Inspired by clean lines, confident silhouettes, and effortless elegance - designed for city weddings in London, Essex and the Home Counties.

1. Addilyn by Jenny Yoo -Sleek, Sculptural, Effortless

Addilyn is the definition of refined simplicity. With its soft scoop neckline, fitted bodice and fluid satin fabric, it speaks to the bride who wants to feel composed, confident and quietly stylish.

This is bridalwear with purpose. No fuss. No trend-led details. Just beautifully considered design, for the modern woman who knows her style. And not forgetting the neck scarf, an accessory we didn’t know we needed until now.

Best for: London registry offices, minimalist town halls, or an intimate city dinner.

Style it with: Barely-there heels, clean hair, and a square clutch for a modern finish.

2. Judith by Zoe Rowyn-Tailored with Intent

Judith is bold in its restraint. A structured silhouette with architectural shape, it balances crisp tailoring with a subtle statement, a detachable oversized bow detail that brings a sculptural softness.

This gown isn’t shouting, t’s whispering confidence.

Best for: Contemporary gallery weddings, Central London townhouses, or a fashion-forward ceremony in the city.

Style it with: No veil. Just gold hoops, slick hair, and a moment of red lipstick.

3. Luna by Edwina O’Gorman-Feminine, Fluid, Uncomplicated

Luna is for the bride who wants to feel like herself, but better. The deep V neckline, fluid lines, and subtle volume in the sleeves give the silhouette quiet presence. Understated, but unmistakably special.

Designed in sustainable crepe, it reflects our modern values as much as our aesthetic.

Best for: Intimate weddings in the Home Counties, relaxed city garden venues, or a design-led space in East London.

Style it with: Low bun, soft veil, and pared-back florals.

4. Taylor by Jenny Yoo - Clean Lines with a Confident Sleeve

Taylor offers a long-sleeved option that’s neither traditional nor heavy. With its luxe satin and subtle tailoring, it feels considered, not overdone. The fitted silhouette is quietly powerful, ideal for brides who prefer clarity over embellishment.

It’s the modern classic, reimagined.

Best for: London city ceremonies, architectural registry offices, or transitional day-to-evening weddings.

Style it with: Hair pulled back, statement earrings, and maybe just one single-stem bloom.

5. Elder by Edwina O’Gorman-Structured, Textural, Intentional

Elder is for the bride who wants something that feels architectural yet fluid. The ruffle neckline and sculptural folds create a form that feels as at home in an editorial as it does in a quiet country chapel.

It’s the kind of gown that doesn’t need embellishment. The structure and ruffle detail is the statement.

Best for: Essex countryside weddings, converted barns with a modern edge, or industrial venues softened with light.

Style it with: A hand-tied bouquet, no veil, and a clean silhouette that speaks for itself.
