The New Bridal Collections We Love

October traditionally marks the time when bridal brands launch their new wedding dress collections. This year was no different – from hand-painted creations to simple, structured and wear-again pieces, we've picked our favourites from last month's big reveal...

Rime Arodaky 

Parisian-based designer Rime Arodaky creates beautiful feminine dresses… with an edge. Gowns embody effortless glamour and are produced with incredible craftsmanship. The new 2022 collection, using French chiffon, crepe, delicate semi-sheer tulle and intricate pearl detailing, is fashion-forward and contemporary, yet romantic and a little bit sexy.

Hermione de Paula 

The Virēre collection from Hermione de Paula takes inspiration the ideas of transformation and renewal. Also inspired by underwater gardens, waterfalls and ruffled clam shells, layers of soft silks, tulles, organza and lace are combined with hand-painted silks and 3D silk organza flowers to create an edit of interchangeable separates so brides can wear them again in the future. The brand can also create unique artwork for the bride to be added to the piece – favourites include flowers and hand-painted secret messages, as well as meaningful dates or initials.
