Choosing your wedding dress can be slightly overwhelming with so many shapes and styles – where do you begin?

A delicate sweetheart shape is a traditional choice of neckline or, for something more contemporary, look to Vera Wang for inspiration. Her Spring 2015 collection features exquisitely cut dresses with deep v-necklines and plunging backs. Amongst other designers, off-the-shoulders is a popular design detail this season. If more coverage is preferred, choose a capped or 3/4 sleeve in a sheer fabric-lace, illusion or a silk chiffon would be perfect for a summer wedding.

This season we’ve seen designers use Tulle in a completely new and innovative way. Creating shape and volume, it is light and effortless in appearance – far from the traditional full-bodied skirts that are often made heavy by layers of netting.

The phrase ‘a white wedding’ allegedly originates from trend setter Queen Victoria, while a coloured gown was a more common choice prior to this. Adding a tint of colour has become the latest trend in bridal wear – sky blue, blush pink and mint green were the most prominent colours amongst the catwalks.

For a less traditional look follow Solange Knowles. One of three outfits, the fashionista wore an ultra-chic jumpsuit during her wedding celebrations. Or, perhaps a two-piece bridal outfit – check out designers Reem Acra and Theia for how to wear this trend.

Adding something personal can make your day extra special. For example, Angelina Jolie wore a veil delicately embroidered with drawings from her children. If you search online, you can find beautiful handmade pieces that can be personalised to your day. For men, cufflinks, ties and handkerchiefs all printed with your initials, and for women, playful stickers for the soles of your shoes, engraved jewellery and embellished veils.

With the likes of Gucci and Richard James creating sharp, tailored menswear, the modern British groom can also break the mould with something contrary to the traditional suit with ample menswear for the big day across the market. Coloured suits look great, especially in bright bold colours. You could mix and match by choosing an alternate colour or patterned fabric in one aspect of your outfit, such as your shoes, shirt or tie. Apply this to your groomsmen as well, matching just one accessory for continuity.
