One of my favourite Bridal designers, Stephanie Allin’s new collection is finally here. Aptly named ‘Dolce Vita’ it contains gowns with old hollywood glamour and vintage influences aplenty, whilst still appearing modern and fresh.

Without further ado, here are my picks from the collection. Head over to Stephanie Allin’s site to see the best of the rest.

One of my favourite things about Stephanie Allin is that she has remembered the shorter bridal gown. Featured previously in our short sweet and sexy post, now Allin has done it again with Bardot; this ballerina length tulle skirted piece of perfection perfect for twirling around in on your wedding day! For a bit of glamourama how about the Ucello feather shrug with a distinctly twenties feel to it.

There’s more than a bit of Hollywood glamour in these three gowns and a neckline to suit every bride. (Castello and Camilla first and second.) Bringing the gowns bang up to date they all sit on the natural waist with either a belt, sash or bejeweled detail to draw attention to an hourglass silhouette. I’m loving the asymmetrical detail shown here on Gabriella which really wouldn’t look out of place on the red carpet and would perfectly suit a glittering winter wedding.

Last but by no means least, Melissa is a sophisticated yet modern gown (and I do love a well done bow detail,) styled with an oh so chic matching hair bow, seriously, how cute is this look? And for the Bride looking for simplicity itself, Ava with her sweetheart neckline and flattering cross over body will show off all your best features.

Head over to Stephanie Allin for more details on their current sample sales in London and Mumbles and to view more of her gorgeous gowns.

Yours Truly,
