While covering the shoulders completely, the beautifully traditional bridal gown manages to still be captivating with gorgeous embroidered flowers and pearls cascading down the décolleté. Fussier and statement gowns are on trend for 2020, while many of the style seen this year are also decidedly traditional and strikingly beautiful. The delicate lace and layers of fabric emphasise the romance of the occasion.

If you are considering candles think about what type you need and what style would suit your wedding theme. If you are having a classic, fairy-tale or traditional wedding then white tapers like the ones above may be for you. If you are having a much more laid back, boho or country wedding putting tea lights in glass jars can be a charming way to illuminate your space.
