How to create this chic effect?

Countless couples are choosing this sweet symbol to inspire their moodboards, either through subtle accents or bold statement features. Whatever your vision, this is one trend that can be accommodated to any style with elegant ease. And because it is so beautifully versatile, no bow-inspired wedding aesthetic will be the same as any other. The options are endless – read on for our take on some dream day details that can only be improved with a bow.

 

Gowns.

Bows on wedding gowns are a truly versatile vision that is here to stay.

Small bow detailing through a lace bodice or sweet tiny twists across gown detail are subtle additions that can add a romantic and feminine flavour to any gown.

While at the other end of the spectrum, a bold bow feature or statement piece around which the gown is built is sophisticated and chic with just a hint of nostalgia, for the contemporary bride with a timeless edge.

And don’t forget your wedding party – bridesmaids gowns can echo the visual imprint of the bridal outfit through the use of carefully curated bow detailing.

 

Florals.

For a contemporary take on a classic style, add bows to your bouquet. A lux silk ribbon tied simply around a stunning bouquet can elevate any arrangement, and kept simple and sleek in an ultra-modern hue will ensure this enduring trend feels fresh.

 

 

Accessories.

From bow-tied shoes to bow-adorned headpieces, veils and bags, there are endless ways to incorporate bows into your bridal fashion. These accessories can add a playful and stylish touch to your wedding day look.

 

Champagne Tower.

Elevate your champagne tower moment by tying delicate bows around the stems of champagne flutes or adding a dramatic bow to the base of your tower. It’s a small detail that adds an extra layer of perfectly on-point elegance to this celebratory moment.

 

 

Decor details.

Whether it’s a chic twist of silk to elevate your tablescape or a bold bow incorporated into your wedding day stationery, if it’s a part of your wedding styling, it can most likely have a bow attached.
