Topshop's new bridal collection starts at £79 - Here's a first look

Every piece was designed with a modern bride in mind

The new collection moves towards a more carefree and spirited sensibility

Topshop has finally released the first images of its bridal collection that launches online and in selected stores from Thursday April 13.

As wedding costs add up to well over £20,000 these days, it’s no wonder brides on a budget are looking for ways to cut back - now you can get the dress of your dreams at a fraction of the price.

Shunning traditional formalities, the new collection moves towards a more carefree and spirited sensibility with a modern bride in mind; whether she’s having a relaxed wedding on a beach, a chic inner-city ceremony or wants a second dress for the evening celebrations.

Available in sizes 4-16, the collection includes five limited-edition bridal dresses in a range of versatile silhouettes that range from £350-£795.

From strapless, tie-shoulder and Bardot each one is elegantly finished in silk organza, draped lace and tulle with delicate pearl and silver thread embellishments.

There is also an extensive range of bridesmaid dresses that will set you back between £85-£245.

Fashioned in an array of muted pastels such as soft heather, butterscotch and pretty floral prints the styles run the gamut of soft cold-shoulder styles, cowl tie satin slips and cape-sleeved maxi dresses.

In addition, a carefully edited selection of shoes all priced at £79 complete the collection with lacy lingerie and bejewelled hair accessories to boot.

But, you don’t have to just buy from them from the rack. Topshop are offering an authentic bridal experience with complimentary appointments available within the Personal Shopping Suites at selected stores so that you can try the dresses on in a luxurious setting.
