New Zealand bridal designer, Trish Peng, has however come up with a ‘REVERSIBLE’ collection which is pretty much a 2-in-1 wedding dress collection, so now you can switch up your look ‘from one material to another by opening two hand-stitched zips which run down each side of the gown’, or detaching and attaching new features for your dress.

Would you try a 2-in-1 dress for your big day? See the whole collection here.

Be that as it may, like two peas in a pod, the brand yearned for more. Wana Sambo’s desire to celebrate an even bigger milestone left them longing to create that garment that honours one of the best days of a person’s life – a wedding dress.

According to the official website, “As is the Wana Sambo brand’s ethos, we designed some of the most gorgeous multi-functional dresses for this collection; a ball gown with dual detachable tulle sleeves, a bateau neckline gown with low-cut back and a detachable train, a mermaid Dress lined with charmeuse silk sewn together by hand using French lace and finally, a double layered couture-style gown for the daring bride.”

Introducing their first ever bridal collection, ‘Grace and Elegance’.

First off, of course: #thedress

The initial photo of bride, Sophie Turner’s wedding dress was released by Louis Vuitton designer, Nicolas Ghesquière via his Instagram page. The actor was photographed wearing an immaculately detailed custom gown, with a gorgeous full lace skirt and veil on display. “Absolut beauty @sophiet,” he captioned the photo.

The newlyweds also shared a photo on both their Instagram pages, where we got not only a full view of the happy couple (*tears*), but also a look at the front of the dress, for the first time. “Mr and Mrs Jonas,” they captioned it, sweetly.

Turner and Jonas, who were joined by Priyanka Chopra, Maisie Williams, Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas, among other celebrities, were expected to have both a traditional and quirky wedding. “Their love really shows and watching them together touched everyone at the wedding,” an Entertainment Weekly source said. “They couldn’t keep their eyes off each other. It was emotional for everyone involved during the ceremony because Sophie and Joe sweetly welled up. They had such happy tears; everyone felt their emotion.”

If you picked B, it’s clear you’re passionate about cake! As a bride (or groom), you want nothing but the best on your Big Day, and that never excludes the dessert. Not only will it (most likely) be what you and your guests feast on; it’s also a centrepiece at your wedding, so it’s important to pick the right one. For that reason, we teamed up with Nigerian cake-maker, Hegai Cakes, to discuss the top wedding cake tips no one tells you.

Quality

“The reason you would go into a store to buy cupcakes or a cake loaf is because you like both the taste and texture,” Hegai Cakes founder says. “A wedding cake can be pricey, so you want to make sure you’re not just paying for the looks.”

It is imperative to understand that the more complex the design of your cake is, the more you’re likely to have to pay for it.

Customer Service

“This is almost everything! The way you’re attended to when you call or send an email to inquire, the follow up, and aura from your cake designer are all key! If they take care of you and put your mind at ease, leading up to the day, then the actual day will be no different.”

Testimonials

“You’re more likely to have peace-of-mind when a cake designer is tried-and-tested, ” she says. “Look out for what previous clients have to say about them, and if you’re pleased with what you see/hear, this could be the green light.” She also points out that you avoid only going for established names. “I’m all for trying out upcoming cake designers. Speak to them, and if all the other criteria mentioned here are ticked, give them a chance!”

Reliability

“This ties in with testimonials. If they have a record for being reliable – their word being their bond – then this is a go area.”

Style

In regards to theme for your wedding, Hegai Cakes CEO says, “it’s likely you’d want your wedding cake to tie in with the theme. I think it’s important for your wedding cake to represent the couple that you are – traditional, hybrid or experimental.” But it doesn’t end there. “It is imperative to understand that the more complex the design of your cake, the more you’re likely to have to pay for it.”

Price

“You are paying for time! A lot of people tend to think wedding cakes should be cheap and cheerful, but if you want a skyscraper, it’s not built in a day. Don’t think about it as just ingredients, but the time that’s been taken to create it with delicate hands, the thought process that goes into it, your design… all that is what you’re paying for.”

“Love, purity and wisdom mark this season’s bridal collection – inspired by the lotus flower, with its organic lines and its spiritual symbolism,” the brand shared on Instagram. “At a crossroad of past and present, intimacy and tradition, the Zuhair Murad woman has decided to tie the knot.”

Modern lace pattern designs with a traditional feel are found throughout the collection, and the lovely detailing captures the spirit of the entire season.

To show off the new season’s natural-inspired dresses, the brand captured each lookbook image in a lovely outdoor photo shoot. We love seeing how these ultra-luxurious pieces would blend in with charming outdoor wedding ceremonies – especially in the spring or early fall seasons!
