Think vintage-inspired ruffled slips, embroidered silk dresses and ruffled tulle skirts.

Who says a wedding dress has to be about pomp and circumstance? Pinto wore British brand Needle & Thread on her wedding day, and considering that they are best known for their intricate embroidery and romantic silhouettes, it was an appropriate choice.

Who can resist the sweet allure of pink? Right now, more and more brides are choosing a wedding dress that reflects their individual style and personality, moving away from customary white and ivory gowns in favour of brighter, bolder colour choices that feel thoroughly
modern and chic.
What makes a wedding dress suitable for autumn is ultimately down to your personal preference and what your overall wedding day looks like. Although I was an August bride, my wedding took place in my Scottish coastal hometown, so, erring on the side of caution, I chose a fitted dress to minimise the chill. Though it was sleeveless, I was prepared for what the enviable chilly downpour that ensued thanks to a beautiful, ecru leather jacket I bought on a whim just the week before. And I’m so glad I did, as I barely took to it off.
