As we look ahead to summer, we’re dreaming of those romantic mid-summer weddings, of vows in beautiful orangeries, Champagne in picturesque gardens, treasure hunts and rustic wedding ideas. As you consider the perfect wedding dress for strolling along garden paths with your beloved, we’re here to help.
1. If you would like to wear long sleeves, don’t miss this Beverly gown with ivory floral lace and cut open back by Claire Pettibone. Bohemian in style, we can just picture this beautiful dress floating down an aisle in a beautiful garden.

2. For something a little different, we’ve rather fallen for this ‘Gina’ bolero and skirt by Halfpenny London.

3. From the ‘Nine’ collection by Savannah Miller at Debenhams (Debenhams.com), this dress offers timeless elegance with boho style… and it won’t break the bank.

4. For a dreamy selection of ‘rustic inspired’ gowns, be sure to take a look at the Bohemian Rhapsody collection by Claire Pettibone. Queen Anne’s Lace gown is a beautiful choice, with satin champagne ribbons contrasting the lace bodice.

5. When it comes to high street bridal, Monsoon is a must. Their ‘Lucia’ embellished dress encapsulates ethereal boho beauty, and the high street price means you can save the pennies for your honeymoon!

6. For a summer wedding in the countryside or on the beach, the ‘Phaedra’ gown by Claire Pettibone is fit for a princess. We love the floaty chiffon and romantic capped sleeves.

7. Add a little glamour to your rustic style with this fabulous ‘Jasmine’ dress by Sally Lacock. Its kimono style offers a nod to the seventies, and the French lace is simply stunning.

8. Uber stylish and well-suited to a more rustic theme, we’d like to get married again just so we can wear this dreamy ‘Morgan’ shirt dress by Halfpenny London.

9. Shorter length dresses work well at rustic style weddings. Don’t miss this vintage inspired ‘Cressida’ wedding dress from Phase Eight. It may have a high street price tag, but it certainly doesn’t scrimp on designer style.

10. If only we could wear every dress from the Temperley London collection! For your rustic wedding, don’t miss the ‘Josephine’ dress.

11. Exquisite French lace makes this ‘Carly’ dress by Sally Lacock one of our absolute favourites. Choose the perfect historical venue to wear this, and be sure to add candlelight to the equation.
