Fashion designer Carly Cushnie isn’t a stranger to the world of bridalwear. Her signature feminine drapery and tailoring style made her a popular household name when she launched her bridal line back in 2017. During the fashion season of spring 2020, Cushnie presented her last bridalwear collection. Now, in 2022, she’s returned to the world of wedding fashion with a bang! This time, Cushnie has joined forces with the high-end bridal boutique BHLDN for her collection.

The New Collection

The new BHLDN Wedding x Carly Cushnie Collection is an inclusive bridalwear line with designer pieces available in sizes 0-18. The collection includes a range of wedding gowns, dresses for receptions, and other occasion looks, all of which are priced under $1400. The BHLDN wedding capsule designed by Carly Cushnie features sophisticated pieces, especially for modern brides. It also has options for bridesmaids and wedding guests. Cushnie explained that the pieces of this collection are crafted with refined details that make each item unique. The minimalistic creations feel modern and feminine. According to Cushnie, she wanted to offer contemporary brides a variety of outfit options for different types of wedding ceremonies, and also different looks for the events throughout the nuptials.

The Modern Looks

The BHLDN Wedding x Carly Cushnie Collection offers several different looks for modern brides and their bridesmaids. The Clementine one-shoulder wedding dress with a thigh-high slit will make you the diva of the day. Highlighting different silhouettes, there are various stylish options. For example, the Jordan off-shoulder wedding gown with V-neckline and sheer sleeves. There’s also the Astaire off-shoulder cut-out midi dress with an A-line waist and the Lynne off-shoulder gown with a high slit and fluffy voluminous bodice. The modern minimalist brides can pick the Anastasia tiered mini dress with spaghetti straps. For the reception, you can try the ultra-modern look with the Samantha long-sleeve blazer mini dress or the Selwyn jacket with draped shoulder detail and wide-leg pants set.

Are you one of the brides-to-be who prefer to say “I do” in the golden months of autumn? If yes, the following wedding trends from 2019 will help you master your bridal style. Autumn is unpredictable when it comes to weather conditions, but designers have proved that there’s no need to sacrifice style for warmth or vice versa.

Bridal Separates

With endless combinations, your wedding day look can be perfectly tailored to the climate of your destination. Plus, choosing a gown made of two pieces is quite possibly the best way to wear your bridal look again and again.

Wedding day outfits could be weather-proofed by adding detachable sleeves, tops, or overskirts, which can be easily removed or swapped out — ready for an evening of dancing.

Statement Sleeves

Wedding dresses with sleeves during this time of the year are a great idea for the brides-to-be who want to express their style and feel comfortable during the event. According to Alice Temperley — founder of Temperley Bridal — bell sleeves can add drama to any wedding dress and long sleeves can help keep the chill away.

Skip the White Wedding Trends

There’s no doubt that colorful wedding dresses are commonplace on the runway during Bridal Fashion Week, but it’s good to note that the concept is yet to catch on in the mainstream. Designers are doing their best to change that. While Brear suggests going for opulent golds, Temperley recommends embracing the beautiful autumnal color palette that comes with the new season through intricate details in the wedding dresses.

Lift the Veil

If you want to add a finishing touch to your bridal look, then you should think about the accessories. You can go for a traditional veil, which will add a touch of old-world drama to your ensemble, but you can skip the veil in favor of more modern alternatives like headbands.
