The Anti Dresses: Cool-Yet-Timeless Styles For Non-Traditional Brides

Underscored by a refined and classic mood, Whistles Wedding returns this season, curating a selection of ageless styles reimagined with the contemporary bride in mind. A new generation of brides are opting for elegant trouser suits and flowing jumpsuits to subvert tradition as they stride down the aisle. Investing in a tailored two-piece or all-in-one over a conventional gown offers re-wearability, something which is becoming more important to brides everywhere as we all become more aware of our impact on the planet. Tailoring is taking over and a recent shift is ensuing, whether you’re planning to walk down an aisle, opting for a civil ceremony, in search of an engagement party outfit or a second look for your big day, embrace two of our most powerful bridal silhouettes that are as unique as those who choose to say ‘I do’ in them.

The Andie Wedding Suit

Nothing speaks to the modern bride aesthetic quite like a fluid and feminine white tuxedo. Sophisticated and achingly cool, a tailored and polished two-piece is just as impactful as a showstopping wedding gown. Minimalist styles like the matching Andie Trousers and Andie Blazer ooze an effortless, nonchalant vibe. Brides-to-be who may be looking for the perfect wedding dress with a desire to swerve tradition can take inspiration from the tailored two-piece famously worn by socialite Bianca Jagger in 1971 for her Saint-Tropez wedding to Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. Just because you’re choosing to suit up, doesn’t mean you need to forgo the romance that comes with the corsetry, silk and lace of wedding dresses. Add a dose of drama to the final look whilst giving a nod to tradition by layering the blazer over a luxurious lace or silk cami. Crystal-embellished jewels are bridal standard and point-toe heels add a cool-yet-timeless finish.

The Tie Back Bridal Jumpsuit

Sometimes, the best bridal outfits don’t involve a wedding dress at all. Put comfort to the fore with a versatile and stylish all-in-one style — free from tight-fitting corsets, heavy skirts and long trains. A striking white wedding jumpsuit will allow you to move around with ease, dancing your way through the evening. Our expertly-tailored Tie Back Bridal Jumpsuit is a beautiful and unique choice for contemporary weddings, boasting an elegant close neckline, wide legs and an impactful tie-back detail. This minimalist look has maximum impact, pair it with your best dangling earrings and ivory strappy heels for a monochromatic and formal look or style it with a faux-fur shawl for a powerfully elegant silhouette.
