Sassi Holford 2011 Bridal Collection
If Sassi Holford isn’t a name you’ve heard before, then we hope these designs will catch your eye. In her own words, she ‘designs English Couture wedding gowns for the discerning bride’. She’s been in business for nearly four decades, and the one thing you can definitely say about her is that she’s never boring. Of course, you will find classic bridal silhouettes in every one of her collections. But, a gown simply cannot be judged by silhouette alone. It’s what she does with them that counts: fabulous fabrics, perfectly placed embellishments, and comfort with even the most fitted gown. Take a look at this collection for inspiration, and – hopefully – your dream dress.
It’s always a good idea to note how the models are styled. Simply put, these are the hairstyles and makeup that go perfectly with Sassi’s dresses. The look for 2011 is relaxed, with romantic loose waves draped freely over shoulders. Rigid helmet hair is out, and nice-and-easy is definitely in. If this is a style you’ll go for, do ask the hairstylist for windy day remedies, just in case it gets too much for your perfect locks. The models are barely wearing any jewellery – the dresses speak for themselves.
Finally, if you fall in love with one of her designs, you might as well add bridesmaids’ dresses. Yes, Sassi designs evening wear too. Even better, if you are in London and find yourself in the Kensington neighbourhood, do stop by her boutique. Pictures simply can’t do her designs justice.
