of difference this season. But of course this is an Eliza Jane Howell collection, so expect to see exquisitely beaded designs that complement and work so well with the new silhouettes introduced.

What is your favourite piece in the collection?

What is at the core of every gown design at Eliza Jane Howell?

The individuality, the attention to detail and the craftsmanship is absolutely our essence. We want every bride who wears one of our dresses to feel not just special on her big day, but like she has invested in something to be treasured for the future – a heirloom to be passed on. Fashion changes but elegance and style never dates.

What’s your favourite fabric to work with?

I love silk georgette and mesh jersey as they provide a beautiful light base for the beaded designs. Also the fabrics we use have a touch of stretch so they feel wonderful when worn.

Give us a trend that we can expect to see a lot more of in 2024 within the new season gowns.

Soft pretty colours will come to the fore, not just the expected white or pearl gowns. We ave loved playing with colour this collection and you can expect to see shades such as “tickle me pink”, “soft gold” and “nude” with flashes of silver and antique crystals. We are also able to offer a bespoke service on a selection of our dresses, so for the Eliza Jane Howells bride there is an amazing colour selection to choose from!

The post The Women Behind Eliza Jane Howell Bridal appeared first on Belle Bridal Magazine.

This collection was inspired by baroque mansions, Italian gardens and grand summerhouses… all dream venues that require dream dresses. Using luxury French laces, 3D embossed embroideries and sumptuous silk fabrics, we combine sophisticated, elegant silhouettes with our flattering corsetry.

A gown from the collection that sets your heart alight…

Milla – It just oozes romance. It’s modern in a romantic print yet refined and still very bridal. Its voluminous and dramatic, yet light to wear in a Italian mikado silk, with optional sleeves and a bow to allow the bride to add their own style.

Three words to sum up this collection.

ROMANTIC, LUXURY, MODERN

How you choose fabrics to work with? As a designer, why do you think a bride must care about the cut and fabric of her gown?

Luxury is about a feeling as much as a look, which is how I choose the fabrics. They are also lightweight to allow movement and generous layers, which gives an extra element of elegance and sophistication.

A top trend you can see emerging in bridal fashion in 2024?

Corsetry – women are beginning to see and feel the benefits of a fully constructed gown again, as well as appreciating the beauty of a simple gown, cut well and enhanced by a beautifully cut corset.

What’s next for Josephine Scott as a brand?

We’re launching our new label very soon, Avenue by Josephine Scott, which has a very different look – modern dresses for adventurous brides. On a personal level, I just want to continue creating dream gowns that make brides feel and look like a queen on their special day.
